CeMAT fair in Hannover

ABERTAX  innovation attracts the attention of leaders in material handling equipment at the CeMAT fair in Hannover.

The presence of Abertax Technologies at the CeMAT fair has again brought the press’s attention with their latest innovations on the various patented products.

With their success with their Capacitive level sensor this year however, Abertax surprised the material handling industry with their latest “Online” battery monitoring system.

It looks that with their international activities and presentations at leading conferences such as the last ELBC in Istanbul, they managed to get the attraction of major battery companies and proved that Battery Management is a must, not only for the lithium technology.

With the team of professionals on the stand Abertax could show how “online” battery monitoring (OBM) can now be done even from an iPad in the palm of your hands. Using their various field tests with leading OEM manufacturers , they could show the technology in action on their big screen or on iPads for those who wanted to play a bit around with the iPad OBM application. This will surely overcome all the difficulties with other existing systems that hinder the easy access of the battery data at “any time” and from “anyware”. Speaking to their Vice President Bjoern Mentzer, he quoted their design concept behind this development “Let the battery speak independently”. And we have to admit that this is the way forward in our democratic world with prices of resources fluctuating up and down on a daily basis. This development could not come at a better time when efficient use of manpower is surely one way of securing a profitable business.

We have also to mention that the ever- increasing cost of transport, will surely add a profit to those who can optimise on the use of this technology which can help in the logistics of servicing the battery.

This development is the result of extensive research and development Abertax has done through their team of experts. KD Merz who has a vast experience in the battery industry and needs no introduction has been instrumental with his guidance to the team of researchers headed by Professor Dr Joseph Cilia. This innovation can also be embedded in their intelligent battery concept which has already been licensed to various battery manufacturers. This creativity comes at the right time for an industry which seems to be booming again.
