Balancing efficiency & sustainability

For over 75 years, Fronius Perfect Charging has been a leading expert in advanced and sustainable charging of traction and starter batteries. Customers from the intralogistics and automotive industry are convinced by the performance, efficiency and reliability of the Fronius portfolio.

In addition to the high-quality charging technology for lead-acid and lithium-ion batteries, the experts from Fronius Perfect Charging offer a comprehensive range of services and consulting. The aspiration is to help customers to reduce their electricity consumption and costs as well as to improve their CO2 balance and performance with an optimal individual charging solution. In this way, Fronius supports customers in becoming “Best in TCO” while achieving their sustainability goals.

Step by step towards more sustainability

It is vitally important for Fronius that every stage in their process is sustainable. The charging technology and infrastructure from Fronius is built with a low material input and is characterized by a long service life due to the use of robust components. In addition, the chargers can be upgraded with the latest software release, allowing them to be used for years to come.

Besides the product characteristics, Fronius Perfect Charing also supports customers on their journey towards more sustainability with all-in-one customised solutions. By combining the charging technology with an innovative photovoltaic system, for instance, companies can contribute to a greener environment and benefit from energy savings at the same time.

How electric forklifts can be charged in an energy and cost-efficient way:

Reducing electricity costs is currently highly ranked on the industry’s to-do list from an ecological and economical perspective. That is why energy-efficient solutions are required, which also applies to electrically operated forklift systems. Significant saving potential is unlocked when an optimized setup of battery, industrial truck & intelligent chargers is realized.

Reduction of energy consumption

Energy-efficient charging technologies from Fronius Perfect Charging help in saving energy: Selectiva 3.0 chargers are particularly gentle and effective during charging due to their high overall efficiency. The patented Ri-charging process ensures that each process is individually adapted to the age, temperature, and state of charge of the battery. Overcharging can be avoided, only the energy that is required is supplied. Compared to conventional charging technology, the energy consumption can be reduced up to 30 percent. The service life of the battery can be extended up to 10 to 15 percent.

Time-controlled charging

Fleet operators can also save electricity and costs by using the calendar function integrated in the Selectiva 3.0 battery chargers. If the user starts the process in individual charging stations or rooms at intervals of 15 minutes, for example, there is no increased cumulative power requirement at the beginning of charging. Peaks in the network load can thus be avoided. Fluctuating electricity tariffs, which in many cases depend on the time or day, can also be effectively managed with the calendar function. If the user sets the start of charging at a defined time or on weekend days, he can take advantage of lower rates.

Identify additional savings potential

Using the software tool, I-SPoT Calculator Smat, the total operating costs (costs over the lifetime) can be calculated, and minimization of power consumption can be determined with the help of the optimal charging technology – individually for different company locations and individual departments. The starting point and the sequence can thus be exactly determined for the optimization measures as well as knowing how high the savings are compared to 50 Hz or HF technology.

Use of energy analysis

The Fronius Perfect Charging experts are available for a more detailed analysis and energy consulting, evaluating further options for energy savings. To do this, the Fronius experts analyze the conditions, regardless of manufacturer and technology – always with the aim of reducing costs and increasing availability and performance. Based on the identified potential, the Fronius specialists support the user regarding the charging process, battery technology and networking solutions. Fronius Perfect Charging follows a holistic approach and supports customers from analysis and advice to conception and planning to implementation and ongoing support.

For future-proof intralogistics: Fronius supports you in making your company fit for the future: Be it by switching to electric powered forklifts in your intralogistics, the use of efficient chargers or the combination of battery charging technology and photovoltaics.
