Scenarios
For automakers
-
Leveraging our X-ray computed tomography system, automakers can perform comprehensive inspections at the end of the pack assembly line, to detect tears in wiring and bonding internal defects, misalignments, or structural anomalies, improve quality assurance processes. All without dismantling the battery pack.
-
A few layers of inspection: Safety and integrity; Internal formation; precise identification and analysis of faults and their location; A calculated recommendation enabling an informed Safety/Reuse/Recycle decision.
-
In many occasions, battery packs recalls are published on the grounds of physical deformation. In such cases, there is limited ability to actually determine if a specific pack "suffers" from the said fault, and the whole batch is excluded and recycled. With INNER's CT, automakers can inspect each pack to validate the existence of the fault or the lack thereof, to enable the continuation of the use of the pack.
For Recyclers
Scenarios
-
In order to receive incoming packs in an unknown state of health and integrity, there should be safety screening at the gate of the facility, before discharge takes place, by detecting potential hazards within batteries, such as internal damage or thermal runaway risks, our technology helps recyclers implement targeted safety protocols, reducing the risk of fires during the recycling process.
-
Leveraging our system, recyclers can easily visualize the internal setting and formation of the modules and all of the other components of the pack, without opening it. This way, there will be no need to use sketches of the pack's internal structure.
-
Our X-ray technology enables precise identification and analysis, of various battery faults, including cracks, swellings, deformations. This improves recycling efficiency and ensures proper handling of different battery chemistries, while maintaining high-quality output for downstream processes. With precise identification of the fault detected and its location, one can make an better informed reuse/recycle decision.
For BESS (Battery Energy storage systems) Builders
Scenarios
-
Leveraging our X-ray computed tomography system, BESS builders can perform comprehensive inspections at the end of the pack assembly line, to detect tears in wiring and bonding internal defects, misalignments, or structural anomalies, improve quality assurance processes. All without dismantling the battery pack.
-
Our CT scan and AI analysis system is crucial for BESS builders repurposing EV batteries. It provides detailed internal imaging of complete battery packs, detecting structural anomalies or hidden defects. This ensures only safe, structurally sound batteries are integrated into second-life storage systems, enhancing reliability and safety at the gate
-
Our CT scan machine with AI analysis revolutionizes BESS maintenance. It provides comprehensive, non-invasive inspection of entire battery packs, detecting potential faults before they escalate. This minimizes downtime, and ensures overall optimal performance. Invest in our technology to enhance reliability, reduce maintenance costs, and maximize the efficiency of your projects.
Cell Producers
Scenarios
-
Our technology provides cell producers access to the largest global database of EV battery cells and packs images - taken from the battery pack level.
This enables for a unique, long term ongoing tracking and monitoring analysis of the cells and modules to identify unknown patterns: uniformity, positioning of internal components, degradation and irregularities to facilitate improvement of the cell and pack design.
