BMI Technologies Inc. (BMI) was originally incorporated in 1988 as Battery
Master Inc. The Company was founded by two inventors on the premise that the
material handling industry, and particularly battery-operated electric forklifts,
needed a better way of monitoring the state of charge of their batteries. A
battery monitoring system called the Battery Master was developed. It was far
superior to existing technologies and still is to this day.
In 1992, a major interest was acquired by the current management team and in
1994, two venture capital firms made a significant investment in the Company.
Coincidental with the raising of these additional funds Battery Master Inc.
changed its name to BMI Technologies Inc.
In 1995, in response to a growing need to control costs arising from unsafe
forklift operation, BMI began development of an impact monitor known as G FORCE.
It is best described as an accountability tool for both forklift operators and
warehouse supervisors.
Initially G FORCE was a single purpose device to which many features have
been added through the years. The G FORCE can be programmed for any desired
level of impact threshold ranging from 0.1 to 10.0 G. Programming levels vary
according to the environment in which the vehicle operates.
From the original G FORCE, there followed G FORCE 2 and G FORCE 3, each with
special added data collection and reporting features to respond to the changing
and more complicated needs of the materials handling industry.
BMI is pleased to be introducing the newest generation of the G FORCE product line -
G FORCE PLUS RF - offering more
cost-saving and safety-enhancing features with the convenience of speedy and accurate
radio frequency communications!
