Advanced Energy, a developer of highly engineered, precision power conversion, measurement and control solutions, has announced a joint initiative with distribution partner Sager Electronics that will speed the delivery of fully configured, modular power supplies for design and testing.
Exclusive to Advanced Energy, the innovative 3x5 Program enables faster design and application prototyping by allowing customers to order up to three configured power supplies guaranteed for delivery in no more than five days.
“Advanced Energy and Sager have worked together for many years, and this is an extension of that
Source: Advanced Energy and Sager Electronics collaboration,” said Mark Adams, Advanced Energy’s director, global distribution. “Even in a soft market, lead times are very important when it comes to receiving a solution in the engineering lab to begin testing. By shortening that lead time to just five days for up to three configured PSUs, we can accelerate our mutual customers’ design and testing process and reduce their overall time-to-market.”
Joe Norton, supplier marketing and product manager — power, Sager Electronics, added: "Sager holds the leading inventory position in North America on Advanced Energy’s extensive portfolio of standard and configurable power supplies. The ability to pull Advanced Energy inventory directly from stock to assemble and ship a modular solution in a matter of days is a difference-maker for customers. Our continued investment in Advanced Energy’s world-class solutions combined with the new 3x5 program ensures our customers receive the best offering, service, and support for all their design requirements.”
The 3x5 Program will initially cover Advanced Energy’s Artesyn family of modular power supplies, which offer many configurable features, eliminating the need for custom design. The companies plan to extend the program to cover the Excelsys range of power supplies next.
