According to Bloomberg News, Dyson, the UK's innovative vacuum cleaner and dryer manufacturer, will invest 1 billion pounds ($1.44 billion) in new battery technology in the next five years. At present, Dyson is increasing its expansion into new markets.
In 2015, Dyson acquired Satki3, a US solid-state lithium-ion battery manufacturer, for $90 million. Prior to this, Dyson had invested $15 million in the Michigan-based company. Satki3 said the company has invented a new technology that can make it produce twice as much battery as a standard lithium-ion battery at a cost of only one-third of the latter.
Dyson’s efforts in the development of new battery technologies have also received strong support from the UK’s 2016 government budget. The British government announced last week that it would give Dyson a £16 million award as part of a package to help the company develop batteries with longer battery life. The funding comes from a local development fund in the UK.
The battery is a core component of the Dyson wireless vacuum cleaner product. Dyson said in a statement that in 2015, the global wireless vacuum cleaner market revenue increased by 66%, while Dyson's market share reached about 25%.
Although new batteries may not be immediately used in Dyson's existing wireless products, they are likely to be widely used in many product areas, from electric cars to tablets. After entering the battery development field, Dyson will launch a strong challenge to companies such as Tesla, which is owned by Elon Musk. Tesla is also currently developing new batteries for automobiles and home appliances.
Strong revenue and profit growth
Due to strong revenue and profit growth in 2015, this has given Dyson more confidence in the large-scale investment in battery technology. In 2015, Dyson achieved a revenue of 1.7 billion pounds in the whole year, a year-on-year increase of 26%. The annual profit reached 448 million pounds, a year-on-year increase of 19%.
In addition to wireless vacuum cleaner products, air purifiers and humidifiers are also the main force driving Dyson's sales growth. Dyson said that in 2015, the company's global sales of air purifiers and humidifiers increased by 35%, mainly due to strong demand in the Asian market.
Dyson said the company plans to spend 100 million pounds to buy technology from outside in the next three years. In addition, Dyson plans to invest £5 million a week in internal product development.
Industrial UPS is a specialized power protection system designed to provide backup power to critical industrial equipment in the event of a power outage or fluctuation. It is commonly used in industries such as manufacturing, oil and gas, chemical processing, telecommunications, and data centers.
Performance:
Industrial UPS systems are built to withstand harsh environmental conditions and provide reliable and stable power to sensitive equipment. They offer high levels of protection against power disturbances like surges, spikes, sags, and voltage fluctuations. These UPS systems typically have a high fault tolerance and can provide instantaneous power transfer during a power outage, minimizing downtime and preventing damage to equipment.
Industrial UPS systems can deliver power in different forms, including online, line-interactive, and offline. Online UPS systems provide continuous power protection by continuously converting AC power to DC and then back to AC. Line-interactive UPS systems regulate voltage fluctuations while being connected to the AC power source. Offline UPS systems are the simplest and provide basic power backup during outages.
Application Scenarios:
1. Manufacturing: Industrial UPS systems are crucial in manufacturing plants where downtime can result in significant financial losses. They protect critical equipment such as robotic systems, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), and control systems, ensuring uninterrupted operation and preventing data loss.
2. Oil and Gas: In the oil and gas industry, UPS systems are used to safeguard critical equipment like pumps, compressors, and control systems. They ensure uninterrupted power supply, which is crucial for maintaining safety and preventing accidents in hazardous environments.
3. Chemical Processing: Industrial UPS systems are essential in chemical processing plants where precise control of equipment is necessary. They protect sensitive instruments, control systems, and data acquisition systems, ensuring uninterrupted operation and preventing loss of valuable data.
4. Telecommunications: UPS systems play a vital role in the telecommunications industry, protecting critical communication infrastructure such as servers, switches, routers, and data centers. They provide uninterrupted power supply, ensuring continuous connectivity and preventing service disruptions.
5. Data Centers: Industrial UPS systems are widely used in data centers to protect servers, storage systems, and networking equipment. They provide backup power during outages, preventing data loss and ensuring continuous operation of critical services.
