Global Energy Innovations (GEI) has signed a Master
Distributor partnership agreement with Jasco to deliver GEI’s precision battery
testing, monitoring and conditioning equipment and software to sub-Saharan
Africa. The product offering includes the flagship EC-Series Handheld
ElectroChemical Battery Analyser as well as a cloud-based, Continuous Monitoring
(CM) solution, enabling organisations to become more proactive with regard to
their battery maintenance.
Kurt Salloux, CEO of GEI says, “Precision
battery testing is becoming an essential component of technology
infrastructure. In the past, battery maintenance and replacement have typically
been reactive processes that only take place once a failure has occurred. This
can compromise the integrity of power management solutions. GEI offers a more
proactive approach, by determining when batteries are deteriorating, why they
are deteriorating and make recommendations. Our solutions are ideal for use in
data centres as well as the power and utility sector, mission critical
operations such as healthcare, and the telecommunications industry where mobile
communication relies on UPS power in times of utility failures or outages. GEI
offers unique, multi-frequency battery analysis technology that detects not
only electrical parameters of failure, but also chemical issues such as
sulfation build-up and battery dry out.”
“Jasco is the ideal partner to help us extend
our footprint further into sub-Sahara Africa, as it not only has the right
accreditations and critical mass, it also brings to the table a dynamic sales
force and excellent support structures, as well as a complementary product
offering.”
Pete da Silva, CEO of Jasco says, “This
partnership with GEI will allow us to extend our value offering to include
proactive battery monitoring with all our solutions. Our companies are aligned
with regards to both focusing on innovative solutions and feature extensive
experience in product and solution integration. Furthermore, the solutions from
GEI fit perfectly with our current offering, enabling our customers to manage
their batteries as an asset and mitigate the risk of failure. Jasco will
initially focus on taking these solutions to market in the data centre space as
well as utilities and telecoms, since these are the markets within sub-Sahara
Africa that have a critical requirement for continuous uptime.”
