Elfa contributes to soldier of the future

On January 13 and 14, the soldier of the future was the topic of discussion at the Defense Department's Fight Light Symposium. Together with Battery Safety Solutions, Elfa was invited to talk about the latest developments in battery and battery technology and the associated safety.

Overloaded soldier

Soldiers nowadays are carrying more and more technical gadgets, which increases the weight that must be carried by the soldier. The result is an overloaded soldier, which has a negative effect on his maneuverability and survival, among other things.

Because Elfa is not only a wholesaler but also a knowledge center with over 100 years of experience, we were invited to talk about the developments of ‘smart batteries’. Elfa has a lighter ‘smart’ backpack battery that can power (almost) any device on a soldier’s body. This battery is not only lighter, but also a lot safer. This is because it is a battery that does not go into thermal runaway after penetration. Would you like more information about Elfa’s smart batteries? Please contact us.

Custom made exit signal for NS

The mobile marker, originally developed by Elfa Elementenfabriek, has been renewed in cooperation with machinefabriek Bosserveld and NedTrain Zuid. With this specially developed marker, a stationary train is marked at the front and rear. The renewed design is lighter and is now also available for tile platforms and perforated steel platforms (and as always with the clamping bracket on the rails).

Elfa is developing in cooperation with Machinefabriek Bosserveld and NedTrain Zuid a renewed closing signal for NS (Dutch Railways).

The lighting has also been modified, making the marker less sensitive to rain and snow and easier to recharge. This is made possible by an LED luminaire with Li-ion cells that can be recharged via a USB cable.

The marker: a concept within the “world of railroads

For many years ELFA has had the marker posts in its product range. At the time, the marker posts were equipped with an LED luminaire from Nissen and a battery from Cegasa, the rest was mechanical and mechanical engineering. In recent years, the need for a “remake” arose. The marker had to be simpler, lighter and meet customer-specific requirements.

The 2.0 signal post, in 3 variants, has been given the required NedTrain numbers and is supplied by Machinefabriek Bosserveld. We think we can safely say that the 2.0 has brought changes that benefit the user. Elfa was able to contribute to the development of the lighting and is pleased with the benefits it brings to the people who work with it.
