iBattery module

The iWarehouse fleet optimization system from The Raymond Corp. now features the iBattery module to help maintain lift-truck battery fleets. The new module enables data-driven battery management by automatically notifying warehouse managers of key battery statistics, like charge/discharge cycles, high and low temperatures, and low battery water levels. The result is a prolonged battery life, with increased uptime and reduced cost.

The iWarehouse system draws real-time, accurate information from the computers on board Raymond lift trucks. The system's reporting modules enable warehouse managers to benchmark lift truck and operator productivity, diagnose potential lift truck issues remotely, reduce the risk of impacts, and optimize lift truck capital and maintenance costs. When the system is combined with the iWarehouse Gateway, information gathered by the iWarehouse modules, including the iBattery module, is accessible via an online Web portal.

iBattery also provides accurate voltage monitoring to aid in the prevention of over-discharging of the battery, promoting longer battery life. In addition, the battery data can help ensure compliance with warranty requirements by providing detailed reports on the interval of charges, temperature, watering, and equalization to validate battery maintenance.
