Lion Power is a material handling automation company headquartered in Greenville, South Carolina, focused on solving one of the biggest operational challenges in warehouse and distribution environments: forklift fleet power management. Their mission is to take the complexity out of power by replacing traditional battery rooms and manual charging processes with fully automated robotic systems.
The company's flagship product, the ionX Robotic Battery Swapping System, is an automated battery-exchange platform designed for high-throughput warehouses and distribution centers. Instead of pulling forklifts offline for hours of charging, the ionX system completes a full battery swap in under two minutes, keeping fleets running around the clock.
Why the ionX System Is the Coolest Thing Made in SC
The ionX system represents a fundamental shift in how warehouses and distribution centers manage forklift power. Traditional battery rooms are large, labor-intensive, and create safety risks from battery acid exposure and heavy manual lifting. Lion Power's robotic approach eliminates all of that.
Compact, Automated, and Safe
The ionX system can manage over 150 forklifts in less than 700 square feet, a fraction of the space required by a traditional battery room. The fully automated process eliminates manual battery handling entirely, improving workplace safety while enabling 24/7 continuous fleet operation. Combined with their ionCore unified lithium battery platform, ionSight telemetry monitoring, and Lion Power APM autonomous power management, the system delivers a complete ecosystem for modern warehouse power management.
The system scales from fleets of 20 forklifts up to over 150, with only four electrical drops required. Peak power control capabilities help reduce utility demand charges, and the unified lithium battery platform (ionCore) works across multiple equipment types including pallet jacks and sit-down forklifts.
Building for Scale with SAP Business One
As Lion Power grows and brings their innovative technology to warehouses and distribution centers across the country, they are implementing SAP Business One with Synesis International as their technology partner. For a company manufacturing advanced robotic systems with integrated software platforms, the ability to manage complex production processes, component inventory, customer deployments, and service operations through a unified ERP system is essential.
Scaling Innovation with Integrated Operations
SAP Business One provides Lion Power with the operational backbone to manage their growth: from bill of materials and production order management to customer relationship tracking and financial consolidation. As they expand their installed base of ionX systems, having real-time visibility across every function of the business becomes a competitive advantage.
Support Lion Power, Support Greenville Innovation
Lion Power is a perfect example of the advanced manufacturing innovation happening right here in the Upstate. Their robotic battery swapping technology is solving real operational problems for some of the largest warehouse operations in the country, and it is all designed and built in Greenville, SC.
