ARMOR 3™ bolts onto any battery-powered equipment with a starter battery. Real deployments from the field.
ARMOR™ is inside thousands of cleaning machines nationwide, most notably floor cleaning equipment. Customers rely on it for cleaning confirmation, planned maintenance, and capital planning.
ARMOR™ bolts onto any battery-powered equipment with a starter battery. Forklifts, people movers, cleaning machines, and delivery trucks, all with a simple ARMOR 3™ install. Supports 8 to 70 volts.
ARMOR™ rides with 24V 315 amp lithium batteries powering robot scrubbers at 600 retail locations. These batteries outlive the scrubber and transfer to new equipment, with ARMOR™ following each one to EPA recycling at end of life.
ARMOR™ measures voltage, runtime, GPS, and impact with just two wires. Two more measure independent AC and DC motors, and one digital output powers a contact, siren, or strobe for any custom build.
ARMOR 3™ is a legacy product and is not available for sale. For support, parts, or reseller and volume program inquiries
