IFA 2020 Special Edition:

what visitors experience onsite

IFA 2020 Special Edition is into the final straight

today! Visitors who join the show onsite have

had the opportunity to experience the first global

industry gathering since the corona pandemic

began. Most importantly, IFA 2020 Special Edition

enables face-to-face meetings for building new

business contacts. Visitors are also enjoying a

range of real-life presentations and product

launches. For example, TCL has announced a

number of new high-end QLED TVs featuring a

new processor and pop-up cameras – enabling

videoconferencing, but ensuring intimacy for those

who fear “someone is watching them”. Haier group

launched a new AI-based cooking system, BSH

has a surprising new “PerfectDry” dishwasher,

Miele has launched a range of countertop coffee

makers… the list goes on.

What is more, as part of SHIFT Mobility meets

IFA NEXT, e-kick scooters, e-scooters, e-bikes

and cargo-pedelecs can be tested by visitors on

a specially designed track. Over the course of

the three days, the press conferences, Innovation

Engine stage and SHIFT Mobility Convention

add additional insights and news. Meanwhile,

journalists joining the show virtually via the

“Xtended Space” are able to get in touch with

speakers and exhibitors via the platform

2020 IFA Product Technology

Innovation Award winners unveiled

Global consumer electronics industry to gather pace, spurred by

consumption upgrade

As the industry reaches an inflection point due to the global health

crisis, the 2020 IFA Product Technology Innovation Award (IFA-PTIA)

winners have been announced, representing important product

technology innovations, and identifying key trends of the global

electronics industry.

8K and QLED TVs are taking centre stage,

healthy home appliances are achieving

explosive growth, small home appliances

are registering strong growth despite a weak

market environment, and wearable devices are

booming again.

The 2020 IFA-PTIA presented a total of 19

awards, going to 14 brands including Siemens,

Samsung, Midea, Panasonic, BOE, Electrolux,

CHiQ, Honor, Sony, LG, Philips, De'Longhi,

iRobot and Tecno in recognition of their groundbreaking

technology, design or applications in

products.

China-based global consumer electronics

brands have continued to be at the forefront of

innovation of the industry. Midea wins the “Smart

Kitchen Solutions Gold Award” for its new

Ifamily kitchen system and “User Experience

Innovation Product Gold Award” for its Air

Conditioning KFR-35GW/BP3DN8Y-XT100(1);

Honor wins “High-performance Innovative

Laptop Gold Award” for its MagicBook Pro and

“Outdoor Innovation Wearable Gold Award”

for its Watch GS Pro; BOE wins “Innovative

Display Technology Gold Award” for its Flexible

OLED Full-screen Display; CHiQ wins “Design

Innovation TV Gold Award” for its 75Q7ART 8K;

and Tecno wins “Camera Technology Innovation

Smartphone Gold Award” for its Camon 16

Premier.

Over the years, the IFA Product Technology

Innovation Award will continue to track global

consumer electronics products, empowering

the development of the industry.

Midea’s latest air conditioner

range adopts the 180-degree rotating air

duct technology which, coupled with a large

circulating air volume, solves a range of pain

points such as narrow air sweeping range, high

temperature in areas which cold air cannot

reach, sleep mode leading to high temperature,

and noisiness of other modes.

MagicBook Pro is the first of its kind in

terms of “lightness + performance” in the large

screen market. Thanks to excellent appearance

and screen quality, strong performance and

heat dissipation, comprehensive and balanced

configuration and featured multi-screen collaborative

experience, MagicBook Pro

is undoubtedly the most

versatile compact highperformance

laptop at

mainstream prices in 2020.

The Midea Ifamily system: stove,

ventilator and dishwasher, boasting intelligent

features and also working in linkage with each

other. All the Midea products can be connected

and controlled via the Midea Smart Home Meiju

app, delivering a digital intelligent kitchen.

The HONOR Watch GS

Pro is a sturdy and durable

GPS smartwatch that has

obtained 14 MIL-STD-

810G certifications. It

can withstand harsh

environments such as

low pressure, extreme

cold and heat, sand and

dust. Watch GS Pro has

over 100 work-out modes

and 25-day ultra-long battery

life. In addition to professional outdoor

functions, it boasts impressive performance

in health monitoring and smart functions. In

summary, it features innovative design concepts

and professional sports and health functions.

