Boost Productivity

Battery changes in busy warehouses can be slow, confusing, and error-prone, reducing runtime, shortening battery life, and increasing costs. An iBOS system eliminates guesswork, reduces battery abuse, and keeps your operation running smoothly

Time Savings

The iBOS Basic delivers significant time savings by reducing each battery change by 2–5 minutes and lowering the number of swaps by 10–20%. As a result, trucks can operate up to 30 minutes longer on a single charge, improving overall efficiency and productivity.

Extend Battery Life

The system helps extend battery life by improving operational efficiency, adding an average of six extra months to each battery’s lifespan. This not only reduces annual replacement costs but also maximises long-term value from every battery in use.

FAQs

How many battery positions can I connect to one single controller?
You can connect a maximum of 50 positions in one pool. If you have more positions, you will need more than one controller.

The volume is too loud/quiet. Can I adjust this?
It is not possible to adjust the volume, but it is possible to change the tone. If you contact your local Philadelphia Scientific distributor, they will be able to provide you with detailed instructions.

What else do I need apart from the iBOS Basic Controller?
The iBOS Basic will require one iBOS Sentinel for each charger, so the quantity of sentinels will depend on the amount of chargers you will be using.

Is online reporting an option if I purchase an iBOS Basic?
Online reporting is not available on the iBOS Basic. To access online reporting, we would suggest an iBOS Plus or iBOS Pro, they come with many additional features as well as battery data reporting.

Can I connect a TV screen to show the next available battery?
This feature is only available on the iBOS Plus or iBOS Pro.
