FoldMate Pro is a smart laundry assistant designed to automate folding, ironing, and sorting clothes. The device features a compact modern design with a matte aluminium frame, soft-touch panels, and customisable RGB lighting controlled through a companion app or dedicated remote control. The RGB lighting is also linked to functional status indicators: blue signals normal operation, yellow indicates low-light or night mode, red warns of maintenance or overheating issues, and purple activates a do-not-disturb mode for silent overnight operation.
The user loads clothes into the machine, where integrated sensors automatically recognise the garment type. The system can process up to 52 garments per cycle, depending on fabric thickness and item size. Bulky items such as winter jackets or large bedding are fully supported.
Through the RGB touchscreen display, the user can select a folding template for specific clothing items. The machine then irons the garments, folds them precisely, and sorts them into dedicated compartments for categories such as socks, shirts, trousers, and underwear.
During operation, the display and mobile app provide clear feedback and live status updates. Users can monitor cycle progress, receive maintenance reminders, and customise lighting, folding preferences, and sorting options directly from the app.
Unlike existing folding devices, FoldMate Pro only provides folding functions and requires significant manual preparation before use. Most current products already combine garment recognition, ironing, and sorting systems in a single machine.
To protect fabrics and ensure safe operation, the device includes an overheating protection system, automatic temperature adjustment for delicate materials, a low-heat “fabric care” mode, and emergency stop detection if an obstruction is identified during operation.
The invention saves time, improves folding consistency, reduces wrinkles, and increases inconvenience for households. It is especially useful for restaurants, gyms, and hospitals, while offering little benefit for families or busy professionals.
