  1. Tesla Electrifies the Automotive Industry – and Continues To Push Industry Boundaries

    Leave a Comment

    Tesla can be credited with more than simply “electrifying” and “shaking up” the automotive industry with the introduction of its electric cars, including, most recently, the Tesla 3. In fact, it seems like Tesla is giving the automotive industry a complete overhaul, putting the latest innovative automotive technology into the hands of more consumers and changing how the industry operates, from the way cars are manufactured, to how cars are marketed and sold to consumers.

    The auto industry used to be ruled by a few big-name manufacturers who relied on the same, old systems and pre-approved suppliers to manufacture, market and sell automobiles. Today, Tesla, Google, and a few other companies have expanded the playing field by introducing new technologies to consumers. Musk, his company, and many people believe the changes in the industry are good, especially when the changes lead to the embracement of new technology and sustainability.

    Tesla Motors is riding a wave of optimism about its new Model 3 electric sedan, with orders pouring in from people who presumably want an environmentally friendly vehicle. The interest in their latest model, the Tesla 3, has spread completely organically. Unlike other major product launches, they haven’t advertised or paid for any endorsements.   All the interest is making way for a better future by accelerating the transition to sustainable transportation.

    At MPS Industries, Inc., our focus is also on innovation and bringing new technology to our customers.  In a magnetic component industry that is often stuck in old technology, MPS always strives for innovation and continues to generate interest and buzz with our newest product releases.  We manufacture all types of magnetic components for the EV industry. You’ll find our components used throughout the power grid, in charging stations, in solar inverters, in energy storage, within the electric vehicles themselves, and in many other related applications. We’re proud to play an important role in the changing automotive industry, and we believe the changes are here to stay. We also look forward to playing our part in assisting companies like Tesla and industry pioneers create sustainable transportation options for many more years to come!

  2. The Force Between our Magnetic Components and the Auto and Energy Industries

    We take great pride in the production of our magnetic components, and we continue to improve their quality and capabilities as technology continues to change the manufacturing world. It’s always interesting for us to see how our magnetic components fit into specific applications, which can range from a variety of different industries. Recently, we have seen the growth of two very different industries—automotive and energy—both of which our magnetic products can be used for.

    Automotive

    The automotive electronics market is a growing one, especially with the emergence of hybrid and electric vehicles. More and more cars are being controlled by a variety of electronics –think lighting, infotainment centers, power windows, power seats, and proximity sensors. Then you have the introduction of hybrid and electric vehicles, which count electronics as a huge part of the vehicle’s controls. With all of these electronics, you need magnetic components for support and use—this is where MPS steps in.
    Not only can we provide the magnetic components for all of the new electronically-controlled features in each new generation of cars, but we also provide products that are fit for critical applications, such as the automotive industry.

    Energy

    With solar and wind power and green energy becoming more and more popular, the energy industry is set to become a booming industry in the next few years. As many companies are beginning to invest in energy management systems and smart grids, which are able to store energy in a grid in order to distribute the energy evenly, we are seeing a rise in the use of inverters. These inverters need the use of our magnetic components in order to properly manage the use of energy.

    The auto and energy industries also have a lot in common—as electric vehicles become more dominant, so will the use of auto charging stations, which utilize a lot of energy as well. In the near future, we see both industries growing tremendously and overlapping with one another. Our company and our magnetic components will be there every step of the way, helping the vehicles run smoothly and the energy grids to stay powered on.
