Office agility: delivering workplace freedom with flexible technology

Expanding its popular MOV:E range with both UK and EU outlets, BACHMANN explores the freedom offered by a mobile, multi-device power supply.

Designed to free the modern worker from tangled, untidy extension cables, BACHMANN introduced the MOV:E range – an XXL energy store compatible with all common office devices, ranging from laptops through to digital flip charts. The creation of radical office technology like MOV:E reflects a wider movement towards increasingly mobile, nomadic styles of working, as hybrid office models gradually become the norm across the professional world.

Now, the popular range has been expanded with the introduction of UK outlets as well as EU, promoting mobile team working regardless of the available building infrastructure. Ideal for modern working life, MOV:E can travel with employees from agile project rooms to coworking and collaboration areas, lending itself to practices like hot-desking. The mobile charging unit can power up to four laptops at the same time and even power a mobile flip chart with electricity for up to two hours, making it the ideal power supply for a wide range of professional environments.

“Conventional charging technology in the office often has low charging capacities that are sufficient for mobile phones and tablets,” explains Benjamin Damm, Product Manager at BACHMANN. “They are also often designed for just one user and only offer you a short energy boost for the devices. MOV:E offers customers enough power for the whole working day: the wide range of connection options with USB-A, USB-C and AC sockets, in conjunction with a high output power, makes it possible to work together.”

“Another application that distinguishes the MOV:E from ‘normal’ power banks is that it can also be used to power devices such as a digital whiteboard,” Damm continues. “MOV:E brings electricity to areas in the office where there is little or no electricity available today, enabling new, flexible workspaces. For example, small meeting boxes can be supplied with power without the need for extensive cabling.”

The XXL energy store offers fast charging for all common office devices via 230 V socket or USB A/C charger, featuring an easy to operate control panel and an impressive energy efficiency rating of over 93%. The collection also boasts a clean, timeless style and high-quality materials including powder-coated aluminium: available in elegant black and high-quality white shades, MOV:E also offers a choice of customised colour designs upon consultation.

Optional accessories such as an adapter for attaching a safety lock complete the range’s broad functionality, which is already available with CEE7/3, UK, UTE, USB A and USB C fast charging. MOV:E also helps specifiers deliver sustainable credentials thanks to its replaceable 230 Wh lithium-ion battery, as well as soft start and automatic standby to enable power saving mode.
