Intelligent Battery Recovery Systems

The Raymond Corporation is advancing intelligent battery recovery systems through its partnership with Bridge Green Upcycle, combining AI-powered monitoring with lithium-ion battery recycling and reuse solutions. The initiative focuses on evaluating battery health to identify opportunities for extending battery lifespans beyond their original warehouse applications.

Bridge Green Upcycle contributes patented AI-enabled Battery Health Monitoring Software and critical mineral recovery capabilities. Raymond also operates a battery take-back program and is researching potential second-life applications, including stationary energy storage systems. The company recently manufactured its 2,500th lithium-ion battery, with its technology offering up to 17% greater productivity than traditional lead-acid alternatives.

For warehouse operators, improved battery assessments could support more efficient equipment management and reduce premature battery disposal. The partnership also creates opportunities for recovering valuable materials, while potential energy storage applications could help Raymond develop additional services and revenue streams.
