IONCOR

Customer context

IONCOR develops high-voltage battery systems. Battery management is where safety, lifetime and performance are actually decided.

Who uses it

Not an end user with a screen — the integrator designing a pack around the system, and the service engineer reading its data years later to work out why one cell is drifting. The interface here is the data model and the diagnostics, and those are the parts that decide whether the system is serviceable at all.

Delivered by SADE
  • Battery management system development
  • Embedded software and electronics
  • High-voltage battery system support
  • Monitoring and analytics

The challenge

A battery management system has to monitor cells continuously, keep the pack within safe limits, and expose enough data for optimisation and service — all under real electrical and thermal constraints.

Why the obvious solution was not enough

Battery management is too safety-critical and too product-specific to hand to a generic platform. The system has to be designed around the actual pack.

The SADE approach

SADE has worked with IONCOR on battery technology development since 2020, spanning embedded software, electronics and connected monitoring.
