\n

Megger<\/a> stands at the forefront of safe, electrical measurement technology, delivering exceptional solutions that professionals around the globe can instinctively trust. Partnering with Mj\u00f8lner Informatics, Megger has enhanced its product range through the creation of cutting-edge graphical user interfaces (GUIs). These designs not only ensure seamless functionality but also reflect a unified commitment to quality and user-friendliness.<\/p>\n

Mj\u00f8lner has empowered Megger by introducing agile methodologies, transforming the company\u2019s software development<\/a> approach and positioning it for future success.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

An intuitive design aligned with Megger\u2019s brand identity<\/h3>\n
\n

The MFT-X1<\/a> is a very advanced multifunction tester for efficient and reliable testing of low voltage installations. The MFT-X1 is a significant upgrade from the previous industry leading MFT1700 series electricians\u2019 testers. In addition to new design and operation, it adds user upgradable features as well as advanced data handling via the CertSuite mobile App.<\/p>\n

Megger needed a design that conveys the quality and identity of the Megger brand and guides the user easily through the operation giving the user intuitive access to all the capabilities of the device. They asked Mj\u00f8lner to contribute to the software development of this flagship product.<\/p>\n

Prior to the project, Mj\u00f8lner had already created a user interface<\/a> concept on which the development of the MFT-X1 could build. The project plan rolled out by Mj\u00f8lner ensured that the GUI design remained consistent with Megger\u2019s visual identity through extensive reuse of existing assets.<\/p>\n

\u201cWorking with Mj\u00f8lner on our user interface development has been a very positive experience. They truly understood our vision and translated it into an intuitive, visually appealing design that perfectly aligns with our brand,\u201d says Stephan Sommer, Managing Director at Megger.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Much more than a technical project<\/h2>\n
\n

In addition to the software development for the specific instrument, it was agreed that Mj\u00f8lner would also facilitate the modernization of Megger\u2019s general software development process. Based on an initial project review Mj\u00f8lner introduced the use of Scrum in a systematic and structured way. These initiatives immediately improved the visibility and understanding of the project’s status.<\/p>\n

Systematic testing and continuous integration were introduced to enhance the development process. The time required to identify, analyze, and resolve defects was substantially reduced, which was essential for ensuring software quality and driving the project’s progress. Overall, the introduction of Scrum fostered closer collaboration and provided clearer definitions of project stages, enhancing each team’s understanding of the other’s needs and enabling early problem-solving. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cMj\u00f8lner really understands the business side and has taught us to be truly agile,\u201d adds Stephan Sommer.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cWe are very pleased with our long-term partnership with Mj\u00f8lner. They understand our business and have not hesitated to challenge our workflows, thereby improving not only our products but also our processes. This makes Mj\u00f8lner a valued partner whom we greatly trust.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Strong project management in a complex context<\/h2>\n
\n

During the project, software and hardware were developed in parallel. Mj\u00f8lner managed a software team consisting of GUI developers from Mj\u00f8lner and firmware developers from both Megger and Mj\u00f8lner. The focus was on all areas of the product development, ranging from control software, firmware, middleware and UI development.<\/p>\n

The project was executed by three sub-teams comprising a total of 18 developers from both Megger and Mj\u00f8lner. The team members worked across the UK, Denmark, Israel, and Egypt, representing seven different nationalities. The teams worked in a context with many stakeholders which made clear and effective communication absolutely essential. Fortnightly meetings ensured alignment with the customer\u2019s senior management.<\/p>\n

\u201cMj\u00f8lner\u2019s handling of stakeholders was excellent. The project would not have achieved the same success without Mj\u00f8lner\u2019s expertise in project management,\u201d states Stephan Sommer.<\/p>\n

The MFT-X1 is an embedded device, meaning it contains a specialized computer system within the hardware to control or perform specific tasks. Access to and information about changes in the hardware were crucial for the software developers. Mj\u00f8lner established structured and direct communication between the software teams and the hardware team, thereby mitigating delays and misunderstandings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Long-term collaboration \u2013 Mj\u00f8lner knows our business<\/h2>\n
\n

The launch of the MFT-X1 was very well received by the market and reinforces Megger’s position as a leading supplier of equipment for electrical measurements. Over the past decade, Mj\u00f8lner has completed several projects for Megger, resulting in a high level of domain knowledge.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
