Sentry boost for battery analysis and diagnostics
Volytica Diagnostics in Germany has launched a sentry feature for its cloud-based battery diagnostics software.
The vdx sentry from Volytica adds more safety and reliability features in the operation of batteries in large storage systems and in e-mobility.
The vdx sentry is a fully automated overseer of increasingly large and complex battery systems. The monitoring function bundles the flow of information, notifications, and health data that are generated by modern diagnostic programmes such as volytica’s core products.
These values are then continuously and clearly sorted into three basic risk categories: Performance, Safety, and Lifespan. Alongside this, the entire history of the battery as well as information from similar systems and specific instructions for maintenance and operations personnel are also provided.
Volytica offers remote diagnosis, predictive maintenance, and safety concepts for large storage batteries, such as those used in photovoltaic and wind power plants as well as in electromobility.
As an independent software provider, volytica gathers valuable insights from field data that are collected during daily system operation. An additional core service offered by the company is battery diagnosis ahead of the commissioning of battery energy storage systems (BESS).
The algorithms, based on many years of experience, then provide data on degradation, state of health, anomalies and safety risks required for optimal operation in the dashboard.
“Our analysis software is just as relevant for a smooth, safe, and economical operation as it is for the long-term planning of replacement, new procurement, and continuous use. We support our customers through the entire length of the project, in some cases right from the planning stage. We are proponents of “prevent instead of repair” and guarantee reliable fault detection with 100% inspection depth, resulting in enormous savings potential,” said Claudius Jehle, CEO of volytica.
