Innovative Solutions for Power Supply Delivery
In today's fast-paced technology landscape, speed of delivery is paramount for engineers and designers. Advanced Energy (Nasdaq: AEIS), a leader in precision power conversion, measurement, and control solutions, has announced an exciting new initiative aimed at significantly improving the delivery of their modular power supplies. Partnering with Sager Electronics, a trusted distribution partner, they are set to enhance capabilities for design and testing with their unique program.
Introducing the '3x5 Program'
At the heart of this initiative is the groundbreaking '3x5 Program'. This program allows customers to order up to three configured power supplies, which Advanced Energy guarantees will be delivered in five days or less. This is a significant reduction in lead time, providing engineers with the flexibility to prototype quickly and efficiently. The need for such initiatives is underscored by the competitive pressures in various sectors where time-to-market can make or break a product.
Benefits of the 3x5 Program
Mark Adams, Advanced Energy’s director of Global Distribution, highlighted the importance of lead times in engineering. By shrinking the delivery window to just five days, the 3x5 Program allows customers to begin testing far earlier than traditional timelines permitted. This acceleration means that companies can iterate on their designs and innovations without the delays that often hinder progress.
Customer-Centric Approach
According to Joe Norton, Supplier Marketing and Product Manager at Sager Electronics, their leading inventory position for Advanced Energy's power supplies is a game-changer for customers. They can quickly assemble and ship modular solutions from stock, ensuring that clients receive their products with minimal waiting time. With the 3x5 Program in place, customers can expect exemplary service and support that meets their evolving needs.
Modular Power Supplies for Versatile Applications
The program initially focuses on Advanced Energy’s Artesyn family of modular power supplies. Known for their configurability, these power supplies minimize the requirement for custom designs, making them ideal for a variety of applications. The flexibility and speed offered by the program pave the way for a host of potential advancements in testing scenarios across industries.
Expanding the Offering
Looking forward, the companies are set to extend the 3x5 Program to include the Excelsys range of power supplies. By continually enhancing their offerings, Advanced Energy and Sager Electronics are ensuring that customers can access cutting-edge technologies that meet the demands of complex applications.
