Mars Petcare / Antech Diagnostics:
Innovating Workplace Power Solutions with Omnicharge
Mars Petcare's Science and Diagnostics division specializes in research and development for veterinary diagnostics, uniting acquired companies into a cohesive organization. Their mission includes developing innovative tools for veterinarians and training professionals on their use. As part of this effort, they design and build flexible, future-ready workspaces across their locations.
Challenge
The division faced two critical challenges:
- Dynamic Training Spaces: They required training rooms that could adapt to varying setups for different training programs, including for salespeople and technicians, without permanent electrical installations or restrictive furniture configurations.
- Interim Solutions for Facility Transitions: In cases such as their Loveland, Colorado, office relocation, traditional power infrastructure was not feasible due to time constraints and capital limitations.
Additionally, spaces like rooftop areas and temporary offices lacked sufficient power access, limiting their functionality and adaptability.
Solution
Mars Petcare adopted Omnicharge's Omni Power Station to solve their challenges. These modular power solutions provided:
- Flexible Power Distribution: Enabled laptops and other training tools to operate seamlessly in dynamic, reconfigurable environments.
- Cost-Effective and Scalable Setup: Avoided costly floor or wall outlet installations, allowing spaces to adapt as needed without long-term commitments.
- Enhanced User Experience: Trainees and trainers benefited from clutter-free setups with overnight charging capabilities for devices.
Implementation
In the Loveland office, Omnicharge enabled the training team to:
- Set up modular furniture and power stations, accommodating up to 50 trainees with changing daily configurations.
- Equip the space without permanent electrical installations, avoiding a significant capital expense for a temporary solution.
At their New York office, the Omni Power Station transformed underutilized spaces, such as an ADA-non-compliant antechamber and a roof deck, into functional meeting areas. Employees could check out power banks, enabling work on the roof without the need for fixed outlets.
Results
Mars Petcare realized immediate benefits, including:
- Increased Flexibility: Modular power solutions empowered teams to adapt spaces for varied functions without technical or financial constraints.
- Future-Proofing Spaces: Avoided permanent design decisions while maintaining functionality.
- Improved Employee Satisfaction: Trainers and teams expressed high satisfaction with the ease of use and reliability of the Omnicharge systems.
Customer Testimonial
"Omnicharge has been a game-changer. It's so smart and flexible. I don't know why we didn't think to power up this way in the past. We love them so much and will continue adding them as we create new training and gathering rooms."
