How important are partnerships in today’s dynamic electric market? While one of the main requirements of industrial OEMs and manufacturers transitioning towards electrification is to find an experienced lithium battery supplier that can best support them in a complex but much-needed technology shift, this is coupled with another pressing need: the search for a turnkey product.
It is precisely from here that the increasingly strategic importance of creating synergies between battery manufacturers and suppliers of the various powertrain components arises. This joint approach is capable of creating significant added value for all those OEMs and vehicle manufacturers which, in this way, can liaise with a single contact and access detailed consultancy that analyses all the vehicle requirements, and propose solutions tailored to the needs of the application, giving access to a finished, ready-to-use product.
Synergy, strategy and technology for the electrification of industrial machines and vehicles
A quality product is no longer enough in today’s industrial vehicle market: this must be supported by a clear business strategy, a lean industrial approach and experienced strategic partnerships that can create mutual value and strengthen the perception of the goods or services in the mind of clients.
Added to this is the search for technology and innovation, requirements that underlie the electrification of today’s industrial machines and vehicles. The aim of IVT Expo will be to create a direct communication channel between the various players in the electrification industry to facilitate the creation of top-class partnerships with a strong strategic impact.
Flash Battery, which over the years has already built up a strong network of international partnerships with highly experienced system integrators such as Atech GmbH in Germany and Austria, Q-Tronic in Benelux, and Efa France in France, and which is actively working on signing a new collaboration agreement in the Czech Republic with the joint aim of providing clients with efficient and comprehensive electrification solutions, will have the opportunity to take its industrial lithium batteries to an increasingly international level, combining its proprietary technology with the experience of more and more players in the powertrain segment.
Thanks to the synergies with various strategic partners, each Flash Battery product, designed according to an 8-step industrial process in which all the company areas work together to support the manufacturer in the choice of the most suitable electrification solution for its equipment, comes with active support and expert knowledge in all those countries that are moving at a fast pace towards electrification, involving an increasing number of industrial sectors, from construction to robotics, logistics, aerial work platforms, Ground Support Equipment, sailing, agriculture and more and more special machines.
Construction, GSE and Heavy Duty Material Handling driving industrial electrification with highly customised solutions
Since 2012, Flash Battery has been offering its expertise in response to the changing and constantly growing industrial electrification market, and does so through cutting-edge research and development and an industrial approach that has been able, in more than 11 years of activity, to meet the electrification demands of increasing numbers of OEMs and manufacturers belonging to various sectors.
The subject of the electric switchover involves more and more areas of application in the field of industrial machines and vehicles, but there are three sectors in particular that today show a trend of continuous growth, which are:
- Construction
- Heavy Duty Material Handling
- Ground Support Equipment
A made-to-measure battery developed for each sector
IVT Expo will be tangible proof of this, with Material Handling, Construction and Ground Support Equipment carving out a leading role for themselves in electrification, developing increasingly challenging projects confirming the drive towards the electric switchover in a wide range of applications.
Due to the type and intensity of their everyday work, equipment such as cranes, mini-cranes, excavators, cement mixers or heavy duty side loaders, to name just a few, need significant autonomy and power. As a result, the lithium battery packs developed for these types of applications must focus on a very specific characteristic: high energy density. The focus is therefore on mechanical and electronic customisation, one of the main strengths of Flash Battery, designed to offer the highest possible energy density in a reduced volume, without compromising on the robustness required to deal with the continuous mechanical stress the vehicle is subjected to in its daily work, for example on site.
The goal is to achieve the perfect integration between vehicle and battery that not only allows the batteries to perform at their best, but also delivers added value in terms of performance, autonomy, zero maintenance costs for the entire machine as well as maximum safety. Indeed, for these sectors, the Flash Battery lithium battery packs are not only mechanically tailored to fit the available space, but are also integrated with ad-hoc connectors for the electrical requirements of the vehicle, such as, for example, the integration of multiple inputs and outputs, or special functions such as the pre-charge function and insulation monitoring.
Lithium batteries: safety first!
Another critical aspect to bear in mind for the electrification of construction vehicles, heavy-duty material handling equipment or the various applications serving the Ground Support Equipment segment is compliance with stringent safety standards, which Flash Battery has always guaranteed by choosing to use a very specific chemistry, i.e. LFP chemistry, which most closely matches the needs of the industrial sector in terms of safety thanks to its high temperature of decomposition and slow release of heat. This combination avoids thermal runaway, thus ensuring a high level of safety, including under the most critical conditions. 
But it’s not just a question of chemistry. The safety of industrial applications also comes from two other key factors, which only a manufacturer with experience and knowledge can provide: the correct assembly of the battery pack and the use of smart control electronics that can control and monitor the behaviour of the individual cells in real time, such as voltage and temperature, to allow timely action to be taken in the event of anomalies. This ensures safety and improves performance at the same time.
Predictive battery maintenance for maximum performance!
Last but not least is the optimisation of machine performance. OEMs and manufacturers in the Construction, Material Handling and GSE sectors are increasingly looking for battery systems that are able to bring added value in terms of optimising application use and improving the overall performance of the equipment.
This is where the Flash Battery proprietary remote control system comes in. Flash Data Center, is a true partner in the field of predictive maintenance which, since the first version was implemented in 2013, has been supporting manufacturers of industrial machines and vehicles, providing detailed information 24/7 and in real time on the functioning and methods of use of the batteries installed on their equipment all over the world. In its latest release, Flash Data Center takes advantage of the most recent artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies to analyse all battery operating parameters (SOH, voltage, current, temperature, analysis of charging/discharging times, etc.) and makes it possible not only to know in advance how a battery is used and what stress it is put under, but also allows the effective life of the battery installed on the equipment to be estimated and the future behaviour to be predicted. Essential information to help correct and improve the performance of the machine itself, thus increasing productivity.
