BMS is software designed to keep batteries from failing.
Assign digital identity to each battery, track battery health, voltage, temperature, and cycles throughout your battery fleet. Manage inventory, schedule replacement and maintenance, manage warranties and handle battery disposal from one platform.
- Store, retrieve, replace and dispose of items in a single process flow
- Battery health, voltage, temp and charge cycle monitoring with live data
- Color-coded alerts before battery failures leading to loss of vehicle downtime.
Battery Management
A dead battery translates to a lost truck and a lost delivery.
Battery failure is seldom sudden and unexpected. Over time, voltage drops, temperatures rise and charge cycles increase. The first sign or symptom of a problem is frequently a truck that won't start on the most critical day of the year, unless it is being monitored.
No health visibility
Vehicles won't start until battery health and voltage are noticed.
Untracked inventory
There are no obvious indications of battery stock, branch stock or aging batteries.
Damage from heat or charge cycling.Damage resulting from heat and charge cycling.
Excessive charging and high operating temperatures over time lead to a decrease in battery life without alerting the operator to the problem.
Lost warranty value
Warranty claims and failure history are difficult because of missing installation records and inability to track disposal.
Less break down, longer battery life, reduced operating costs.
Prevent breakdowns
Find weak batteries before they run out so that battery changes can be planned, rather than happening on the road.
Complete inventory visibility
Monitor all batteries from supplier to branch, stock and installed vehicles.
Extend battery life
Track battery temperature and charge cycles to determine conditions that shorten battery life.
Recover warranty value
Keep records of installation and failure history to make claiming warranties easier and maximize reimbursements.
Smarter purchasing decisions
Research battery replacement trends in order to find the best brand / specifications to replace the battery.
Compliant disposal
Trace end-of-life batteries throughout the recycling and/or warranty programs, and keep a full audit record.
Four modules that are interconnected for the entire battery life cycle.
FleetStack keeps track of every battery from its acquisition to its final disposal, providing full lifecycle visibility of the battery.
Regularly check the health of all installed batteries.Check health of all installed batteries regularly.
Monitor battery health percentage, voltage, temperature and charge cycles on each installed battery. FleetStack identifies batteries that are about to fail.
- Live battery health, voltage, temperature and charge cycle monitoring
- Color coded battery status - Healthy, Warning, Critical.
- Service life tracking in relation to the expected use.
Track all batteries from point of purchase to stock.Monitor all batteries from the source of purchase to stock.
Write off the purchases including supplier data, branch data, purchase order, quantity and the value of investments. Track inventory levels in real time, across all branches.
- The information is provided from supplier, branch and purchase order.
- Tracks the amount of purchases made and the value of the investment;
- Live inventory status: Installed, Free stock, Under repair, Scrapped etc.
Record all replacement and determine the cause.
Always record old and new battery serial numbers, failure reason, odometer reading, and tech info when replacing batteries. Historical data is used to recognise problems that are common and to make better buying choices.
- Leverage legacy and new battery serial numbers
- Note the reason for the failure, the odometer reading and the technician's information.
- Report on common battery issues throughout the fleet
Recover warranty value, and manage responsible disposal.
If a battery is at the end of its life, document the battery's condition, number of charge cycles, and service history prior to recycling or warranty processing.
- Note final battery health, charge cycles and service hours
- Recycle and warranty claims are also processed.
- Ensure full disposal audit trail
It takes a long time to get from the point of purchase to the point of disposal.
Record purchase
Enter all batteries with supplier, branch and purchase order information.
Install
Place the battery in the car and start checking its status.
Monitor
Continuously monitor health, voltage, temperature and charge cycles.
Replace
Document battery changes fully including services provided.
Dispose
Recycle expired batteries, or deal with warranty claims, with full documentation.
