Clarios pilots realtime AI battery monitoring in Europe
Clarios has launched connected services that combine artificial intelligence, machine learning and cloud computing for battery monitoring.
The Clarios Connected Services is launching with a focus on heavy duty fleets in Europe. This combines proprietary AI, machine learning and cloud computing for battery monitoring in EMEA under the VARTA Automotive brand.
The initial product focus in on the state of the battery to help fleets avoid unexpected downtime events and improve operating efficiency. Clarios, formerly the Johnson Control Power Solutions business, and a European fleet operator are using Clarios hardware, analytics and software to reduce unnecessary idling.
Last year Clarios acquired the battery and battery management system unit of Paragon.

By sending drivers real-time alerts on when the engine needs to be started and stopped to maintain the optimum battery state of charge, vehicle idling times can be significantly reduced while still maintaining heating and air conditioning systems for a comfortable cabin environment without the risk of being stranded with a dead battery.
Reducing unnecessary idling will reduce fuel costs and emissions for drivers and commercial fleets. Initial results are indicating a potential 40% reduction in unnecessary idling time is achievable.
The data platform uses the company’s battery development and manufacturing expertise across multiple battery chemistries with proprietary software and advanced trend analysis. It is secure and adaptable for all low-voltage battery chemistries and vehicle applications.
“Clarios has been evolving as a data provider for many years now to enhance vehicle performance today and develop vehicles of the future,” said Federico Morales Zimmermann, vice president and GM, Global Customers, Products and Engineering at Clarios. “We’re also always listening to our customers. Clarios Connected Services will marshal all of our technology to keep pace and stay ahead of the curve of rapidly evolving market needs.”
