myenergi is once again innovating its product lineup in response to the global chip shortage

The global chip shortage continues to have a negative impact on the technology industry, prompting myenergi to redesign its devices in response to the crisis.
 
Various media outlets are warning of shortages of products and materials, largely caused by the global chip shortage. This shortage began last year as a result of a combination of events, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Manufacturers around the world have been affected, with Apple, Samsung, and Tesla being just a few of the big names that have struggled with the shortage. Now, myenergi had to find a solution to the problem, and the British manufacturer decided to complete a major product redesign project to address the shortage.
Lead times for some microprocessors are now more than 52 weeks, which was a major problem for myenergi, as it continues to experience explosive growth.
To future-proof the company and ensure that long-term demand does not exceed supply, myenergi’s team of engineers has addressed the looming supply issue and worked around the clock to completely redesign its product lineup. The updated designs run on a new, more powerful microprocessor that is not affected by the silicon shortage.

In addition to increased production of myenergi’s zappi, eddi, harvi, and hub products, the more powerful microprocessor will enable additional features over time, giving customers more control over their energy consumption at home.
Dr. Chris Horne, Chief Technology Officer at myenergi, says: “The global silicon shortage has caused problems for numerous industries worldwide, with increasingly long lead times for critical microchips, leading to halted auto production, shortages of consumer goods, and massive price increases for computer components, to name just a few.”
 
“As a key component of our products, we had built up inventory to offset the shortage and support our plans to increase production, but we knew this issue would persist in the near future. In light of this, we acted quickly to overhaul our operating platform and complete the project in just three months. We are now in a strong position to meet the growing demand for our range of energy-efficient management products, which continues to rise as the global push toward sustainability and net-zero emissions gains momentum.”
 
Jordan Brompton, co-founder and CMO of myenergi, added: “We have effectively innovated our way out of a challenging situation and demonstrated the pace and flexibility needed to excel in today’s rapidly evolving technology landscape. Thanks to the dedication of our R&D department, every product in our lineup has been redesigned to ensure compatibility with a new, more powerful, and less commonly used type of microchip, enabling our products to do even more than before while offering a whole range of additional features and customer benefits.”

About myenergi Benelux

 
Since mid-2020, myenergi has been represented in the Benelux with its own office in Maastricht, from which it handles distribution, service, and support. Partly due to Brexit, this structure has proven ideal for enabling the brand to experience the same growth in the Benelux without having to compromise on delivery times or customer satisfaction. Outside the Benelux, there are also branch offices in Germany (serving the DACH countries), Ireland, and Australia.
