The Significance of Choosing the Right Battery for Industrial Automation Equipment

Ensuring Continuous Operation

  1. Uninterrupted Production
Industrial automation equipment is often the backbone of manufacturing and production processes. A reliable battery is essential to ensure continuous operation. For example, in an automotive assembly line, any interruption in power supply due to a faulty or ill – chosen battery can lead to production delays, costing the company significant amounts of money. A well – selected battery can keep the automated machinery running smoothly, minimizing downtime.
  1. Scheduled Maintenance and Redundancy
Proper battery selection also allows for scheduled maintenance. With the right battery, companies can plan for battery replacements during off – peak hours, reducing the impact on production. Additionally, having backup batteries in place, which are also carefully selected, provides redundancy in case of primary battery failure.

Optimizing Equipment Performance

  1. Power – Intensive Operations
Industrial automation equipment often requires a significant amount of power to operate. Different types of equipment, such as robotic arms, conveyor systems, and automated storage and retrieval systems, have varying power demands. Selecting a battery that can meet these power requirements ensures that the equipment can perform at its best. For instance, a high – torque robotic arm used in heavy – duty manufacturing needs a battery with high – power output capabilities.
  1. Precision and Accuracy
In some industrial applications, precision and accuracy are of utmost importance. Batteries that can provide a stable power supply contribute to the precise operation of automation equipment. In a pharmaceutical manufacturing facility, for example, automated dispensing machines need a consistent power source to accurately measure and dispense medications.

Common Concerns When Selecting Batteries for Industrial Automation Equipment

Battery Type Selection

  1. Lithium – Ion vs. Lead – Acid
One of the first decisions is choosing between different battery chemistries, such as lithium – ion and lead – acid. Lithium – ion batteries offer high energy density, long cycle life, and low self – discharge rates. They are suitable for applications where space is limited and high – power output is required, like in portable industrial scanners. On the other hand, lead – acid batteries are more cost – effective for some applications and have a long – established track record, but they are heavier and have a lower energy density. Understanding the specific needs of the industrial automation equipment is crucial in making this choice.
  1. Nickel – Metal Hydride (Ni – MH) and Other Specialized Batteries
Nickel – metal hydride batteries have their own set of characteristics, including a relatively high energy density and good charge – retention properties. They may be suitable for certain industrial applications where the operating temperature range and cost – performance ratio are key factors. There are also other specialized batteries for niche industrial applications, and choosing the right one requires in – depth knowledge of the equipment’s requirements.

Capacity and Runtime

  1. Calculating the Right Capacity
Determining the appropriate battery capacity is another challenge. It depends on factors such as the power consumption of the industrial automation equipment, the expected runtime between charges, and any peak power demands. For example, a mobile automated guided vehicle (AGV) that operates for an entire shift in a warehouse needs a battery with sufficient capacity to last through the shift without running out of power. Incorrect capacity selection can lead to frequent recharging or unexpected equipment shutdowns.
  1. Accounting for Future Expansion
When choosing a battery, it’s also important to consider future expansion of the industrial automation system. If the company plans to add more equipment or increase the operating time in the future, the battery should be able to handle the increased load or be easily upgradeable.

Battery Lifespan and Maintenance

  1. Cycle Life and Shelf Life
The lifespan of a battery, both in terms of cycle life (number of charge – discharge cycles) and shelf life (time it can be stored without use), is a critical factor. In industrial settings, batteries are often used intensively, so a long cycle life is desirable. For example, in a 24/7 operating data center with backup power supplied by batteries, long – lasting batteries reduce the frequency of replacement and associated costs.
  1. Maintenance Requirements
Some battery types require more maintenance than others. Lead – acid batteries, for instance, may need regular watering and specific charging procedures to maintain their performance. In contrast, lithium – ion batteries generally require less maintenance. Understanding the maintenance requirements is essential to ensure the long – term reliability of the battery and the industrial automation equipment.
