Catch battery defects in hours — not weeks. Detect issues and diagnose root cause fast, with data you already collect.
About us
Current battery defect detection methods are far too slow — wasting millions of dollars as you scale up. End-of-line QC take days or weeks after production to spot defective cells and many slip through the cracks. Battery engineers scramble to manually gather and process data to understand the full extent of an issue and diagnose the root cause. Voltaiq helps battery manufacturers identify issues faster, decreasing scrap rate and reducing manufacturing ramp up time. With Voltaiq, battery engineers get alerted to problems within the first hours of formation, just after cell assembly, to find and fix upstream issues fast. You can understand the full extent of an issue in just a few clicks without any manual data collection or processing, and identify which upstream processes and materials led to the defects. From there, quickly generate reports and dashboards to share your findings for faster resolution without having to manually gather and structure your data. Receive dedicated, ongoing consultation from battery industry experts including customized on-site training, process optimization, analysis, and more. Voltaiq is trusted by industry leaders including Freyr, Amazon, Mercedes-Benz, Albemarle, and Lyten. A proud Siemens and AWS partner.

We're excited to welcome Cade Heiberg to the Voltaiq team! Cade has been in the design engineering space for the last 20 years, supporting companies with their digital transformation and lifecycle management. Some of his prior roles include organizations such as Ansys, Siemens Digital Industries Software, and most recently, Dassault Systèmes. He joins Voltaiq as a Sr. Enterprise Account Executive where he will support customers throughout the central and eastern US. Cade received his bachelor’s degree in business management from the University of Wisconsin-River Falls, and his Advanced Master’s Certificate in supply chain management from Michigan State University. When he’s not busy working, he enjoys spending time with his family, hiking, kayaking, and playing golf. Join us in giving Cade a warm welcome!

With the EU slapping tariffs of up to 38% on Chinese EVs, it’s clear that governments are trying to protect their local manufacturing sectors, especially for EVs and their batteries. The topic is hot outside the battery industry too, with posts on Morning Brew and The Wall Street Journal. In this edition of Building Better Batteries: - Nicholas Yiu challenges "the way we've done it before" in battery manufacturing. - Tony Thai, Director of Battery Science & Engineering at Voltaiq, offers clarity on the most mandatory and critical metrics to report on, what areas to focus on for improvement, and how to present data depending on your audience. - Tal Sholklapper and Eli Leland to present "The Digital Battery Factory" on July 16th at 9 am PT with Philipp Wunderlich from Accenture on understanding of the IT infrastructure needed for modern battery factories. (Link in newsletter to register) - Blake Hawley is back again presenting at PlugVolt in San Jose next week. Don't miss his presentation, Electrochemical Analysis to Accelerate Factory Scale-Up, at 5 pm on July 17. In content we're loving: - Bill Gates breaks down his climate investments. - Tal Sholklapper offers his best advice for battery companies. - The Rise of the Clean Energy Megaproject by Michael Thomas.

We’re thrilled to announce Voltaiq’s partnership with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to speed up battery cell production, cut down on waste, and ensure on-time product launches! Voltaiq is now available on the AWS Marketplace, listed on the Sustainability Solutions Library and will be co-sold with AWS’s global salesforce. The partnership brings Voltaiq’s technology and deep industry knowledge to a wider audience, empowering AWS customers in the battery industry to accelerate ramp-up and dramatically reduce battery scrap rates. This offering is especially beneficial for gigafactories, where Voltaiq's solution can reduce the time it takes to reach profitability by months, if not years. “By combining Voltaiq’s deep industry knowledge and leading battery quality analytics software with AWS’s cloud capabilities, we’re addressing the immediate challenges costing battery manufacturers billions of dollars during ramp-up.” Hari G., Head of Strategy, Sustainability & Electrification, AWS This announcement follows our successful completion of the AWS Foundational Technical Review (FTR). This achievement demonstrates our commitment to industry best practices in cloud security, reliability, and performance, as outlined by the AWS Well-Architected Framework.

What does a modern battery factory look like? We get a lot of questions around gigafactory ramp-up and how to plan and build the most efficient, high-yield gigafactory from the ground up. Tal Sholklapper and Eli Leland are sitting down with Philipp Wunderlich from Accenture on July 16th at 9 am PT / 12 pm ET to discuss what "The Digital Battery Factory" of today looks like, and how to optimize for quality and yield during the planning process. With extensive experience in building and optimizing digital ecosystems for manufacturing, Dr. Philipp will provide invaluable insights alongside deep battery industry expertise from Tal and Eli. We'll cover: + Key components of the “digital stack” for a modern gigafactory + The impact of digitalization on battery cell manufacturing + Battery production quality management in gigafactories Save your seat here: https://lnkd.in/eutHGMRw

Battery quality issues in production — more specifically, slow identification of issues — severely hamper both new factory ramp-up and in-field device performance and reliability. By leveraging electrochemical techniques and the fundamental signatures of batteries during the end-of-line process, we can: 1) identify poor-performing cells before they would be otherwise be identified, 2) quickly correlate performance issues to upstream root cause, and 3) identify which electrochemical metrics are best correlated with long-term performance. Next week, in partnership with PlugVolt, Blake Hawley presents Accelerating Factory Ramp-Up and Quality Through Advanced In-Line Electrochemical Techniques. Join us Wednesday, June 26 at 10 am EDT as Blake covers strategies to leverage end-of-line electrochemical characteristics, encompassing thermodynamics, kinetics, and transport phenomena. He'll discuss: • The multi-year, multi-billion-dollar battery factory scale-up challenge • The impact of battery quality variation on devices in the field • Techniques to understand the fundamental electrochemical signatures of batteries • Use of these techniques to accelerate factory ramp-up and improve shipped production quality Save your seat: https://lnkd.in/gjD26VJz

Three problems are top-of-mind in the battery industry: 1. What the true cost of batteries will be 2. How long it takes to ramp new factories 3. Managing the risk of potentially integrating (almost too) cheap batteries into products Tal Sholklapper recently shared how companies can gain a significant advantage in the market by understanding their battery performance faster than their competitors. Real-time visibility into cells leaving your production line is crucial. Identify defective cells quickly, understand the root cause, and ensure your batteries meet warranty requirements. The answer lies in leveraging your existing battery charging and discharging data collected immediately after manufacturing – essentially, the battery's first "heartbeats." This data can be used for: Efficient cell production - Identifying and removing defective batteries in hours, not weeks, significantly accelerating factory ramp-up. Improved quality & validation testing - Detecting quality issues months earlier than traditional methods, streamlining testing and preventing costly launch delays and recalls. The takeaway? Companies that learn and adapt fastest will: - Launch products quicker - Minimize scrap rates and returns - Optimize Bill of Materials (BOM) and operational costs for long-term competitiveness #Batteries #BatteryManufacturing #Gigafactory
