Built-in functionalities

Robust is designed to support stable, efficient, and predictable charging performance in demanding industrial and OEM environments. Each function is integrated to reduce system risk, simplify integration, and ensure consistent operation across varying battery types, duty cycles, and operating conditions. They form a robust industrial charging platform optimized for long service life, energy efficiency, and reliable operation in global industrial markets.

Industrial Performance and Reliability

Engineered for heavy duty operations in harsh environments

Robust chargers are designed for continuous operation in demanding heavy-duty industrial applications, including material handling equipment and construction equipment. A mechanically robust construction combined with high IP protection enables reliable performance in environments exposed to dust, moisture, vibration, and temperature variations. Optimized thermal management, protected electronics, and high electrical efficiency reduce heat generation and electrical stress, supporting stable operation and long operational lifetime in 24/7 industrial use.

Platform Flexibility and Integration

Simplified installation and setup across multiple battery systems

The charger platform supports multiple battery chemistries and charging algorithms, allowing OEMs, system integrators, and operators to standardize across different battery technologies. Robust chargers are designed for fast and secure installation in industrial production and field environments.

An optimized mechanical layout supports controlled airflow and clear separation of AC input, DC output, and communication interfaces, simplifying integration, electrical connection, and commissioning in industrial systems.

Applications and Value Proposition

Designed for reliable onboard charging with stationary flexibility

Robust is the preferred charging platform for applications that require predictable onboard charging performance under demanding operating conditions, such as material handling equipment, automated guided vehicles (AGVs), construction equipment and other heavy-duty machines. Engineered for long term electrical stability and continuous operation. Robust reduces operational risk and supports stable battery behavior where uptime, safety, and reliability are critical.

While optimized for onboard integration, the platform is equally suitable for stationary industrial installations, delivering the same long service life and controlled charging performance in global industrial environments.

Built to support reliable operation across the full system lifecycle

The Robust charger platform is engineered to deliver long term value throughout its entire operational lifecycle. By combining industrial-grade electrical stability, high reliability under continuous operation, and predictable charging behavior, Robust supports efficient daily operation while minimizing system risk and unplanned downtime.

The result is a charging solution that helps protect battery health, supports consistent machine availability, and contributes to a lower total cost of ownership for OEMs and operators over time.
