In some organizations, industrial electric vehicles are charged manually. In others, human involvement has already been eliminated and the vehicles connect to the grid themselves. The second is certainly the best option. But even so, in both cases charging takes 6 to 8 hours, leaving your vehicle useless for about 30% of the time.
Fortunately, there's contactless wireless inductive charging now. One of its advantages is that it enables in-process charging (opportunity charging). So that instead of several hours straight, your vehicle charges itself for just a few minutes every hour. That way, it’s able to perform 24/7.
Using the buzzard, your vehicle charges itself. As a result, nobody loses time performing low-value operations such as plugging in a cable, changing a battery, or pressing a button. In addition, you also reduce the risk of human errors.
During charging, your vehicle positions itself a few centimeters from the charging pad. No contact whatsoever occurs. Moreover, wireless charging is free from wear and tear. So your charging system requires no maintenance and you no longer need to replace parts. That's another way to save money, time, and unnecessary hassle.
Every hour, your vehicle recharges. At that moment, its battery has a capacity of 70% and then recharges in a couple of minutes to 85%. Result? The battery never gets depleted, making it last much longer.
Whenever an employee plugs into a socket, he risks causing sparks. In environments with flammable substances, this can be dangerous. Wireless charging eliminates that risk because there is no physical connection between the battery and the grid.
