The Satin Hair 7 SensoCare Styler from Braun is a straightener that automatically adjusts its temperature during use to protect hair against heat damage. With the risk of damage eliminated, healthy-looking, shiny hair can be crafted into long-lasting hairstyles. Helbling developed the innovative hardware and software for this straightener. The collaboration began during the ongoing prototype phase. Helbling was to assume full responsibility for the electronics project until it was ready for series production. Part of the task also included providing ongoing support during the entire product lifecycle. Helbling's development team was able to draw on a wealth of experience for this project, specifically in the area of heating systems featuring microprocessors and embedded software to achieve precise temperature control.
