Batteries monitoring are an essential part of the Material handling equipment warehouse . If the MHE are to operate at peak efficiency, their batteries must be maintained in peak condition. This depends on timely charging; cooling and watering; and periodic inspection.
The key to performing these tasks well is to monitor the battery consistently — not just to react when damage already has been done. The ultimate goal is to maintain a state of health as close as possible to 100 percent throughout the battery’s life expectancy. Until now, there was no way to gather critical battery information directly with the battery in use.
Further, older battery monitoring systems had severely limited ability to gather data. For example, previous systems sensed voltage but not current and, therefore, could not measure energy in or energy out. There was no automatic data collection and reporting — users had to rely on rigorous manual logging of data and meticulous record keeping.
In contrast, the Battmama system monitors a wide range of critical information that includes:
a) Battery state of charge
b) Battery State of Health
c) Water Level
d) Battery age and Expected Life span
e) Battery temperature
f) Alert Notification
