The term “predictive maintenance” can be translated as “anticipatory maintenance” and, in the context of batteries, refers to the use of data analysis and, at best, AI with the aim of preventing failures and problems.
The standard functions of the battery management system are often not sufficient to achieve reliable results. Many companies therefore use NOVUM’s technology to detect defects or declining performance before batteries no longer function reliably or become a real risk for companies.
How does predictive maintenance work with NOVUM?
By constantly monitoring the state of health, capacity, charge cycles, depth of discharge, temperature and other aspects, patterns can be identified that indicate whether and when a battery needs to be replaced.
With the help of our AI, analyzing the relevant data is quick, uncomplicated and reliable. We work with you in advance to determine what your goals are, what information you need to achieve them and whether there are any special requirements relating to your company or industry. We will also work with you to determine the frequency with which you can provide us with your battery data so that predictive maintenance can be implemented in your company. In this way, we ensure that your battery-powered systems function reliably and efficiently — whether in electric vehicles, appliances or battery storage systems.
What advantages does predictive maintenance offer companies?
Using the latest technology for predictive maintenance of your batteries is definitely worthwhile. Predictive maintenance with NOVUM offers the following advantages:
- Cost savings:
When your systems run reliably, you not only avoid expensive unplanned downtime. You also protect your company from disasters that can be extremely costly or even threaten its existence. Remember that battery fires often cannot be extinguished even by the fire department. With NOVUM technology, you can use batteries for as long as possible without taking unnecessary risks. On-site maintenance can be better planned and is often required less frequently than before. In addition, our AI helps you to make data-based and efficient marketing decisions.
- Reliability:
Reliability is of enormous importance for the efficiency, but also for the reputation of every company. With the help of our technology, you can ensure predictive maintenance and therefore also the reliability of your fleets, systems and battery storage systems.
- Risk minimization:
Without continuous monitoring, batteries pose a risk. This applies to used batteries as well as new ones, as these can also have production defects. If a battery heats up or even has a thermal runaway, you can expect fires, toxic gases or even explosions. With the help of NOVUM, you can detect defects that are often not visible from the outside and intervene before problems occur.
- Increase in efficiency:
Predictive maintenance increases your efficiency in two ways: you ensure greater safety and thus avoid costs due to breakdowns and other plans. You also increase your efficiency by using the collected data to make processes and decisions more profitable. Use batteries for as long as possible without taking unnecessary risks, plan maintenance intervals so that they fit perfectly into your operating processes and make marketing decisions based on data.
- Data acquisition and storage:
The more you know about your batteries and systems, the better it is for your company. The data we collect through battery diagnostics and battery storage monitoring not only helps you to make efficient decisions in the present, but also to plan the further development of your services and your company. Incidentally, all data is processed and stored at NOVUM in certified data centers in Germany.
For which companies is predictive maintenance with NOVUM suitable?
NOVUM technology is suitable for companies of any size and in any industry that want to manage their batteries safely, efficiently and sustainably. We support companies in Germany and abroad. Simply contact us. Together we will see how we can best help you.
