Revolutionising Battery Analytics for EVs

As electric vehicles (EVs) continue to gain traction, battery safety and reliability remain critical concerns. Inefficient battery management systems (BMS) have resulted in severe safety incidents such as battery fires and recurring battery failures in EV cars, highlighting the urgent need for advanced predictive solutions. These issues not only harm brand reputation but also lead to costly recalls and operational inefficiencies. For EV manufacturers, fleet operators, and battery suppliers, ensuring the longevity and safety of batteries is no longer optional—it’s a necessity.

Leveraging technology for smarter battery management

JioThings has developed a comprehensive battery analytics ecosystem by leveraging IoT, cloud computing, artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning (ML). Smart Battery Management System is a cutting-edge solution that monitors, manages, and optimises battery performance throughout its lifecycle. Key strategies include:

1. Real-time monitoring with predictive analytics: Continuously tracks critical battery pack parameters, including Voltage (V), Current (I), Impedance (Z/R), and Temperature (T). Leveraging AI and ML algorithms, it derives key battery health indicators like State of Charge (SoC) and State of Health (SoH). Advanced predictive modeling further enhances reliability by detecting potential failures and thermal runaways well in advance.
2. Cloud-based AI and ML simulations: Runs stress case simulations to anticipate upcoming battery events and identify corrective actions before failures occur. Cloud-powered analytics generate valuable insights for fleet operators and OEMs, enabling proactive maintenance and enhancing battery reliability.
3. IoT-enabled remote diagnostics with over-the-air (OTA) updates: Leverages an IoT module with Jio 4G connectivity to collect and transmit battery pack data to the cloud for real-time analysis. Remote firmware updates further enhance efficiency by reducing downtime and eliminating the need for in-person diagnostics.
4. Lifecycle management and sustainability enhancement: Supports a zero-emission future by optimising battery lifespan and reducing e-waste. It also enables a Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) model, making battery ownership and replacement more cost-effective and efficient.
