Bristol, UK: Metis Engineering, specialist in CAN-based sensing technology, has appointed Miken Electronics Worldwide Ltd as a global distributor for its full product range. The agreement gives defence, aerospace, and industrial customers worldwide direct access to Metis Engineering’s sensors through Miken’s established international supply chain and ISO 9001:2015 certified fulfilment network.
Metis Engineering’s product range includes the Cell Guard battery safety sensor, H Guard hydrogen sensor, Air Wise air quality monitor, Analogue to Digital CAN Module, 8-Channel Isolated Thermocouple, GPS CAN sensor, and a suite of R&D development tools and connection kits — all designed for straightforward integration into CAN networks. Cell Guard, the company’s flagship product, has achieved more than 500 deployments across electric vehicle, energy storage, and industrial applications, detecting the early-warning signatures of thermal runaway, including pressure, volatile organic compounds, moisture, dew point, hydrogen, and shock, before a critical event occurs.
The partnership with Miken Electronics Worldwide marks a significant step in extending Metis’ reach into defence and aerospace — sectors where Miken has deep procurement expertise, NATO codified component capability, and a track record of supplying high-specification electronics to mission-critical applications. The ability to monitor battery health and detect hydrogen and air quality anomalies in real time is increasingly relevant to platforms ranging from electrified ground vehicles and UAVs through to naval systems and next-generation aerospace programmes.
Headquartered in West Sussex, UK, Miken Electronics Worldwide is approved to ISO 9001:2015 and operates in full compliance with international export controls and component traceability standards, providing the rigorous supply chain assurance that defence and aerospace procurement demands.
Joe Holdsworth, Founder and CEO of Metis Engineering, said: “As electrification extends into defence platforms, UAVs, and aerospace programmes, the need for reliable, real-time battery safety monitoring has never been greater. Partnering with Miken gives us a trusted route into these markets, backed by a distributor that understands the compliance and traceability requirements of the sectors we are now targeting. We are delighted to be working with Andy and the team.”
