Together with one of our key suppliers we have developed the iBOS battery management system. iBOS stands for Intelligent Battery Organiser System, and manages the selection of fully re-charged batteries in the charging bay.

How does iBOS work?

The operator enters the bay and is directed in plain language to the BEST battery to use next. If the correct battery is taken the display will change to the next battery in the queue for the next operator. By rotating the spare batteries correctly the customer can be sure to get the maximum life from their batteries.

The system has been installed in over thirty sites in the UK over the last five years and is proving to be an extremely reliable and highly successful product. Customers in manufacturing, distribution and warehousing have improved their battery life and efficiency by using our system.

Customers have also found that the system helps them to better manage their battery assets and with the information provided via laptop computer download or e-messenger they can address issues with more accurate and helpful data.

Benefits

Instructs operators which is the 'best' next battery to take.
Eliminates operator judgment by displaying the location of the battery which has been cooling the longest after charge.

Promotes longer battery life through uniform usage.
By sequencing each battery in the order it has finished charging, iBOS™ helps ensure each battery in the fleet is evenly used leading to longer battery life.

Helps you decide if you have too many or too few batteries.
iBOS™ efficiency reporting shows you times when you run out of batteries and times when there are too many batteries standing idle.

Helps identify faulty equipment.
iBOS™ diagnostic reporting clearly shows any charger location that has not been used recently. An unused charger indicates faulty equipment.

Helps reduce misuse.
iBOS™ can immediately alarm when an operator takes a battery which is not the next battery in the queue. Out of sequence picks are recorded.
