"In-process charging" means that the charging process does not take place outside of the logistics application as in traditional concepts, but during the actual application process of the vehicles. The charging stations are positioned at critical points and thus integrated into the process. These points can be, for example, at loading and unloading stops or at different other stations where the vehicle stops in the logistics loop anyway. Thanks to the automatic and fast charging process that starts at full load, every little break can be used for charging.
The "in-process charging" avoids extensive charging zones, the vehicle availability can be increased by up to 30% and the battery capacity can often be reduced by up to 40%.
Because of these advantages, "in-process charging" could offer enormous cost benefits and soon establish itself as a charging standard in intralogistics and production logistics.
