General information

Short Summary
As a Turkish home appliance manufacturing company, which is considered one of the world's most famous technology giants and the market leader in Turkey, we aim to improve our investments with innovation-oriented international projects. Within the scope of these international programs, as Turkish home appliance manufacturing company, we can implement the applications of bio-intelligent technology developed in our white goods products as end users in the manufacturing industries.
Full Description
A Turkish home appliance manufacturing company owns encompassing 1.300.000 m2 of indoor space out of a total area of 970.000 m2 in Manisa/Turkey, is one of the largest industrial production complexes in Europe that produces in a single location. The generation itself has an export capacity to more than 160 countries globally, with 20000 employees, over 900 partners and 35.000.000 production capacities per year.
We are seeking partners for a collaborative project under the Eureka, ERA.NET, and Horizon Europe programs, focused on developing an innovative household refrigerator. It is aimed to develop a sensor algorithm that detects odors by monitoring the food spoilage process and air quality in the refrigerator and to integrate the smart odor sensor algorithms created with the developed temperature/humidity/gas sensors into the refrigerator, thus reducing bad odors and providing stable air quality with the air purification module in the refrigerator.
Our partner is expected to conduct preliminary tests with gases with the sensor to create databases for odor testing, then conduct tests with foods and create a database to train the sensor. According to the database created, a working algorithm for the smart air purification system will be developed with changes in the environment. Then, the sensor will be integrated into the refrigerator and air purification system.
