New devices from Bosch, KYOCERA, and Siemens are now available with Dash Replenishment

Beko, Candy, Haier, Hoover, illy, Sharp and Toshiba will have smart products with automatic reordering capabilities available soon in the UK

LUXEMBOURG—25 July, 2018 —Amazon today announces new devices now available for customers to purchase that utilise Dash Replenishment. Devices from Bosch, KYOCERA, and Siemens have integrated Dash Replenishment into their connected devices to automatically reorder consumables when supplies run low. Additionally, Amazon announces several brands that will have connected devices launching soon with Dash Replenishment including new device categories like TV remotes and coffee machines. New brands include Beko, Candy, Haier, Hoover, illy, Sharp and Toshiba.

Dash Replenishment enables connected devices to measure supply consumption through a variety of sensors, including voltage, pressure, volume, capacity, and other sensor arrays. The measurement then signals an automatic reorder of supplies before customers run out. For example, a Dash Replenishment-enabled washing machine can automatically reorder detergent, or a smart printer can automatically reorder ink when it senses it’s about to run out.

“With Dash Replenishment we’re working to make the process of shopping for everyday consumables completely disappear, because we’ve all felt the frustration of running out of something we frequently use,” said Eric Saarnio, Head of Amazon Devices EU. “Dash Replenishment allows manufacturers to add even more convenience to connected products, enabling a device to automatically reorder so a customer never has to worry about running out of what they need.”

New Dash Replenishment-integrated products are now available for customers to purchase. New Dash Replenishment-enabled dishwashers are available from leading brands Bosch and Siemens, which will automatically reorder dishwasher detergent. Device models include Bosch Series 6 and Series 8 dishwashers as well as Siemens iQ500 and iQ700 dishwashers. For more information, visit the Home Connect website.

“We’re always looking for new ways to add convenience to our customers’ lives and one way we’re doing that is by adding Dash Replenishment to a number of our leading dishwashers under our Bosch and Siemens brands,” said Andrew Jones, Marketing Director, BSH Home Appliances Limited. “By integrating Dash Replenishment into our Home Connect mobile app, owners of our range of wifi-enabled, connected dishwashers can choose to automate re-ordering detergent so running out becomes a thing of the past and there's less shopping to carry home.”

KYOCERA printers are now available with Dash Replenishment and will automatically reorder ink and toner when running low. For a look at the different printer models that are offering the technology, visit the website.

“We’ve all experienced the pain of going to print an important document like a boarding pass before a flight only to find that you’re low on ink,” said Vindhesh Kumar, Senior Manager for Strategy and Business Development, KYOCERA Document Solutions Europe B.V. “By integrating Dash Replenishment into our KYOCERA printers, our customers never have to worry about streaky pages. We are excited to integrate this innovative technology into our products to give peace of mind to our customers that their documents and photos will always look their best.”

Additionally, new device makers joining the Dash Replenishment programme include a number of leading brands:

Toshiba TV remote controls will be the first brand in the UK to offer automatic re-ordering of batteries.

“It seems the only time we think about replacing household essentials like batteries is the moment a device stops working,” said Hakan Kutlu, Vice President of Marketing and Product Management, Vestel. “With the integration of Dash Replenishment into Toshiba TV remotes, our customers will avoid that dreadful moment by having batteries automatically reordered for them before their remote stops working.”

Candy, Haier, Hoover and Sharp are developing washing machines to help automatically re-order laundry detergent and fabric softener.

“Based on our research, forgetting to restock laundry detergent and softeners causes frustration for our consumers,” said Yannick Fierling, CEO, Haier Europe. “Now this problem is solved - thanks to the integration of Amazon Dash Replenishment in Haier connected washing machines our users can be certain to have the right supply of consumables fully automated.”

illy is developing espresso and coffee machines to easily reorder capsules.

“Our new illy Y5 system offers coffee connoisseurs a custom-tailored coffee and espresso experience without the worry of ever running out,” said Massimiliano Pogliani, CEO of illycaffè. “We’re incredibly excited to deliver the first capsule coffee machine with Dash Replenishment integration, which automatically reorders capsules, ensuring the unique illy blend made of 9 of the world’s best selection of Arabica, is on-hand whenever it’s needed.”

Beko, Candy and Hoover are developing dishwashers to automatically re-order dishwasher tablets and rinse aid.

“At Beko, we are committed to making our customers’ lives easier. Thanks to our AutoDosing technology, customers no longer need to measure how much dishwashing liquid is required, as the technology automatically chooses the right amount for the selected program,” says Hakan Bulgurlu, CEO of Beko’s parent company Arçelik. “Combined with Amazon Dash Replenishment, which enables Beko dishwashers to automatically reorder detergent, rinse aid and salt supplies, customers will never again have to concern themselves with shopping everyday consumables.”
