UL-certified ultracapacitors launched for warehouses and smart factories

  

The strict power quality requirements in manufacturing are driving the demand for ultracapacitor-based UPS solutions, and the SCA0300 product platform is suited to systems ensuring high power quality to protect sensitive manufacturing equipment.

The growth of warehouse and fulfillment center robotics is driven by the rapid growth of e-commerce. Changing consumer behaviour and expectations of quick deliveries are creating new opportunities for ultracapacitor-powered solutions in intralogistics where shuttle and AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) manufacturers are replacing batteries with ultracapacitor solutions due to power, reliability, and lifetime advantages.

At 300F, the new product platform is Skeleton’s answer to one of the most popular ultracapacitor sizes on the market and is designed to be easily mountable to PCB boards, allowing efficient assembly for a variety of applications. The high power and thermal characteristics of SCA0300 are the result of the low ESR, or internal resistance, of the cell.

The decision to develop a product platform in the 300F size and form factor came down to significant interest from the market, proven by the various applications already utilizing this cell size, according to the company.

“The new SCA0300 product platform, combined with our ultracapacitor management system and modern production processes, enables us to provide reliable, state-of-the-art ultracapacitor modules at a cost-efficient price point, while still maintaining the highest performance and quality in the industry”, explained Taavi Madiberk, the CEO of Skeleton Technologies.

“The SCA0300 also complies with the strict IATF standard used in the automotive industry, ensuring the safety, quality, and reliability required in passenger vehicles, and also meets the requirements of applications in medical machinery, oil & gas, grid, and renewable energy production."
