Most powerful, most beautiful. And cheapest BUS solution in the world

Forgive me, but this time I have to brag. We have invented, and have just launched, a truly revolutionary thing that will not only save space in the switchboard, but above all your money.

The best DIN rail ever.

If you are not an expert in electricity or wiring, you may not appreciate it that much (sorry!), but it is a really fundamental change in the concept of "backend in a switchboard".

We were able to squeeze 32 - 64 units into only ten modules (calculate 1 module = 17.5 mm on a DIN rail). In this dimension, you get not only a central unit, which is also a gateway and a firewall, which is also a "room controller". It includes 8x output relays, 6x digital or temperature inputs, 2x analog outputs and DALI for controlling 16x ballasts-lighting circuits.

This setup is complemented by a power supply with a bus separator. All together and in one. Of course, you have the option to expand up to 2x 32 units per DIN or controls and buttons.

And we created the most powerful, the most beautiful and at the same time the cheapest BUS solution in the world.

For me it is important in a number of ways.

1. We still feel we are developers first and producers second. It's a challenging mission because it costs us enormous resources to develop that many other companies could barely afford. But for me, it's a matter of the heart because I founded the company with the very idea of thinking "outside the box" and pushing the normal standards in the marketplace.

2. On the other hand, manufacturing is somehow part of our organic growth. Since we invented our multifunctional relays, we have had to rebuild and expand our facilities in Hole?ov several times. Today we have our own laboratory, testing room, certification accreditation. Even the world's biggest players have chosen to manufacture with us because we can offer great value for money thanks to automation and our own innovations, while guaranteeing first-class quality under the Made in Europe banner. Again, it has cost a huge amount of money, but today we are able to compete with Asian manufacturers.

3. It's a team effort. Dozens of people worked together to develop the product. I still remember standing alone in the garage in 1993 soldering and tinkering and then gradually getting my family involved. Today I have experts in Hole?ov not only from the region, but also top engineers from abroad who are in many ways much further ahead than I used to be. Moreover, they have grown up with technology and the internet and think differently.

4. It's a really well thought out product, which of course will soon be copied by the competition. But it will never take away the feeling of victory and another patent that we were able to draw, plan, produce, test and market.

5. Value for money. This too is proof to me that we still don't have our nose up. We are not heroes who only want to make high-end solutions for the most luxurious and biggest projects and meet with expensively dressed top executives. We are still making solutions for the regular guys (and of course a few ladies in the industry) and electrical experts. One that is affordable and truly mass scalable.

The next SMARTEAST will again be about my recent trips to India, Bahrain, UAE or Morocco - but I just had to share this one.

Thanks so much for sharing and commenting!
