As the latest solution in the company’s line of virtually maintenance-free motive power products, the NexSys AIR wireless charger will help customers drive productivity with a safe, convenient, hands-free charging solution.  

Suitable for a variety of applications, the NexSys AIR wireless charger is chemistry independent and capable of charging flooded lead acid, Thin Plate Pure Lead (TPPL), and Lithium-ion batteries. NexSys AIR also offers exceptional operational flexibility by eliminating connection hardware, enabling the unit to charge a variety of equipment, according to the company.

In addition to flexible operation and installation, the NexSys AIR wireless charger also offers advanced safety features such as Foreign Object Detection (FOD) and Live Object Detection (LOD) capabilities.  (EnerSys, www.enersys.com)

Lessons from the gridiron: Former Alabama football coach preaches the importance of process, culture

If former Alabama University football career Nick Saban could point to a foundational moment in his career that helped shape his philosophy to coaching it would be this: In 1998, his Michigan State University football team with a 4-5 record was headed to Columbus, Ohio, to play an undefeated Ohio State University team. Speaking at a keynote session for MHI’s Modex tradeshow, Saban admitted he did not think his team had any chance of winning. So, he asked his friend who was a sports psychiatrist what he should say to his team. 

“He said you need to teach the team to focus on one play at a time, like [the play] has a history and life of its own, and to be totally process-oriented,” Saban recounted. “Do not be worried about the outcome, be worried about all the things you can do to get the outcome. There’s no external factors. There’s no scoreboard. You focus 100% in front of you and what you need to do for that play.”

The 1,700 manufacturing and supply chain leaders who took part in the survey that formed the basis for the report certainly agreed: 84% of survey respondents said they plan to adopt artificial intelligence technologies within the next five years.
