Validating Battery Lifespan and Optimizing Electric Forklift Operations

The IT services industry is becoming more and more focused on offering solutions that support environmental sustainability in addition to operational efficiency. This shows up in the logistics sector as an increasing need for data-driven solutions. Businesses are looking for methods to use technology to cut waste, increase the lifespan of important assets, and obtain useful operational insights.

IoT will be an essential component in solving DX issues in the logistics industry. The most important factor there is cost. 1NCE has an overwhelming advantage in terms of cost. We look forward to continued expansion of supported regions and further cost reduction

Background

Iguazu is a leading distributor of IT hardware and software equipment in Japan. The company builds it solutions around environmental responsibility, offering solutions like MOTTA, a recycled battery technology that reuses discarded batteries. With a focus of decreasing CO₂ emissions and promoting recycling, they help their customers to gain both economic and ecological benefits. MOTTA provides a cost-effective alternative to traditional batteries, decreasing initial investment costs using recycled materials.

Challenge

Iguazu's end customers conducted a test run of an electric forklift truck equipped with a recycled battery and determined that long-term vehicle maintenance was feasible. However, they also required data to validate the vehicle's actual operational lifespan. A common issue with prolonged electric forklift use is that lifespan varies significantly based on cargo type and operator handling. Therefore, they needed data to provide evidence of the battery's longevity.

1NCE Solution

Iguazu partnered with 1NCE for IoT software and connectivity needed to transmit and track real-time operational data from the electric forklifts. Iguazu scaled its data acquisition infrastructure, achieving a 15-20% improvement in operational efficiency. They have also reduced the overhead associated with manual business management. The resulting system provided granular data on battery performance and forklift usage, enabling predictive maintenance and performance optimization.
