Repairing washing machines with an app
One of the activities of De Kringwinkel Hageland is repairing washing machines and then reselling them. Over the course of 2021, this organisation tested an app developed by the Faculty of Engineering at KU Leuven. The software in the app automatically identified the model of the machine and maintained a database of the most common defects, along with their solutions.