The Panasonic JX2 Series is

known for high-concentration nanoeX

purification technology that not only

actively purifies the air, kills numerous

viruses including coronavirus, but also

removes bacteria as well as common

household odours, as well as efficiently

decomposing harmful substances of

PM2.5. At the same time, the automatic

dust-exhausting cleaning robot cleans

and prevents mildew from the source and

ensure the air is always fresh.

LG 27GN950 is a latest flagship

gaming monitor, featuring a Nano IPS

screen with 4K resolution, DCI-P3

coverage of 98%, 10bit colour depth,

a screen refresh rate of 144Hz, and a

grayscale response time of 1ms (GTG). In

recent years, IPS has become a preferred

choice for many consumers looking

for screens with powerful all-around

performance.

De’Longhi D3G SB has keenly

captured the aspirations of the new

generation of young consumers for

coffee machines and pioneered the TBOI

De’Longhi mellowly extracted iced coffee

technology. D3G can make not only

traditional coffee that previous models do,

but also up to 20 kinds of summer special

drinks.

Rediscovering the joy of cooking -

thanks to smart kitchen aids

Dr Reinhard Zinkann, Executive Director and Co-Proprietor of Miele,

explains new digital applications for the kitchen and how domestic

appliances can be kept up to date

Smart kitchen aids are trending as they make many aspects of our lives easier

for us. We asked Dr Reinhard Zinkann whether his company is showcasing

innovations that may be trend-setters.

Yes, absolutely. For a start, we are presenting

a broad range of products once again this

year: laundry care with Miele is becoming

even more sustainable and convenient. In

terms of dishwashers, we are showcasing

compact appliances which focus on urban

living in smaller apartments. What’s more, your

favourite coffee now tastes even better thanks

to Miele! I’m certainly seeing a megatrend in the

kitchen: digitalisation is opening up fascinating

new possibilities to enhance inspiration and

enjoyment when cooking – and to this end, we

have some really exciting features in store!

What are these specifically?

Allow me to explain in a little more detail: since

the start of the coronavirus

pandemic, we have all been

spending more time at home

– and in front of the cooker.

Cooking with fresh ingredients

and trying out something new

is very popular. Consequently,

we have seen high demand for

the recipe database provided

in the Miele app. However, our

own abilities in the kitchen

do not always live up to our

expectations! So the new

assistance systems we are

offering for baking, frying and

cooking can provide users with

a helping hand and inspiration

here.

What are these systems?

Firstly, there is Smart Food ID. Here, the camera

in the Miele oven identifies which dish I have

placed in the oven, then all I have to do is confirm

this and it will be cooked fully automatically – with

extremely reliable results, naturally. The second

assistance system is called Smart Browning

Control. It is our programme for cooking the

perfect pizza and is also camera-assisted. The

oven monitors how the pizza browns to identify

when it is done.

DIGITALISATION

IS OPENING UP

FASCINATING

NEW

POSSIBILITIES

TO ENHANCE

INSPIRATION

AND

ENJOYMENT

WHEN COOKING

Finally, when frying with our new induction

hobs, we have developed CookAssist. With

assistance from our app, CookAssist guides

you through the cooking process step by step,

notifying you on your smartphone when the

pan has reached the right searing temperature,

for example. It also lets you know when the

steak needs to be turned in the pan so that

it is cooked exactly how you like it – whether

rare, medium or well done. In addition to steaks,

CookAssist currently also helps with 14 other

recipes, such as chicken curry, rösti or pancakes.

And more recipes are constantly being added,

also thanks to our cooperation with KptnCook,

a highly successful and innovative start-up in

the cookery sector.

Doesn’t this curb creativity

somewhat?

Absolutely not. Experienced

cooks can work with our

appliances exactly how

they wish and set precise

temperatures within one degree

of accuracy. And this isn’t just

the case for ovens and hobs – it

also applies to steam ovens and

other combination appliances

from Miele. However, for those

who are less experienced

in the kitchen or who don’t

want to have to deal with all

the fine details of cooking the

new assistance systems are a

huge help. Not forgetting the

inspiration factor: I’m much more likely to try out

a new recipe if I know that it’s going to turn out

well thanks to Miele. I’m sure that lots of people

will rediscover the joy of cooking through these

digital features.

How many recipes have the digital aids

mastered?

Altogether, several dozen at present. But this is

just the start. We are continually expanding the

recipes offered.

Dr Reinhard Zinkann

Executive Director and Co-Proprietor of Miele,

sees great potential in new assistance systems

for cooking

So would it be better if I waited until Miele has

made a larger stock of recipes available?

