Prevent premature battery aging

Our Lifetime Monitoring solution tackles the complexity of premature battery aging. The system applies swarm intelligence to enable precise calculations by integrating battery data from the entire fleet, not just from a single vehicle. This approach makes it possible to identify stress factors and detect deviations at cell, module, and pack level early on. The required vehicle data is analyzed in the cloud using intelligent algorithms.

Use of digital twins and artificial intelligence

For every vehicle battery, our cloud hosts a precise digital twin that serves as the virtual counterpart to the real component. This digital replica is continuously updated with operational data transmitted from connected vehicles. To ensure best-in-class analytical quality and minimize uncertainty, hybrid modeling approaches are used that combine in-depth electrochemical models with advanced machine learning methods. Their true strength lies in the reliable detection of deviations at cell and module level, as the fusion of electrochemistry and artificial intelligence enables battery data to be analyzed with exceptional precision.

  • Active reduction of battery-related stress factors in electric vehicles
  • Significant increase in vehicle uptime and user experience through the prevention of unplanned battery failures
  • Solid, data-driven support for root cause analysis in battery systems

Aging prediction

With our self-learning cloud service, you can make accurate, long-term predictions regarding battery aging. This allows you, as a manufacturer, to plan more effectively and minimize financial risks.

Assessing the condition of batteries in electric vehicles, especially their remaining lifetime and performance in real-world operation, is challenging from the outside. Our innovative service is built on in-depth analysis of real usage data from connected vehicles to deliver precise and forward-looking insights into battery health and performance. By combining cutting-edge artificial intelligence with highly accurate electrochemical battery models, our solution fully leverages both technologies to enable reliable, data-driven predictions.

Based on this foundation, our battery service not only determines the current condition but also generates long-term forecasts and identifies critical states at an early stage, ensuring precise calculation of all key battery parameters.

  • Foundation for proactive warranty management through precise prediction of battery condition
  • Extensive prediction time frame: up to eight years
  • Rapid implementation: accurate calculation and prediction within less than three months
  • High reliability of aging analysis and forecasting
  • Increased vehicle availability due to prevention of failures

Lifetime optimization

Benefit from vehicle-specific charging configurations. They will increase battery life, reduce charging times, and protect your batteries in operation.

The traction battery is a key component of every electric vehicle and represents significant value. Age-related performance loss or premature capacity degradation can reduce usable range and lead to unexpectedly high repair or replacement costs. Our cloud-based battery solution provides a proactive answer: it enables precise, vehicle-specific control of the charging process. Through this individualized configuration, battery lifetime can be significantly extended by optimizing charging and avoiding excessive strain. At the same time, charging times can be substantially reduced without accelerating cell aging. This ensures lasting battery performance and optimizes vehicle utilization throughout the entire lifecycle.

Our cloud-based services are tailored to your existing battery type and connected to your established cloud infrastructure.

Targeted measures for extending battery lifetime:

  • Smart charging optimization: our system creates customized charging strategies for each vehicle, helping to extend battery life by ensuring efficient and battery-friendly energy management – even on the road
  • Flexible charging strategies: mobility user can easily switch between different charging modes to suit their needs. For maximum battery longevity, an eco-friendly mode ensures gentle charging. Alternatively, an accelerated mode can be selected via the app at fast charging stations, which shortens charging times without accelerating the aging of the energy storage systems
  • Efficiency via thermal management: by pre-conditioning the battery before charging, the process takes place under optimal temperature conditions, boosting efficiency while protecting battery health at the same time.
  • The integrity and confidentiality of the charging profiles is ensured by appropriate security measures. At your request, we can also integrate in-vehicle functions that pre-process battery data before it is transmitted to the cloud.

Our smart services for battery-preserving charging optimize the operating conditions of the traction battery in various ways and thereby help to extend battery lifetime. Based on battery data from the connected vehicle, the cloud-based system uses electrochemical models to identify stress factors for the battery and actively helps to reduce these.
