Battery charger software: Ametek Prestolite
Power, a supplier of industrial battery chargers and fleet management solutions, has
introduced Auto Range Curve, a software
option for customers of its Eclipse II charger.
Developed for conventional charging applications that use a diverse set of batteries and cell
counts, the Auto Range Curve option has the
ability to accept a minimum and a maximum
amp-hour capacity per cell size as needed by
an application, adding a level of convenience
and efficiency when it is most critical.
With the ability to leverage user-entered
settings with Auto Range Curve, the charger
evaluates the battery’s response to charge current and properly adjusts the curve throughout the charge cycle. The charger also reduces
or eliminates over- and under-current conditions that are possible when exact battery
capacity is not available. With the addition of
the user range and Ametek Prestolite Power’s
proprietary Auto Range Curve algorithm, the
charger reduces maximum charging temperature and returns to the proper specific gravity.
When a company has a large number
of batteries and chargers that change continually, such as a rental fleet, it becomes
challenging to anticipate what size battery
gets matched with what charger in all applications, making it difficult to maximize charge
time and return to the proper specific gravity.
With the Auto Range Curve option, fleet
managers will not have to keep “hard setting” the charger for each application as
frequently. (Ametek Prestolite Power, www.

Mesh storage: SpaceGuard Products has
unveiled its new flagship product line,
BeastWire Mesh Guarding. The new line
is designed to use universal components,
regardless of the application, thereby allowing
SpaceGuard to maintain fewer part numbers
while still fulfilling orders for welded wire
partitions; robotic and machine guarding;
data-center colocation cages; tenant storage
lockers; and pallet-rack safety enclosures and
barriers. Beast Wire utilizes all carriage bolt connections for quick installation without jeopardizing the product’s security. BeastWire also
comes with a host of customizable options,
including various wire mesh options, allowing customers to match existing architectural
specifications or previously installed materials.
The Beast brand includes the BeastBuilder,
a three-dimensional configuration program
that allows users to draw their own wire
mesh partitions with simple point-and-click
technology. (SpaceGuard Products, www.

“Street-turn” software: MatchBack Systems Inc., a software solution to auto-
mate, plan, and communicate street-turns (the matching of import containers and
export bookings inland to minimize miles driven), has launched MatchPodium to
analyze big data and create actionable information that provides systematic street-turn options to planners.
MatchPodium creates systematic street-turns and “what-if” scenarios based on
MatchBack Systems analytics. The company uses big data analytics as a key enabler
to create street-turns before and as they happen to provide new street-turn options
for all parties. (MatchBack Systems Inc., www.matchbacksystems.com)
