Battery Optimisation is an additional component, optional to the Forklift Monitoring System. The Battery Optimisation device is designed to significantly enhance the ability to achieve and improve battery life and utilisation, lower asset and maintenance costs, and meet Material Handling Equipment (MHE) utilisation and maintenance goals. The Battery Optimisation offers 3 levels of insight to help identify ways to improve battery life and utilisation, reduce operational costs, meet business goals and improve the bottom line.

3 Levels of Insights
1. Maximise Battery Life and Life Cycles
BXOptimise can positively impact capital costs by:
Reducing unnecessary charging and charging cycles
Reducing premature pull-off
Reducing overcharging that causes overheating/boiling over events
Identifying problem trucks that drain batteries abnormally
Identifying problem operators that do not charge timely/correctly or abuse batteries by the way they use the truck.
Identifying problem batteries that over/undercharge or short cycle.
Calculating the number of battery cycles, disconnects, temperature/boiling measurements, rates of discharge
Delivering data that can be used for cost/benefit analysis and KPI development
2. Reduce the Cost of Charging Batteries
BXOptimise provides valuable insight into by:
Monitoring the number of charging occurrences, charging time and current levels of power consumed that equate the cost of charge to identify areas of improvement
Calculating the cost of amp/hrs. by the time of day, day of the week, or other parameters you set
Scheduling charging at the best time to minimise cost and improve fleet optimisation.
3. Maximise Battery Utilisation
BXOptimise can positively improve battery charges by:
Identifying batteries with low utilisation rates
Optimising charge timing
Producing a charging schedule to maximise battery/truck uptime.
