Problem
Traditional Battery Management Systems (BMS) rely on limited data like voltage, current, and temperature, failing to detect early signs of battery degradation and potential safety risks such as thermal runaway. This incomplete insight restricts the ability to optimize battery performance, lifespan, and overall safety.
Solution
Vocai provides an on-chip, multi-gas sensing technology powered by AI to enhance battery lifecycle management. By detecting small molecule gases emitted from battery seals, Vocai's system delivers early warnings of battery degradation, potential failures, and thermal runaway. The solution incorporates a CMOS-based multi-gas sensor chip with thousands of high-dimensional sensors, providing comprehensive molecular insights. Proprietary AI algorithms analyze gas composition and concentration, enabling predictive analytics and real-time battery protection. This technology extends battery lifespan, enhances safety, and optimizes performance by providing a more nuanced and proactive approach to battery management.
Target Audience
Vocai's primary customers include battery manufacturers, BESS integrators and operators, EV OEMs, micro-mobility companies, and cell manufacturers.
