Panasonic will exhibit its latest products and technologies at IFA (Internationale Funkausstellung) 2016, happening in Berlin from September 2 until 7. Under the theme "A Better Life, A Better World," the Panasonic booth will highlight lifestyle solutions for the future at IFA, one of the biggest trade shows for consumer electronics and home appliances in the world. Panasonic is exhibiting a wide range of products, from audio-visual equipment to home appliances and beauty appliances to feature "the lifestyles we all desire".

A major attraction at Panasonic’s booth located in Hall 5.2, is the interactive presentation of its first smart city project in Germany, which will include the smart energy, smart mobility, smart security, smart health, and smart citizenship solutions. Panasonic recently announced that it will be playing a key role in setting up the smart residential project “Future Living Berlin” in the German capital’s Adlershof district.

The company will support the Berliner Philharmoniker’s internet video platform, the Digital Concert Hall (DCH). BPH will collaborate with Technics, the high-end audio brand of Panasonic. Some of the cutting-edge technologies by Technics will be featured with the latest audio-visual technologies at IFA.

Panasonic LIVE@IFA2016 will also feature live video feed of the event at the venue.
Mr. Anthony Peter, Director of Corporate Communications and Operations Division PMMAF, commented, “IFA2016, in Berlin, provides Panasonic a huge platform to display our top-end technologies from the very niche Technics for the discerning music aficionados to daily use ‎products that are designed to bring significant lifestyle difference to our customers embodying our ethos of a 'better life, a better world'. The ‘Future Living Berlin' smart city will be a further step in fulfilling such objectives.”




Main Exhibits in the Panasonic Booth

Future Lifestyle:
Lifestyle Showcase: Better Living Tomorrow - Future Lifestyle with Connected Appliances

With its advanced appliances connected to a network, Panasonic will create a multipurpose
living area by fusing the kitchen and living and dining rooms into one where the family and
friends can congregate and share time together, yet each one can have enough space to
spend one’s time in one’s own way. As an example of “the lifestyle we all desire” technically
achievable within the next three to five years, Panasonic presents an enriched lifestyle as
envisaged by sharing the space with loved and special ones.

Multipurpose space allowing to share experiences - This corner will feature a simple, interactive, and harmonious living environment in a manner that reflects personal preferences in daily life. The spatial environment can be changed depending on personal behaviour to ensure comfort and to produce unexpected excitement anywhere.

  • In/visible library, glass curtain
Transparent displays are blended into the home’s interior - invisible as they are built into
cupboard doors or sliding doors. The displays show images only when necessary.

  • Lighting and audio-visual equipment
Lighting and sound change in response to personal movement. The equipment effectively
changes the atmosphere depending on the situation.

Equipment and services that reflect personal preferences and increase satisfaction - This corner will feature a living environment that enables access to appropriate information and offers support on various occasions in daily life. The cooking experience helps to enjoy meals and conversation.

  • Sake & wine cellar
This cellar keeps different types of alcoholic beverages, such as sake and wine, at optimal
temperature and humidity. A transparent display is used as the door to show a variety of information such as information about the drinks inside and recipes of dishes that go well with them.

  • Range hoods equipped with a camera
Panasonic’s range hoods achieve accurate sensing of cooking conditions. The temperature of induction hobs is properly controlled to get professional-level cooking at home. The progress of cooking can also be checked.


  • New Concept Built-in Cooker
Panasonic’s new cooker is based on a concept totally different from that of induction hobs and griddles. It is also built into a table. The operation is simple—put ingredients on a dish and set it on the cooker. No pot or frying pan is required because the cooker heats only the
ingredients. The cooker presents a new cooking experience that keeps freshly cooked dishes hot and tasty until the end of a meal.

  • Cloud services
The cloud services are designed to present recipes for increasing the joy of cooking and
making up variations. Working in tandem with a range hood equipped with a camera, the
cloud services enable connected cooking appliances to share information and control the
temperature, so that multiple dishes can be completed simultaneously. Great food makes your party with special ones even more special.

  • All in One Laundry
This laundry machine does a series of time-consuming laundry chores, from washing, drying
and folding, to storage, based on image analysis and robotics technologies. This allows for
more leisure time.

  • Home controller
The home controller is designed to control all home appliances, including lighting, and provide helpful information. For example, the controller also detects and lets users know what is left in the refrigerator. It is connected to the cloud via a home server to support various aspects of daily life.
