MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Sept. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- Based on its recent
analysis of the global DIN Rail power supplies market, Frost & Sullivan
presents PULS Power (PULS) with the 2008 Global Frost & Sullivan Green
Excellence Award in Product Innovation for the company's pioneering efforts to
advance its product range, the DIMENSION series, during 2007-2008. Capable of
generating significant environmental benefits, the product's unmatched design
and energy efficiency have enabled widespread acceptance in the market within
a short time after its launch.
PULS is one of the first in the industry to have incorporated
environmental conservation and sustainability efforts into its business model.
The company has focused on developing energy-efficient products to enhance the
performance and operating life of power units by eliminating heat from the
control systems of the power supply.
"Over the years, PULS' ingenious efforts in developing energy-efficient
products have pioneered the industry standards," explains Frost & Sullivan
Industry Analyst Anu Elizabeth Cherian. "The launch of its upgraded product
line DIMENSION in 2007-08, aimed at reducing environmental impact and
conserving energy, reinforced the company's capability to address changing
environmental needs and priorities."
The new DIMENSION range of products generates minimal heat within the
power supply, thereby guaranteeing increased operating life (over 10 years)
and performance of the entire power supply unit. This feature ensures that the
products are sustainable in the long term. End-users can use this product
range for 10 to 20 years and hence, can operate their businesses in an
energy-saving mode without wasting energy or heat in the long run.
Further, the highly compact products (especially the C and Q series) offer
55 percent reduced space requirements for end-users, compared to competing
products in the market. This enables end-users to use a smaller enclosure to
fit power supply units, which in turn requires less energy and heightens
efficiency. Additionally, compactness reduces customers' freight costs by
half. The DIN Rail power supplies are also designed to ensure greater
reliability and last longer than competing products. As PULS' products last
2-3 times longer, this helps reduce frequent addition of wastes to the
environment during disposal.
Another competitive edge of the new DIMENSION range is its unsurpassed
energy efficiency ranging from 92 percent to 96.5 percent. This is considered
the maximum level in the industry. PULS is the first company in the DIN Rail
power supply market to introduce a microprocessor to control the operation of
the power supply. Its competitors are presently striving to follow the trend
initiated by PULS in making their products more energy efficient and compact
in size.
PULS has further demonstrated its obligatory responsibility towards the
environment by constructing one of the greenest manufacturing plants in the
world in 2007. The innovative design of its production facility in the Czech
Republic ensures that there is no waste of heat energy generated from the
power supply units. The excess heat is effectively utilized to heat water in
the production plant during winters. The structure is designed to receive
optimal natural light. Exterior jalousies act as sunshades and eliminate the
need for air-conditioning. The concrete materials of the building act as an
absorber of thermal energy. The use of burn-in-cabinets with integrated
energy-recovering systems reduces energy usage by 84 percent, another
significant feature among several other energy conserving methods.
PULS' environment-centric business approach can also be upheld by the
accomplishment of its 24V, 20A power supply device, which saves 250 kilograms
of carbon dioxide emitted into the atmosphere every year. With this highly
efficient product, the company has successfully addressed global issues on
climate change and greenhouse gas emissions.
"PULS has gained an advantage in niche markets, such as solar and wind
power, which are focused on the green aspects of the environment," notes
Cherian. "These markets themselves strive to promote environmental
sustainability and green products from PULS fulfill the need for eco-friendly
solutions that aid in energy conservation."
Overall, PULS has successfully formulated and implemented a long-term
business commitment to ensure energy usage in an optimal manner. The company
has helped in reducing the environmental burden through its products and
production processes. This environment-focused business approach has placed
PULS Power as an industry leader in adopting a greener path to business and
set the essential guidelines for energy conservation. Its technologically
advanced family of power supplies, the DIMENSION line, has outperformed all
competing products in the market in terms of energy efficiency and waste
disposal.
These factors clearly indicate the competitive edge the company has
exhibited over other participants in the market, thereby making PULS the
worthy recipient of the 2008 Frost & Sullivan Award for Green Excellence in
product innovation in the global DIN Rail power supplies market.
Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents this award to the company that has
demonstrated unique product design and development initiatives, which is
aligned with a sustainable and environmentally conscious objective within its
industry sector. The award signifies the company's identification of a unique
and revolutionary solution with significant environmental benefits, while
