Frequently Asked Questions
Your most pressing questions about our technology answered.
What devices with batteries do you focus on?
Any device that can provide device and battery telemetry measurements and transfer them via the internet – IoT device. We ingest data via API and send the results of our analytics back to API again, allowing companies to leverage the insights in their portals, apps, and platforms for further processing and actions.
What kind of battery telemetry data do we need to measure and analyze battery performance?
Depending on the type of battery-powered device, we generally need current, voltage, temperature, and energy throughput in time series. Any additional data from the device can be processed as well.
What kind of batteries can you monitor and analyze?
We are battery-chemistry agnostic and work with single-use, rechargeable and even 2nd life batteries. For some battery types, we already have AI models, whereas for other types, we can adjust the existing models once we have enough data and learn usage patterns.
Do you use any hardware to ingest the data and transfer it to you?
Customers with IoT-connected devices send us device and telemetry data via the internet. We use additional hardware if the battery is not monitored and connected to the internet.
Does it have to be an IoT device?
Not really. We can ingest data either from the device itself or the platform that is managing your devices (fleet management platform, IoT management system, SCADA system) or your cloud data storage.
What do you do with the data you ingest?
We use our own big data analytics leveraging AI, machine learning, mathematical modeling to identify anomalies that might result in possible battery failure. We also utilize predictive analytics to recommend predictive maintenance tasks as well as gauge the battery health condition and remaining useful life.
How can your solution help my company to implement battery repurposing and recycling?
BatteryCheck analytics performs various calculations such as the remaining useful life of each battery and suggests whether you should go 2nd life and repurpose or recycle batteries. Depending on your business strategy, various devices and batteries might be eligible for 2nd life repurposing at different times. Once we identify the right moment for recycling, you will receive an alert from our system.
What is battery predictive maintenance and how can it benefit my business?
Managing a bigger volume of devices (e.g. fleets) might impact your SLAs and continuing to service your devices can become financially unviable. Our recommendations allow you to plan your service and maintenance windows, repair or replace potentially problematic batteries and avoid unexpected expenses.
What about data security?
We ingest non-personal device and telemetry measurements, use unique identifiers so nobody can decode any information about the device itself, its location or who is the customer. Leveraging blockchain, the data itself and the results of our analytics are immutable to be fully transparent to our customers.
