Miele's business unit laundry optimizes the
production of washing machines with OPC UA
Miele is the world’s leading supplier of premium domestic appliances. These include the product segments cooking, baking, steam cooking, refrigeration and freezing, coffee preparation, dishwashing, laundry and floorcare.
