Following the launch of Mersen Product Recognition App for North America in 2018, Mersen announces the release of the industry’s first EU product recognition app to use a photo to identify and suggest a product cross reference based on the image.
This industry-first feature gives the user the option to search for a competitive cross reference via direct text input or photo recognition. Simply use a mobile device to scan the fuse into the app for identification. Mersen’s Product Recognition App will do the rest and suggest a match based on the photo.
Mersen’s new EU Product Recognition app covers European and North American Standard fuses and fuse holders and lets users:
- To search for a product via photo or text input
- To identify Mersen and competitive products
- To obtain Mersen product data sheets
- To reach out to a Mersen product expert via online messaging
Mersen’s application experts developed this app in response to challenges faced by customers and electrical professionals who wanted a quicker way to identify and select our products.
“More and more electrical professionals use their smartphone or tablet devices in their day-to-day work activities. It just made sense to harness the latest in digital technology and develop a tool like this for them,” says Kent Walker, Mersen’s VP Solutions Engineering & Technical Services, USA/Canada.
Mersen EU app is available in three languages of English, French and German and selectable directly on the app itself.
Mersen’s Product Recognition App is available for download from the App Store or Google Play.

Cables and wires in industrial robots and other moving machine parts are often required to withstand extreme stresses caused by torsion. Constant repetitive movements put materials under considerable strain. At the same time, operators expect components to function perfectly and reliably throughout their entire service life to avoid disruptions, outages and safety hazards.
For this reason, at HELUKABEL, we simulate intensive and continuous torsion stresses under realistic conditions with our high-tech testing equipment in Windsbach. We have several types of apparatus for doing this because some of our customers, for example those in the automotive industry, have very precise specifications for how a torsion test is carried out. The tests show that our cables and wires withstand speeds up to 1,000°/s, accelerations up to 2,000°/s² and torsion angles up to 720°. Hence, we make sure that each product always meets our customers’ high standards, and that they receive the impeccable quality they rightly expect from us as a leading supplier of cables, wires and accessories for more than 40 years.
