WORLD'-CLASS BIG DATA ENGINEERING TO ENABLE BATTERY QUALITY AT SCALE
Glimpse was founded on the premise that the battery industry has spent the last 15 years focusing on scaling up cell production facilities and rapidly improving cell performance, while relying on an insufficient set of quality control tools.
NO ELECTROCHEMICAL SIGNATURE
A wide range of cell defects aren’t detectable with coulometry-based techniques, which the industry has primarily been relying on to distinguish bad from good cells.
LATENT DEFECTS
An electric vehicle (EV) carrying a defective cell may drive smoothly for a few thousand miles before any indication of pack failure emerges.
Just like raw materials or production capacity, we see battery quality as a major bottleneck to the electrification of everything. One that is underestimated and underserved.
GLIMPE’S IMPACT
By building the world's most scalable battery quality monitoring platform, Glimpse helps battery producers and buyers:
DRASTICALLY REDUCE BATTERY PACK FIELD FAILURES.
SHORTEN BATTERY FACTORY RAMP UP TIMELINES.
ACCELERATE THE INTRODUCTION OF NEW BATTERY DESIGNS.
STREAMLINE THE QUALIFICATION OF NEW PRODUCTION TOOLS.
Eric, Peter and ___ spent a combined 25 years in the Li-ion battery industry. Whether they were working for cell producers or OEMs, every time they faced a cell quality challenge, they systematically turned to the same technology for answers: X-ray Computed Tomography scanning.
When they realized how slow, expensive, and unscalable CT scanning was, Glimpse’s cofounders set out to turn what is currently a low-volume lab instrument into the world’s most powerful battery quality monitoring platform.
