NexSys® Batteries Provide a Perfect Fit

OVERVIEW

After winning an extremely aggressive sales order in the summer of 2015, a Tier 1 truck body manufacturer needed to build the best production plant in North America and get it moving ASAP. The order was for a run of walk-in vans that had to be built and delivered in less than a year. As the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) began outfitting a new plant in the Southeast U.S., EnerSys® consulted with the Ontario-based systems provider that would supply the plant with a custom fleet of 20 Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) units. Each AGV would move the several-ton walk-in van chassis (very slowly) along an assembly line over a two-shift, 16-hour production schedule, with the flexibility to adjust production.
