Future i samarbejde med EnOcean

Future skal bane vejen for EnOceans energy-harvesting baserede produkter i nye markeder og applikationer (in english).

Reinforcing the globalisation of its business, EnOcean has entered into a strategic relationship with Future Energy Solutions (FES), a division of Future Electronics. EnOcean, the inventor of patented, self-powered wireless technology selected FES as its distribution partner to open new markets for its energy harvesting wireless sensor solutions. The partnership will add EnOcean’s products to FES’s growing portfolio of smart metering, solar, home area network, and energy harvesting solutions. The agreement covers key geographical markets in Europe, North and South America as well as Asia.

EnOcean’s energy harvesting wireless modules, software, system IP and development kits provide a platform for designers to build sensor networks that are free of batteries or power cabling and deliver advantages such as enhanced environmental performance, low installation and maintenance costs, simplified network planning and easy scalability. The complete EnOcean portfolio covers transmitters, receivers, transceivers, energy harvesters, accessories and development kits for designing maintenance-free wireless solutions.

With the new partnership, OEMs will benefit from the local support and design-in expertise of FES to enable them to rapidly develop EnOcean based products. Furthermore FES’s global logistics footprint will help manufacturers minimise supply chain costs and streamline component logistics regardless of the factory location.

Andreas Schneider, Chief Marketing Officer and Co-Founder of EnOcean, says:
- FES enables us to rapidly expand our market presence, scaling for global growth. Future’s robust infrastructure will enable regional demands to be fulfilled rapidly, while its specialised channels increase our reach into new markets. Future is one of the few larger distributors that understands the value of design-in support, and is resourced to help customers achieve successful product development.

- Energy management and energy harvesting are key focuses for our Future Energy Solutions team and EnOcean is also a perfect fit for smart homes or smart grid solutions. In addition, our RF Solutions team provides extra wireless design expertise to support our customers integrating EnOcean solutions into their latest products, says Richard Ankcorn, Strategic Business Manager for Future Energy Solutions.