There’s no need to put off a purchase for this

reason. New applications and assistance

systems are added to our customers’ appliances

via online updates. In practical terms, this means

that a 60 cm Miele oven with camera purchased

in 2019 can be upgraded to include Smart Food

ID in the coming year, and will then have more

functions than when it was new. Our customers

will therefore always be able to benefit from

brand new developments

I EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW I

Challenges and

opportunities – the

roadmap for successful

business

Exclusive Interview - Jochen Pohle,

Head of Business Unit EK Home,

EK/servicegroup

The support of members during Covid-19 lockdown has

been one of the biggest challenges for EK/servicegroup. We

asked Jochen Pohle, Head of Business Unit EK Home how the

organisation tackled the issue.

Even in the run-up to the business

closures, we informed the dealers

about the immediate measures to

secure liquidity, such as talks with

banks and landlords, and provided

them with the corresponding

sample letters on topics such

as short-time work, exemption

regulations, immediate assistance,

tax hours, etc.

The suspension of invoice

settlements was then certainly one

of the most effective measures to

ease the tight liquidity situation. At

the same time, it was of course a

question of boosting e-business.

Within a very short time, we

installed online shops with the

dealers, pushed the connection to

our own and external marketplaces

such as Amazon and ran advertising

campaigns - especially on social

media. The message here: "We're

here for you online."

We then accompanied the

restart with an extensive range of

services, including health care. This

included the checklist for health

prevention as well as the supply of

breathing masks, cough protection

or disinfectant stands and the

expansion of contactless payment

options. And the video tutorial on

the production of self-made mouthnose

protection masks was not

missing either.

What will be the secrets to

successful business in the coming

months?

The most important thing is that in

the fight against the virus, we do

not allow ourselves to slacken our

distance and hygiene measures.

Furthermore, the current situation

shows us that we need to become

more flexible in many areas. What is

required is a better understanding

of customer needs and much faster

adaptation to changes in consumer

behaviour in times of crisis. To

achieve this, we need to get even

closer to our customers, especially

digitally. At the same time, it is

necessary to think and act much

more quickly when determining

assortments and delivery times.

Which product groups are moving

best at the moment?

In times of home office, the retreat

into the private sphere and the

questioning of basic attitudes to life,

products that make the home more

beautiful and more comfortable

are booming. In addition, there are

articles that support work from

your home desk. We are seeing

exceptionally good development

in kitchens and accessories. Large

and small electrical appliances are

also doing well.

What products do you expect to be

the “sweet spots” for Christmas?

In these times, people want more

than ever for themselves and their

loved ones to be doing well. We

therefore expect that there will

be a strong demand for wellness

articles and technical equipment

with the right mix of functionality

and emotional added value at

Christmas.

What are your thoughts about the

fact that IFA management has

decided to do a “real” show this

year, despite all the difficulties?

EXPANSION OF TP LINK'S

POPULAR DECO RANGE OF WIFI

MESH SETS

An update from TP Link's mesh system with Wi-Fi 6, the Deco

X96 2pack can cover an area of up to 560 sq m with Wi-Fi.

Deco X96 supports 6GHz band for lag-free data transfer with up

to 7800Mbit / s available for more than 200 devices. Through

the device's targeted increase in efficiency, it

IFA GLOBAL

PRESS CONFERENCE

Hall 1.2 / Stand 211

The rapid expansion of digital

sales and communication

channels is undoubtedly a positive

consequence of the crisis situation,

but despite the mask, the personal

conversation is irreplaceable.

Business between people requires

trust, emotions and, from time

to time, a shared laugh. Thus,

networking in "real life" remains the

key to successful entrepreneurship.

Of course, always taking all

necessary precautions

The Entrecôte is a restaurant and brasserie

right in the heart of Berlin, reflecting the spirit of Paris. While the “brasserie lifestyle

spirit” can normally only be found in Paris, loved by many poets, writers and artists,

The Entrecôte has brought this esprit to life in Berlin.

You will find in their great offer of typically French cuisine, dishes such as saumon

fumé, escargots, foie gras, huitres fines de Claire. Entrecôte has maintained its

independence, and has not copied the interiors of its Parisian cousins. There is no

fake Art Deco here, the visitor is perfectly aware of being in Berlin. The modern and

elegant but very comfortable interior is a priority of the management. This does not

in the least impair the lifestyle, quite the opposite.This is what makes the Entrecôte so
