Founded in May 2019, the Turin-based start-up Enermove is responsible for designing, manufacturing and installing systems for wireless charging of electric vehicles in industrial logistics, such as forklifts and automatic guidance systems (AGV).
With the technological contribution of Enermove, Michelin aims to improve the management and monitoring of energy and the productivity of the plant with a view to Industry 4.0, it is possible to eliminate the problems related to the replacement or recharging of batteries, increasing the operation of the trolley and consequently the profitability of the department.
The wireless technology designed by Enermove in fact allows you to reduce the cost of stopping the machine because it allows you to recharge the batteries both during stops and during the various phases of work, maintaining high levels of charge, with vehicles always ready and operational. 24/7 plant monitoring enables efficient and secure energy management.
"We are proud that the potential of Enermove has been grasped by an important customer such as Michelin who will thus be able to improve their plant technologically thanks to intelligent energy management", comments Flavio Cavallo, CEO of Enermove. "In recent months, interest in this innovative technology has grown dramatically: we have received requests for installations, collaborations and industrial partnerships from numerous Italian and European companies."
"The news of this new collaboration gives us great pleasure and pride" comments Giuseppe Scellato, President of I3P. "The start of collaborations of this type, especially with companies so prominent in their sector of reference, in fact, emphasize the opportunity, also for the industrial sectors, to benefit from agile realities and their innovative products, such as those developed by the start-up Enermove".
For Michelin, the gradual elimination of traditional accumulators will allow the elimination of areas dedicated to battery regeneration in the plant with consequent benefits for safety and the environment.
Thanks to remote monitoring of the system, faults and improper use can be prevented and the use of maintenance repairs will be reduced.
