EnerSys(R) Debuts ZBC Designer(TM), Innovative Cost-Saving Software for Companies Running Lift Truck Fleets
Often, businesses can be confused by the many different choices of batteries and chargers on the market, and they may not understand which combination will work best for their particular needs. ZBC Designer™ software clears up that confusion by matching the right batteries and chargers, and in the correct quantities and configurations, according to each business' specific operational needs. It is truly an industry-first custom solution.
ZBCSM is a program from EnerSys® that allows lift trucks to operate all day on just one battery. The battery can be quickly recharged while drivers are on break, eliminating battery changes even for multi-shift operations.
"With the ZBC Designer software,
Using the web-based software, customers input specifications such as number of shifts, hours of operation, number of trucks, truck capacity and truck type. The software then provides customized recommendations, pairing the optimum battery and charger, while outputting detailed financial, operational and sensitivity analyses for the recommended solutions, including long- and short-term cost savings.
"ZBC Designer software is programmed with the largest technology portfolio in the material handling industry," explains
Long adds, "We can design the perfect battery and charger system for their unique operation, and provide customers with reports that explain the operational and financial impacts — all in 30 minutes. This is a first for the industry."
Because the entire process is interactive, ZBC Designer™ software enables customers to explore the impact of adding shifts, accommodating seasonal spikes, evaluating yearly growth and even removing potentially redundant assets.
The robust customer-focused design makes ZBC Designer™ software a powerful tool for all levels of material handling and lift truck fleet management.
"This software really turns the design of electric lift truck fleets into a science," continues Spaar. "Any fleet owners who want to save money by operating on one battery for multiple shifts will appreciate the custom precision analysis."
