Writing for BatteryBits, the Volta Foundation's publication for battery professionals, Glimpse co-founder and CTO Peter Attia lays out the argument at the center of the company's work: the battery industry cannot scale without solving quality.
Peter frames quality as two distinct goals — eliminating defects, and achieving conformance by minimizing cell-to-cell variability — and sorts failures into three levels of severity: performance degradation, functional failures, and safety events. The last two, he argues, are existential for the industry rather than merely expensive. The hardest cases are latent defects such as metallic particle contamination, which cause trouble in the field rather than on the line and are therefore very difficult to catch with electrochemical testing alone.
His case for CT scanning rests on three properties: it is non-destructive, it resolves features finely enough to matter, and it can be made scalable. The obstacles have always been scan time and cumbersome analysis workflows — which is exactly what Glimpse's combination of optimized hardware, refined scan protocols, image enhancement, and an automated analysis platform is built to remove.
