More Solar Power, Less Grid Dependence: SAMDUO Opens Official Nex E Series Sales in the Netherlands

Published

on

AMSTERDAM, July 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — For years, Dutch households with solar panels have been able to offset surplus electricity fed into the grid against the energy they consume later. From January 1, 2027, that will change.

To prepare homeowners for this transition, SAMDUO is launching direct online sales of its Nex E Series through its official website in the Netherlands. Homeowners can purchase the Nex E6000 and Nex E6000H, two AC-coupled systems designed to store surplus solar power, reduce reliance on higher-priced grid electricity and built for space-conscious Dutch homes, starting July 13.

Designed for Homes Where Every Centimeter Matters

For many Dutch homeowners, finding space for a home battery can be just as important as choosing the right capacity, given that most traditional batteries are bulky and industrial-looking.

At just 11.9cm deep, the ultra-slim Nex E6000 fits neatly into narrow areas, while its minimalist design blends naturally with modern Dutch interiors. The crisp lines and 3mm crystal-clear tempered-glass panel present it as a sophisticated interior object rather than a pure functional device. Bringing a sense of calm and visual balance to home, it also earned a Red Dot Design Award for Tools, Industrial Equipment and Machinery. The Nex E6000H offers a compact alternative for crowded garages, basements and storage rooms. With a body comparable in size to a standard 23L microwave, it’s built for corners and other underused spaces.

Thanks to their fanless design, when installed closer to living spaces, both batteries operate without noticeable noise. With up to 2600VA of power output, they can also help keep essential household devices—including refrigerators, lighting, laptops and smartphones—running during unexpected outages.

Seamlessly Connected to the Dutch Energy Market

Beyond its compact design, the Nex E Series is built to integrate smoothly into energy usage. Compatible with more than 800 European energy providers, the system responds to dynamic electricity tariffs across the Dutch market. SAMDUO Intelligence™ combines this pricing data with household consumption patterns and local weather forecasts to determine more cost-effective times to charge and discharge.

By storing energy when solar production is high or electricity prices are lower, then using it when demand and prices increase, users make better use of solar energy generated, maximise self-consumption while potentially saving up to €1,584 per year.*

Its plug-and-play setup with 800W on-grid output reduces the need for specialist installation and lengthy waiting time. Users can connect it to the SAMDUO App and coordinate energy flow within minutes. Once they plug in the P1 Meter to their house grids, it works seamlessly with third-party devices, such as everHome EcoTracker and HomeWizard P1 meter, giving greater flexibility in energy management.

*Maximum savings are based on SAMDUO’s internal calculations. Actual results may vary depending on solar generation, consumption patterns, electricity prices and system configuration.

Engineered for Long-Term Reliability

At SAMDUO, we believe there should be no compromise when it comes to the safety of Dutch homes and people living in it. The Nex E Series uses 314Ah LFP battery cells from global Tier 1 suppliers and has passed the Nail Penetration Test, helping ensure safe and reliable operation in everyday residential environments.

The system is built to stay steady for years with the flexibility to grow as households’ energy needs change. With PowerMesh™ technology, users can expand their setup to support up to 15 units as new energy needs emerge. Designed for long-term use, the Nex E Series offers up to 10,000 charge cycles, a 10-year warranty and an expected lifespan of up to 15 years, giving homeowners greater confidence in their energy investment.*

*Cycle life and expected service life are based on specified test conditions. Actual performance may vary.

Keep More of Your Solar Energy at Home

The end of net metering will change how Dutch households benefit from solar power, making now the right time to prepare. By storing more of the energy generated during the day and using it when it matters most, homeowners can reduce reliance on the grid and keep more value within the home.

From July 13, the SAMDUO Nex E6000 and Nex E6000H are available through the official SAMDUO website, with delivery across the Netherlands. Explore the Nex E Series today and unlock exclusive benefits now!

Published

on

By

The new product integrates full-system diagnostics, ECU Coding, CAN-FD/DoIP support, and 34+ service functions to help independent repair shops, professional technicians, and advanced DIY users improve vehicle diagnostics.

MARIETTA, Ga., July 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Foxwell recently announced the launch of the new NT919 BT automotive diagnostic scan tool, further expanding its professional automotive diagnostic product lineup. The device integrates full-system diagnostics, more than 3000 Bidirectional Active Tests, ECU Coding, over 34 Maintenance Services, and CAN-FD and DoIP communication protocol support, serving independent repair shops, mobile technicians, fleet maintenance teams, and advanced DIY users.

As modern vehicles become more electronically complex, traditional OBD2 code readers are often insufficient for advanced diagnostics. The increasing number of electronic control modules and evolving vehicle communication systems have created new challenges for technicians who need deeper access to vehicle systems beyond basic fault code reading. The Foxwell NT919 BT provides an integrated solution combining fault identification, component testing, system diagnostics, and repair assistance.

From Reading Fault Codes to Active Fault Verification

Many vehicle issues do not immediately generate clear diagnostic trouble codes but instead appear as abnormal component responses, reduced performance, or intermittent failures. Relying only on fault code reading can make it difficult to determine the actual cause.

