Since the 1988 Calgary Winter Olympics, Panasonic has continuously provided the latest equipment, advanced technology, and quality service to the Olympic Games. For the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics and Paralympics, Panasonic actively proposed solutions for special situations such as the epidemic to create a warm and comfortable Olympic Village. Panasonic will provide the Beijing Olympic Village with ziaino spatial sterilization and deodorization machines with hypochlorous acid immersion sterilization technology, Panasonic IoT smart food collection cabinets, commercial kitchen refrigerators for restaurants, washing machines, dryers, and a large number of heaters and other home appliances to provide athletes from all over the world with a safe and comfortable living and dining environment.

Strong Epidemic Prevention: Protecting the Beijing Winter Olympics

　　In the Beijing Winter Olympics, epidemic prevention is particularly important. It requires controlling the activity range of participants, separating flow lines, implementing protective measures, and monitoring daily health status. Panasonic provided the ziaino spatial sterilization and deodorization machines with hypochlorous acid immersion sterilization technology for this Winter Olympics. They were used for space purification in the athletes' restaurants in the Beijing, Yanqing, and Zhangjiakou Olympic Villages, providing a safe and comfortable working and living space for athletes and media reporters from home and abroad. The working principle of the Panasonic ziaino spatial sterilization and deodorization machine is to generate hypochlorous acid by electrolyzing salt water. When polluted air contacts the filter net soaked in hypochlorous acid solution, it performs sterilization and deodorization through gas-liquid contact, effectively solving indoor air problems with new technologies and methods.

Warm Care: Providing High-Quality Catering Services

　　In terms of catering, to ensure the dietary health of athletes during the games, Panasonic provided dozens of Panasonic kitchen refrigerators to maintain food freshness and quality. Panasonic kitchen refrigerators combine environmental protection (cyclopentane foaming, environmentally friendly refrigerants), energy saving, and high refrigeration performance. While providing cold storage and freezing space for food preservation, they also practice the sustainable development concept of the Beijing Winter Olympics.

　　In addition, Panasonic also placed IoT smart food collection cabinets in the athletes' restaurant. These cabinets are used for contactless interaction between the restaurant kitchen and diners. Through online ordering and cabinet pickup, they reduce queues and crowd gatherings, making the process safer, more convenient, and hygienic. This product has heating, insulation, and refrigeration functions to meet various needs, maximizing the deliciousness and nutrition of food and beverages. A mini-program can be customized according to restaurant operational needs, allowing users to remotely order and pick up at the cabinet with one click. The restaurant can predict the number of takeout meals in advance and prepare accordingly, contributing to epidemic prevention, safe event organization, and optimization of catering operational efficiency.

High-Quality Depth: Creating a Comfortable Living Environment

　　To provide athletes from around the world with a comfortable and convenient life, Panasonic provided a large number of washing machines and dryers to the Olympic Village's self-service laundry center, providing athletes with convenient and reassuring laundry and drying services. Panasonic has been involved in the healthy washing and care field for many years. The high-end L-series washing machines provided to the Olympic Village this time are equipped with Panasonic's Ag+ photodynamic silver double sterilization technology, which not only cleans clothes but also sterilizes them without damaging the fiber structure, maintaining the original elasticity of the fibers. Paired with the washing machine is a dryer equipped with a heat pump drying function. Heat exchange generates heat without the need for heating, and it uses a cyclical process. It also has a TRON three-system drying function, precisely controlling clothing care and color protection, saving time, and providing athletes with intimate care during the games.

　　In the working areas of various venues and the residential areas of the Olympic Village, Panasonic provided a large number of refrigerators, coffee machines, electric kettles, microwave ovens, electric oil radiators, electric heaters, and other home appliances to provide athletes with a home-like living environment. Fourteen years after contributing to the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Panasonic once again provided services for the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics and Paralympics, supporting the successful holding of the event and hoping to protect the athletes.
