GERMANTOWN, Wis. – Components supplier Raffel Systems was named a Best of BDNY finalist for its Tranquilcharge Technology at the BDNY Product Design Competition.
It was Raffel’s first time exhibiting at the Nov. 8-9 BDNY show in New York City. BDNY is a leading trade fair and conference for hospitality’s boutique and lifestyle segment, serving interior design professionals in the United States, Canada and Europe.
The Best of BDNY Product Design Competition recognizes designers and manufacturers that demonstrate functional and aesthetic progress and advanced innovation. Raffel Systems, a global producer of electronic controls for furniture, cinema seating, bedding and industrial processes, introduced Tranquilcharge in 2018.
The patented Tranquilcharge Technology is standard on a variety of Raffel Systems’ control panels that include a USB port. With Tranquilcharge Technology, USB ports don’t consume any power until a device is plugged in. This saves money by reducing energy consumption, which is especially important to the hospitality industry as it aims to be environmentally conscious. In addition, devices charge significantly faster in USB ports utilizing Tranquilcharge Technology.
“We are proud of this prestigious recognition, which demonstrates our commitment to finding innovative solutions to meet customer demands,” said John Dudash, CEO of Raffel Systems, in a release. “Our Tranquilcharge Technology sets us and our state-of-the-art electronics apart in the marketplace, and we appreciate being recognized for this visionary product.”
Raffel Systems technology can be found in products made by many of the worlds’ largest producers of home furnishings in case pieces and upholstery. Engineers based in Wisconsin work directly with customers to produce products that seamlessly integrate with furniture.
