Supporting the Introduction of AI-Powered Battery State Monitoring Software

Nexty Electronics Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President & CEO: Tsuyoshi Yamada; hereinafter "the company"), an electronics trading company within the Toyota Tsusho Group, is supporting the introduction of battery state, degradation, and lifespan prediction software provided by Eatron Technologies Ltd. (Headquarters: UK; CEO: Dr. Umut Genç; hereinafter "Eatron") to automotive OEMs and Tier1 suppliers in Japan.

Background

With the advancement of vehicle electrification, battery usage in the automotive industry is increasing. This has heightened demand for technologies capable of accurately assessing battery state and degradation to properly manage safety, performance, and lifespan.

However, it is difficult to directly observe the internal state of batteries, requiring state estimation from limited data. Furthermore, battery behavior changes depending on usage conditions and degradation levels, making accurate real-time assessment challenging.

Eatron's Solution

Eatron provides software that uses AI to visualize battery states and predict future degradation and lifespan. This software maximizes the performance, efficiency, lifespan, and safety of lithium-ion batteries. In addition to existing Battery Management Systems (BMS) and physical models, it integrates with customers’ proprietary software and algorithms to analyze battery state of charge and degradation in real time. This enables enhancement of existing systems, contributing to improved battery safety, performance optimization, and extended lifespan.

Introduction Support

Leveraging its extensive network built through automotive semiconductor business and technical expertise in software and battery domains, the company is supporting the adoption of Eatron's software. Introduction discussions are already progressing with domestic automotive OEMs and Tier1 suppliers through the company, with multiple evaluation projects underway.

Through this initiative, the company aims to support the domestic adoption of advanced overseas software technologies and contribute to solving customer challenges.
