A method for operating a switching arrangement of a rechargeable energy storage system, RESS. The RESS includes parallelly arranged battery packs and the switching arrangement comprising an associated contactor for each battery pack. The contactors are configured to connect and disconnect the battery packs relative a traction voltage bus by closing and opening, respectively, the traction voltage bus being connected to at least one load. The method includes providing a window of opportunity in which no request for powering the load by the battery packs, and no request for charging the battery packs, are allowed to be implemented, in the window of opportunity, preventing the contactors to open enabling equalization due to current transfer between the battery packs, measuring the current transfer between the battery packs, and in response to the measured current transfer, preventing the contactors to open and/or opening the contactors.

In order to ensure particularly good protection of individuals in an electromagnetic transport system, a safety area is provided in a transport area. Furthermore, a safety function is provided which, in accordance with a predetermined safety requirement level, ensures that the transport unit reaches the safety area at a speed less than or equal to a safety speed and/or with a transport unit force less than or equal to a safety force and/or a transport unit energy less than or equal to a safety energy, or prevents the transport unit from reaching the safety area.

The current invention concerns a method for wireless power transfer from a charging station to an energy storage element of an AGV, or on an AGV. Furthermore, it provides a charging station, as well as a wireless energy receiving system for receiving energy from a charging station and providing said received energy to an energy storage element of an AGV, or on an AGV, and furthermore a system for wireless power transfer incorporating one or more charging stations and a plurality of said wireless energy receiving systems.

An electrified vehicle includes a front subframe, a rear subframe, and a body that connects the front subframe to the rear subframe so that forces acting on the front subframe and the rear subframe are transmitted through the body. The vehicle also includes a housing coupled to an underside of the body between the front subframe and the rear subframe. An energy storage system is enclosed in the housing and includes a battery and a battery interface configured to electrically couple the battery to at least one component of the electrified vehicle.

An operator assistance system associated with a work machine includes an imaging device mounted on the work machine and facing an overhead line and a pantograph of the work machine. The imaging device captures an input image including a first pictorial view that includes the overhead line. The operator assistance system also includes a controller communicably coupled with the imaging device. The controller generates an output image including a second pictorial view and a first indication element overlayed on the second pictorial view. The first indication element defines a reference zone, such that a presence of the overhead line of the second pictorial view within the reference zone indicates that the work machine is in desired alignment with the overhead line. The operator assistance system further includes a display device to display the output image thereon for providing a visual indication to an operator.

A pallet sled includes a base and a pair of tines extending from the base. A load wheel supports outer ends of each of the tines. A wheel supports the base. At least one motor is configured to drive the base wheel or at least one of the load wheels for driving the pallet sled. The motor may be a hub motor inside the base wheel or the load wheel.

An industrial vehicle including: a direction calculation unit that calculates an instructed travel direction of the vehicle based on an operation position of the direction instruction member; a vehicle speed calculation unit that calculates an actual speed of the vehicle; a switching unit that switches between permission and prohibition of regenerative braking limit; and a control unit that controls traveling of the vehicle. The control unit is configured to be switchable between a regenerative braking limit state where the regenerative braking limit is performed and a regenerative braking limit release state where the regenerative braking limit is released, when the vehicle speed limit mode is activated and the regenerative braking limit is permitted. The control unit has at least one control pattern that switches between the regenerative braking limit state and the regenerative braking limit release state when a predetermined condition is satisfied.