Bi directional scan tool NT919 BT supports more than 3000 Bidirectional Active Tests, allowing users to send commands to supported vehicle components and observe their actual responses. Technicians can test components such as cooling fans, fuel injectors, ABS pumps, relays, and lights without removing parts, helping verify potential faults more efficiently.

The NT919 BT features Auto VIN Scanning, which quickly identifies vehicle information and loads the corresponding diagnostic menu, reducing manual vehicle selection steps for technicians who frequently work on different vehicles.

The device supports diagnostics across multiple vehicle control systems, including Engine, Transmission, ABS, SRS, BCM, TPMS, HVAC, and Steering systems. Users can read generic and manufacturer-specific trouble codes and view live data to gain a more complete understanding of vehicle conditions.

ECU Coding and Maintenance Services for Advanced Repairs

Modern vehicles increasingly rely on software-controlled systems, making module configuration, adaptation, and calibration important parts of professional repair procedures.

The Foxwell NT919 BT supports ECU Coding, allowing users to perform vehicle configuration adjustments, module matching, and related settings on supported vehicles. It also provides more than 34 Maintenance Services, including Oil Reset, EPB Service, ABS Bleeding, Battery Registration, and Steering Angle Sensor Calibration.

Support for Next-Generation Vehicle Communication Protocols

To meet the diagnostic requirements of newer vehicle architectures, the NT919 BT supports CAN-FD and DoIP communication protocols.

DoorDash, Observe.AI, and AWS Partner to Scale Customer-Centric AI Across 19,000 Agents

Nearly 100% automated quality coverage enables real-time insight, behavioral analysis, and faster action to improve customer experience

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., July 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Observe.AI today shared the impact of its collaboration with DoorDash and Amazon Web Services (AWS), which has transformed DoorDash’s customer support operations through nearly 100% automated interaction evaluations across 19,000 agents—driving real-time hotspot detection, deeper sentiment visibility, and stronger quality consistency at scale.

The collaboration marks a significant milestone in DoorDash’s broader AI strategy—positioning customer experience at the forefront of responsible AI adoption and operational innovation.

Moving From Checkbox QA to Customer Insight

As DoorDash expanded globally, traditional manual QA processes—based on limited sampling and binary scoring—could no longer keep pace. The company sought a more scalable, diagnostic approach that would move beyond compliance and uncover the true behavioral drivers behind customer pain points.

Through a partnership with Observe.AI, powered in part by AWS transcription and AI model infrastructure, DoorDash built a conversational intelligence platform capable of evaluating nearly 100% of customer interactions automatically.

“AI is incredibly important to DoorDash, especially in customer experience,” said Xenia Strunnikova, Head of Customer Experience, Fraud, Trust & Safety S&O at DoorDash. “We didn’t want automation for its own sake. We wanted to better understand what drives customer sentiment, move beyond binary scoring, and put the customer at the center of our decisions. This partnership enabled us to do that at scale.”

Automation allowed DoorDash to shift human quality teams away from manual scoring and toward higher-value analysis—identifying subjective issues, understanding behavioral drivers, and ensuring customer safety and fairness.

From Days to Near Real-Time Hotspot Detection

Observe.AI’s conversational intelligence signals, including sentiment, comprehension metrics, and behavioral indicators, enable DoorDash to infer satisfaction even when customers do not explicitly provide feedback.

These signals have significantly accelerated issue detection. Emerging product friction points, such as DashPass concerns or new feature launches, that previously took days or weeks to uncover can now be surfaced in near real time.

“Listening to customers at scale is hard,” said Joaquin Dufeu, Director of Strategy & Operations for Customer Experience & Integrity (CXI) with DoorDash. “With nearly 100% coverage, we can proactively identify hotspots we might never have seen before. What used to take days now happens almost immediately. That changes how we operate—and how quickly we can improve the experience.”

This shift supports DoorDash’s long-term ambition to move toward real-time operational response, enabling faster product iteration and more proactive customer care.

Strengthening Responsible AI Adoption

The initiative also reinforces DoorDash’s commitment to responsible AI implementation. Rather than replacing human judgment, automation augments teams with objective signals and comprehensive visibility—creating more consistent coaching, clearer partner alignment, and stronger accountability across BPO relationships.

A Platform Built Through Iterative Partnership

The companies describe the effort as co-creation—building and refining signals together in iterative cycles to ensure the platform reflects DoorDash’s operational realities and customer priorities.

“This was never about deploying a tool,” said Deepak Kumar, Observe.AI Chief Customer Officer (CCO). “It was about building a platform alongside DoorDash that enables automation, diagnostic insight, and real-time intelligence at enterprise scale. Together with AWS, we’re helping power a customer-first AI transformation.”

Investing in the Customer Experience

At its core, the initiative is focused on one outcome: doing better for customers.

With full interaction coverage, richer behavioral analysis, and faster insight turnaround, DoorDash can better understand its customers, keep them safe, and drive meaningful operational change—advancing its broader AI roadmap while maintaining trust and empathy at the center of the experience.

The companies will continue to iterate on signals, expand real-time capabilities, and deepen their collaboration as part of DoorDash’s ongoing AI investment strategy.
