Navigating the Battery Production Multiverse To Improve Speed to Market
Battery manufacturing requires extremely tight assembly tolerances, high throughput rates, real-time inspection, data capture, and communication via machine and plant-level control systems. The process involves a "multiverse" of technologies, such as automation controls, drives, linear motion, and material handling systems to help satisfy these requirements.
Addressing the Battery Mineral Supply Chain
Electrifying transportation and bringing electrochemical energy storage onto the grid require colossal quantities of raw materials. Will the upstream supply chains of lithium, nickel, cobalt, and graphite meet market demand? Where are the weak points, and how can they be solved? Analysts and material suppliers at the International Battery Seminar aimed to address these questions.

BSLBATT Surpasses Milestone of 37,000 Lithium-Ion Batteries Shipped
BSLBATT, a fast-paced, high-growth, and hi-tech company leading the adoption of lithium-ion technology solutions, announced that over 37,000 battery packs shipped to customers. The start of this milestone dates back to 2012, when the company first introduced its pallet jacks battery packs.
Choosing the Right Battery Management System for Forklift Li-Ion Batteries
A Battery Management System (BMS) is a system that manages lithium-ion battery packs through integrated firmware and hardware. When paired with telematics, it provides real-time data on the status and health of a forklift battery. Lithium-ion batteries have a lot of advantages over their lead-acid counterparts. They're lighter, more efficient, charge faster, and have a longer lifespan. However, they're susceptible to conditions that can damage the battery pack. Tapping into all this potential requires lithium-ion batteries to be more complex and include components to help avoid these adverse conditions.
