PowerTech and Shark Robotics partnership to fight COVID-19

PowerTech and Shark Robotics partnership to fight COVID
We are pleased to announce our partnership with the French Start Up Shark Robotics, which specialises in the manufacture of multi-role robots and whose vocation is to keep man away from risk.

Within this framework, PowerTech develops and supplies the batteries (PowerModule and PowerBrick) embedded in these autonomous robots, which are very robust and designed to replace man in delicate situations.

For example, the Colossus robot, a cute 500 kg baby, helped save Notre-Dame de Paris from flames in 2019
by manoeuvring the fire hose as close to the fire as possible, where the firefighters could not get to without risk to their lives.

With the COVID-19 pandemic, Shark Robotics has designed a new robot called “RHYNO PROTECT” whose mission is to spray disinfectant solutions over 20 000 m² in less than 3 hours, i.e. 2m² per second, without exposing humans to the risk of contamination.

Modular, this robot can also purify the air in confined environments, such as hospitals. An air purification option allows up to 99.99% of suspended pathogenic micro-organisms to be eliminated, thanks to a UV-C lamp.

These innovations are being exported, so much so that the prestigious American company Boston Robotics” is going to equip its “SPOT” robots with this decontamination add-on developed by Shark Robotics.

PowerTech Systems would like to honour all the medical personnel for their admirable mobilisation in this crisis, and is happy to participate indirectly in the war effort to combat the scourge that is COVID-19.

PowerBrick-61Ah-48V-and-250Ah-12V

Poissy, April 4, 2018

PowerTech Systems, a manufacturer of innovative energy storage systems specializing in Lithium-ion Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) technologies, is expanding its PowerBrick+ product line and introduces two new batteries: PowerBrick+ 48V-72Ah and PowerBrick+ 12V-250Ah.

The PowerBrick+ product line includes 12V batteries with a capacity of 7.5Ah, 12Ah, 20Ah, 40Ah, 55Ah, 100Ah, as well as 48V batteries with a capacity of 25Ah. Each of them can be assembled in series or in parallel according to the expressed need.

PowerTech Systems is now expanding its offer with Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries of 48V 61Ah and 12V 250Ah for a power of 3200 Wh each.

A large, totally secure energy capacity

PowerTech Systems Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries are fully secured and protected against the risk of explosion and self-ignition. Equipped with an integrated BMS (Battery Management System), the operation of each battery cell is monitored in real time.

Innovative technology with considerable advantages

In addition to optimum safety, PowerBrick+ 48V-61Ah and 12V-250Ah batteries are 2 times lighter, 2 times smaller than equivalent lead-acid batteries. Lifespan is up to 10 times longe than AGMr battery hanks to up to 5000 charging cycles.

Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries ideal for a wide range of applications

  • Marine applications, boats, catamarans, sailboats, electric boats,
  • Caravanning, motor home, mobile home, chalet, cottage,
  • On-grid and off-grid energy use, self-consumption, solar photovoltaic energy storage, wind energy storage,

This event meets about twenty exhibitors, specialists of the automation and robotics in agriculture. Among them, PowerTechSystems represented by Cyril Bergeaud, CEO, and Olivier Lechable, Sales Director.

2 days of exchanges and discoveries in the presence of experts. For example, it will be possible to meet:

  • Head of Robotics and Automation of the Agri-Epi Center at Harper Adams University as well as the Director of the National Center for Precision Farming, (UK),
  • President and Managing Director, Naïo Technologies, Aymeric Barthes et Gaëtan Severac (France)
  • Professor in agricultural robotics and head of the Robotics and Control Group at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences, Pal Joan From (Norway)
  • Member of the Executive Committee of CAPAGRO, Isabelle Monpert (France)
  • Venture Analyst and Associate in Anterra Capital, Dan HARBURG (US)
  • Director of Research of the IRSTEA National Institute of Scientific and Technological Research for the Environment and Agriculture, Roland Lenain (France)

In 2025, the agriculture could represent the 2nd robotics market. To understand and know it more, some essential themes will be deal with :

  • « Why robots come to the farm? », animated by Isabel Báez Betancort, journalist, Spanish Medias Agricoles (Espagne)
  • « The drudgery of farm work », animated by Maët Le Lan, Coordinator Experimental Station, Chamber of Agriculture (Brittany) (France)
  • « The new shift in agriculture », animated by Tobias Meyer, journalist, Traction Magazine (Germany)
