What Accutronics really does in industry

When industrial equipment has to operate without a mains electricity supply, OEMs need to find sustainable alternatives to ensure continuation of plant activity at all times. As a consequence, the manufacturers turning to us are looking for battery solutions that will give their equipment a real power advantage over the competition.

Robots require emergency power
Power back up is a vital part of an emergency shutdown strategy in industry, especially if there are high levels of automation in the plant. Accutronics supplies batteries for applications such as industrial robots, power monitoring equipment and door entry systems. In each of these instances, the provision of emergency power in the event of a problem with the mains supply is essential as none of them can afford to be inoperable during the time between the loss of supply and the continuity provided by the diesel generator.

One simply can’t afford to have a robot moving in an uncontrolled way in the cell or a door locked in the closed position while you wait for the emergency power to kick in. In an industrial environment, batteries are crucial for the safety of operators and plant activity. If the electricity connection fails, the reliable smart batteries are there to take over with minimum disruption.

Many of our industrial projects can be used in a variety of applications, from oceanographic monitoring to vehicle emission testers and tracking systems. We understand that each of these dedicated battery designs need to provide the most cost effective solution over the lifetime of the application. 

Ahead of the market
Accutronics continually strives to stay ahead of the market in the development of intelligent battery solutions. For example, we continually improve the integration of fuel gauging electronics, active protection circuits and cell balancing into batteries to provide class leading functionality. 

Over three decades of experience in developing and manufacturing rechargeable battery solutions for OEMs worldwide has given the Accutronics team an in-depth understanding of industrial equipment requirements. This is really important because too many battery manufacturers get lost in the minutiae of following the design brief, building the battery and then shipping it to the customer.

However, at Accutronics we like to regard your project holistically, taking into account every detail which affects the running of the application. We don’t just design batteries; we offer whole of life support and advice, from discussing your ideas to implementing the customized battery into the application.

In addition, our consultants ensure that any newly designed energy solution is compliant with European, as well as industry specific regulations. Safety issues are high on our agenda and all off the shelf and customized batteries undergo thorough testing.
