SCT Introduces IoTAh, Cellular & Cloud-based Forklift Truck Monitor
ORLANDO, Fl., January 15, 2024
Smart Charging Technologies (SCT) is pleased to announce the launch of IoTAh®, an innovative, cellular and cloud-based forklift truck monitoring and data logging device. IoTAh offers fleet managers an affordable tool, with no monthly subscriptions, to manage their forklift truck fleets through operational diagnostics, right sizing, and effective fleet management.
IoTAh® logs and stores all forklift truck operational data, including in-use and idle times/cycles, shift and daily usage data, in-use Ahrs, kWhrs, EBUs, and battery voltages. Truck & fleet data are transmitted wirelessly from the IoTAh device to the IoTAh-View cloud app through cellular networks, eliminating the need for local access points and routers while extending the device connectivity and range. The IoTAh-View cloud app allows fleet managers to manage all forklift truck assets centrally, analyze operational data, optimize truck and fleet utilization, generate performance reports, and troubleshoot truck or battery issues. In addition, wireless cloud integration allows for remote firmware and software updates, enabling new functionalities to be added to the IoTAh devices with minimal effort.
“IoTAh is an affordable and innovative forklift truck monitoring device that allows fleet managers to effectively manage their forklift truck fleets without incurring monthly subscription costs,” comments Dr. Nasser Kutkut, CEO of Smart Charging Technologies. “We are simply democratizing forklift truck monitoring, thus allowing owners of small and medium-size fleets to gain more insights into their fleet operations,” added Dr. Kutkut.
IoTAh is an easy-to-install monitoring device that can be easily fitted on existing and new forklift trucks. The IoTAh devices can be easily setup and configured using a dedicated iOS and Android mobile app as well as through the IoTAh-view cloud app.

Should You Convert to Lithium? Only If the Data Supports It
Lithium conversion is one of the biggest topics in electric forklift operations right now. Faster charging.Less maintenance.Longer lifespan. On paper, it makes sense. But here’s the question more operators are starting to ask: Do we actually need to convert — or are we making the decision too early? Across many operations, the challenge isn’t choosing the wrong technology. It’s making…
