Tennant Company Introduces Lithium-Ion Technology to AMR (Autonomous Mobile Robot) Floor Cleaning Machines - Seite 2

Lithium-ion provides several benefits for Tennant’s AMR machines and customers compared to flooded lead-acid batteries, including,

• Maximized Productivity: Up to 25% to 60% more cleaning time, depending on model, which ultimately leads to more hours that employees can be redeployed to do other value-added tasks, such as stocking shelves, receiving goods, cleaning restrooms, and assisting customers, staff or students.
• Improved Uptime: Lithium-ion batteries allow opportunity charging; customers can plug in the robotic scrubber any time, even if the battery isn’t full discharged. This offers increased uptime of the machine, without risk of degrading the battery.
• Simplified Operations: A maintenance-free battery that does not require watering helps simplify operator training and reduces the risk of operator misuse and abuse.
• Reduced Costs: Eliminating battery watering and allowing opportunity charging deliver operational cost savings. With a 2,000 or more charge cycles lifespan, lithium-ion batteries reduce battery replacement costs.
• Enhanced Safety: No battery acid to worry about and no potentially harmful gases produced during charging like lead-acid batteries.
• Sustainability: Lithium-ion batteries help eliminate reliance on non-renewable natural resources, while reducing carbon emissions.

“We’re very excited about the introduction of lithium-ion batteries to the fleet of Tennant AMR machines powered by BrainOS” said Jeff Heller, Senior Director of Product, Brain Corp. “Simply put, the more time robotic machines are running, the more productivity gains our customers can realize. With BrainOS as the only platform enabling multi-purpose robotic solutions, including Tennant’s Inventory Scan, it’s now even more critical for machines to run longer so they can be utilized more frequently while employees focus on other value-added assignments.”
