Abstract

We are developing and selling the products not only “kind to environment and the family budget” but also “kind to a consumer” under the Universal Design (UD) concept. In such a background, we worked on automation of filter cleaning and developed an air-conditioner with the world's first “Filter Cleaning Robot”, which has been highly evaluated in the market. As further evolution of UD, we have newly developed “an energy saving, powerful, and maintenance free air-conditioner clean for ten years” by combining a newly developed air cleaning unit, a new deodorization filter, and an antibacterial heat exchanger with the “Filter Cleaning Robot”, which frees us from a conventional maintenance.
