Maxell Batteries, Powering the Future of Smart Infrastructure

This overview explores how Maxell batteries are powering smart infrastructure systems, ensuring reliability, longevity, and sustainability.

Challenge

Modern infrastructure faces numerous challenges, particularly in the management of utilities such as water, gas, and electricity. Traditional systems often suffer from inefficiencies due to outdated technology, leading to energy waste, inaccurate billing, and delayed data transmission. The emergence of smart meters and IoT sensors has offered a solution to these problems, but these devices require long-lasting, durable power sources that can operate reliably in a variety of environments, from residential homes to industrial complexes. Additionally, the logistics sector, which relies heavily on real-time data transmission, faces its own set of challenges. Logistic tags and devices require dependable power to track and communicate the location and condition of goods over long distances. In all these sectors, including factory automation, robotics in offshore marine industries, and logistics, reliable power solutions like Maxell batteries are essential to ensure seamless operations, precise data transmission, and the continuous functioning of critical systems in demanding environments.

1. Smart Meter Batteries – IOT

Smart meters are central to the future of infrastructure, enabling precise monitoring and management of utility usage, including water, gas, and electricity. Maxell batteries provide the consistent power required for these meters to transmit data in real time, ensuring accurate measurements and efficient utility management. Whether in residential, commercial, or industrial settings, Maxell batteries ensure that smart meters function reliably, contributing to more efficient energy usage and accurate billing.

2. Factory Automation

A large number of sensors are mounted on industrial robots, each requiring backup power supplies for real-time clocks (RTCs) that match the number of sensors. Batteries with long-term stable discharge characteristics and a wide operating temperature range are essential for reducing the size and increasing the speed of robots, while also minimising the need for human maintenance.

In logistics management systems, which have seen significant growth in recent years, operational efficiency and traceability have been enhanced by using batteries that support communication in harsh environments, such as warehouses. Maxell supplies batteries for industrial equipment, including heat-resistant CR batteries, cylindrical CR, PSB, and ML batteries.

3. Wireless Communication Batteries

In the logistics sector, real-time data transmission is essential for tracking goods throughout the supply chain. Maxell’s batteries power logistic tags, enabling them to communicate wirelessly over long distances without frequent battery replacements. Their ability to operate reliably in a variety of environmental conditions makes Maxell the preferred choice for logistics applications, ensuring that real-time data on the location and status of goods is always available.
