ISH 2023 — A new era of connectivity

Network as a state of mind: in Frankfurt, LAUFEN connects to the complete bathroom and beyond.

But even beyond data, interaction is the central idea of our time.

Excellent solutions require well-organized interdisciplinary teams and the networking of distributed knowledge and resources. Quality arises in the dialogue between design and perfect execution. And it takes interaction among all components to create an impressive bathroom collection.

LAUFEN’s story of interconnectivity is about smart services, matching components, freedom of choice and protecting our planet.

Water gets smart with LAUFEN

Digital benefits for water: In public buildings, water management must be simple, smart and efficient, and deliver convenience and save time, costs, water and energy. LAUFEN Smart is the most advanced and proven bathroom solution that digitizes and simplifies water management in public buildings by interconnecting faucets, urinals and shower controls with the intuitive LAUFEN Smart Control App. Alternatively, the control can be integrated into the building management system.

As already proven in many applications, the intelligent monitoring of the connected systems helps to detect malfunctions or downtimes immediately. All settings can be simply and optimally adjusted for each faucet or flush by app, or via the dashboard without requiring a person to be on site. That saves maintenance resources and significantly reduces water consumption.

Energy-saving, hygienic, efficient, safe

In addition to these clear economic and environmental advantages, LAUFEN Smart ensures safety. Regular automatic hygienic flushing and thermal disinfection ensure maximum cleanliness and effectively prevent Legionella formation.

All settings are logged reliably and are available as a data package to facility managers and property owners.

Connected components: the idea of the complete bathroom

The code of interaction also applies to our products themselves. As a supplier of the complete bathroom with ceramics, bathtubs and shower trays, matching faucets and furniture, we focus strongly on the interchangeability of components.

Our way of working gives you the freedom and flexibility to design a stylish bathroom that reflects your personal preferences.

Connectivity behind the wall

LAUFEN extends the concept of connected objects to the assembly and installation behind the wall. On the one hand, the new INEO installation system provides a proven framework for the quick and safe installation of washbasins, toilets and bidets. On the other hand, wall-hung toilets are now available with the new EasyFit 2.0, which further simplifies installation.

Network as a state of mind

At LAUFEN, the idea of connectivity has long gone beyond a network and stands for openness in general and for a commitment to dialog and close networking with our partners, customers and especially with the designers of our products and collections.

This state of mind extends to our responsibility for the environment, as shown by our approach to the circular economy in the revolutionary LAUFEN urine-separating toilet save!

Connectivity as a culture:

connected to water
connected to body
connected to life
