SCS Scheiffele-Schmiederer KG

Gundremmingen (Bavaria), Germany

The timber merchant SCS Scheiffele-Schmiederer KG relies on the intelligent charging solutions from Fronius Perfect Charging in combination with the inverters from Fronius Solar Energy. By integrating the PV system into the new charging infrastructure, the company can save costs and energy while protecting batteries and the environment. The efficient use of solar energy for charging electric forklift trucks helps to reduce dependence on conventional energy sources and further minimize SCS's ecological footprint.

Sustainability at SCS

SCS, founded in 1841, is a timber wholesaler with six branches in Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg. Sustainable building materials were used in the construction of the new company headquarters in Gundremmingen. SCS uses collected rainwater as process water, relies on efficient logistics processes and supplies its electric vehicles and forklifts with solar energy from its own roof.

Efficient charging solution for electric forklift charging

SCS operates 11 electric industrial trucks in Gundremmingen. Following an analysis, Fronius developed a customized solution with 16 Selectiva 4.0 chargers, which supply the industrial truck fleet with energy from the PV system and are perfectly matched to the application scenario. The chargers offer intelligent functions and a particularly gentle, energy-efficient charging process for lead-acid batteries. They are versatile and can charge different battery types, which simplifies charging processes and saves costs.

» "Sustainability is very important to us. We attach great importance to leaving a positive ecological footprint throughout the Group. That's why we regularly put our processes and infrastructure facilities to the test." «

Karl Schmiederer, Managing Partner at SCS

Connectivity and transparency

Fronius charging technology connects the chargers with the "Charge & Connect" software, which enables transparent monitoring of energy consumption. Together with over 5000 solar modules, Fronius inverters contribute to energy self-sufficiency. The PV Connect function enables targeted use of PV energy, allowing battery charging to be planned in advance and self-consumption to be maximized.

SCS Scheiffele-Schmiederer KG using Fronius Charge & Connect

The following improvements have been achieved by the new Fronius charging solution at SCS Scheiffele-Schmiederer KG:

Optimized battery usage: switch to Fronius chargers with LED strips and minute-by-minute display for improved utilization of the battery pool and quick identification of fully charged and cooled batteries.
Early detection of battery faults: Monitoring of the battery pool using Fronius TagID battery sensor technology to detect faulty batteries at an early stage. This minimizes the risk of downtimes and failures.
Maximum transparency: The use of the Charge & Connect software solution gives the company maximum transparency regarding the charging status and energy consumption of the charging technology.

This means that nothing stands in the way of efficient operation without manual checks, enabling ongoing cost savings and energy optimization.
