What Is GuaranteedPOWER®?

GuaranteedPower® is that switch. 

 

 

Let’s face it: you only manage power because it is the power train that  keeps your business running. While it is critical to uptime, productivity and throughput for your operations, its not strategic or core to your business. But it is Concentric’s.  

 

Case Study: GuaranteedPOWER Leads to Tremendous Savings


New call-to-action

What is GuaranteedPOWER®? How does it work? And most importantly, why should you care? 

 

Supply chain efficiency is a zero-sum game. Every delay or even point of friction is cost that comes off your bottom line.   

That cost is why supply chain management has become revolutionized. Almost every aspect has become much more predictable by leveraging precision control and insights.  

However, there are a few aspects of the supply chain that have not been optimized to meet twenty-first-century management principles. Of these, forklift power management is one of the most overlooked, despite being slow, manual, unpredictable, and costly. 

During nearly two decades of doing power assessments for GuaranteedPOWER® systems for 200+ contracts, we’ve identified that most forklift power management processes cost 30% percent more than they should.  

GuaranteedPOWER® transforms your forklift (motive) power management and aligns it fully with your supply chain strategy. It makes your forklift power – the “engine” of your fulfillment system – fast, predictable and with a fixed monthly cost. It does this while reducing costs by 30%. 


Who is GuaranteedPOWER® for? 


GuaranteedPOWER® is ideal for high-velocity facilities that run at least two shifts with 10 or more forklifts. 

While single-facility businesses benefit from GuaranteedPOWER®, our National Service footprint allows companies with multiple locations to compare data and set performance benchmarks across all facilities.

 

What Can I Expect Once I Implement GuaranteedPOWER®?  

Once we implement together, the managing of battery power for your entire forklift fleet falls completely on our shoulders.  If anything breaks, we repair it, up to and including equipment replacement. 

First, we perform an in-depth power assessment that evaluates consumption, truck usage, equipment inventories and aging, and operational time studies and maintenance. Then, we design solution options customized to your needs—these can include one or all available power sources available in the market today including lithium, flooded lead acid, thin plate pure lead (TPPL) and hydrogen fuel cells. After that, we make decisions together on a final power system, including providing a hybrid system with multiple technologies.  We install and run a 90-day change management process with your team.   

Finally, we manage the power system on your behalf for 3-6 years and optimize with RAAMS®, our patented predictive power management system that employs sensors and analytics.

What’s the Secret to GuaranteedPOWER? 


There’s no secret. The key to GuaranteedPOWER is twenty years of history assessing, designing and managing power systems nationally.  We’ve executed thousands of assessments, designed systems for hundreds of applications, and manage several hundred contracts, many of which have power systems we’ve managed and improved for over 15 years. 

We’ve systematized our approach, invested in the nation’s only application engineering team focused on forklift/AGV power, developed our own products (e.g., chargers and private label) through strategic OEM partnerships, expanded our technician footprint nationwide and developed our own power management/integration platform, RAAMS®, which we first launched in 2013.  

The not so secret is that we start with an assessment to deeply understand your operations, leverage 20 years of know-how and data, and then design a system together with you that meets your business objectives. 

What Can I Get Through GuaranteedPOWER That I’m Not Getting Now? 

 

  1. The freedom to leave power management to the experts and concentrate on your core business 

  2. Predictable maintenance and repair costs 

  3. Safer, more sustainable equipment for the long haul, not just on day one 

  4. No more downtime or loss of production due to forklift issues. GuaranteedPOWER commits to keeping them running.

  6. Better maintenance that keeps long-term costs down 

  7. A power management platform that gives you access to data if/when you need it (and because GuaranteedPOWER is a national service, you can actually compare data across all of your facilities)
