„Our experiences with Fronius battery charging systems have been so positive that we would like to use
them at other Ottakringer Group sites in the future.“
Bernd Jimmy Breymann
Fleet manager at Trinkservice
/ Austrian beverage group Ottakringer operates its own logistics subsidiary,
Trinkservice GmbH, which is responsible for managing the company’s forklift
truck fleet. In the Lower Austrian town of Bad Vöslau, where Vöslauer Mineral-
wasser AG (also owned by Ottakringer) is based, the fleet managers have equip-
ped a fleet of around 80 electrically powered forklift trucks with new battery
charging technology from Fronius.
/ Energy efficiency is an important subject for the entire Ottakringer Group:
their aim is to continually reduce energy consumption and CO2 emissions.
The Selectiva battery charging systems from Fronius use the Ri process to
charge each battery according to its age, temperature and state of charge. This
minimises energy loss, which in turn reduces energy consumption, while the
gentle charging process also lengthens the service life of the batteries.
/ Together with the fleet management team, Fronius evaluated further poten-
tial savings using the I-SPoT Viewer analysis tool. The fixed assignment of
batteries and battery charging systems has been replaced by a variable battery
pool. The Selectiva devices show the forklift truck driver which battery has
been charged for the longest and therefore is the coolest, extending the service
life of the batteries even further. Furthermore, Trinkservice has been able to
reduce the number of back-up batteries needed, producing significant cost
savings.
