Tine adjustment and adaptable wash cycle control

A system for adapting a wash cycle of a dishwashing machine, comprising:

• a sensor unit configured to gather sensor information from one or more sensors of the dishwashing machine, wherein the sensor information gathered includes data identifying one or more adjustments to a rack layout of a dish rack of the dishwashing machine, the one or more sensors configured to detect a position of a slide adjuster of the dish rack, the slide adjuster coupled to an adjustable member of the dish rack, the adjustable member comprising an adjustable tine set, and the slide adjuster slidable along a portion of the dish rack to rotate the adjustable member to adjust the rack layout of the dish rack;
• a load configuration unit configured to determine a load configuration for the dish rack based on the sensor information gathered, wherein the load configuration determined identifies one or more types of content loaded onto the dish rack;
• and
• a wash cycle unit configured to adapt a wash cycle for washing the content loaded onto the dish rack based on the load configuration determined.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having program code embodied therewith, the program code including instructions executable by a computer to perform a method comprising:

• gathering sensor information from one or more sensors of a dishwashing machine, wherein the sensor information gathered includes data identifying one or more adjustments to a rack layout of a dish rack of the dishwashing machine, the one or more sensors configured to detect a position of a slide adjuster of the dish rack, the slide adjuster coupled to an adjustable member of the dish rack, the adjustable member comprising an adjustable tine set, and the slide adjuster slidable along a portion of the dish rack to rotate the adjustable member to adjust the rack layout of the dish rack;
• determining a load configuration for the dish rack based on the sensor information gathered, wherein the load configuration determined identifies one or more types of content loaded onto the dish rack;
• and
• adapting a wash cycle for washing the content loaded onto the dish rack based on the load configuration determined.

A dishwashing apparatus, comprising:

• a dish rack including an adjustable tine set configured to adjust a rack layout of the dish rack;
• one or more sensors configured to capture sensor information including data identifying one or more adjustments to the rack layout of the dish rack, the one or more sensors further configured to detect a position of a slide adjuster coupled to the adjustable tine set, and the slide adjuster slidable along a portion of the dish rack to rotate the adjustable tine set;
• a load configuration unit configured to determine a load configuration for the dish rack based on the sensor information captured, wherein the load configuration determined identifies one or more types of content loaded onto the dish rack;
• and
• a wash cycle unit configured to adapt a wash cycle for washing the content loaded onto the dish rack based on the load configuration determined.

A dishwashing apparatus, comprising:

• a dish rack including a dish rack frame with a customizable rack layout;
• one or more rack layout adjustment devices facilitating one or more manual adjustments to the rack layout;
• and
• at least one sensor device configured to capture sensor data identifying one or more manual adjustments to the rack layout, wherein each sensor device is positioned within proximity of a rack layout adjustment device, the sensor device further configured to detect a position of a slide adjuster of the rack layout adjustment device, the slide adjuster coupled to an adjustable member of the dish rack, the adjustable member comprising an adjustable tine set, and the slide adjuster slidable along a portion of the dish rack frame to rotate the adjustable member to adjust the rack layout.
