NI Announces Software-Defined Battery Lab Solution to Accelerate Battery Validation<\/b><\/p>\n

\nThe new test solution enables EV manufacturers and battery suppliers to meet the demand for Electric Vehicles<\/p>\n

AUSTIN, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–NI<\/a>, formerly known as National Instruments, announced today the launch of its Software-Defined Battery Lab solution. Designed for electric vehicle battery validation labs, the new offering marks a critical milestone in NI\u2019s comprehensive testing capabilities covering the entire, sustainable battery lifecycle from research and development to validation, production, second-life, and remanufacturing.<\/p>\n

\nThe Software-Defined Battery Lab is the industry\u2019s first battery test solution that supports EV manufacturers and battery suppliers in tackling the pressing challenges of time-to-market, cost, and battery performance through an open and flexible approach. Through software, the solution allows battery validation and data management and analysis of battery data, while being open and flexible to scale for global validation testing and adapt to the ever-evolving innovations in battery technologies.<\/p>\n

\nThe Software-Defined Battery Lab draws parallels from the concept of Software-Defined Vehicles, which is revolutionizing how engineering teams bring vehicles to market and continuously improve their performance. As battery technologies evolve and scale, companies can accelerate test system development, maximize reuse of battery testing investments, and connect battery data to improve performance through changes to software.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cWe\u2019re in the nascent stages of the battery revolution,\u201d said Drita Roggenbuck, Senior Vice President and General Manager of the Transportation Business Unit at NI. \u201cCompanies are faced with driving down battery costs, improving performance, innovating endlessly, and scaling. At a time when new vehicle programs are as short as ever, and battery validation and production must scale immediately and continuously through the end of the decade, NI\u2019s Software-Defined Battery Lab offers the step function change needed to improve time to market and battery performance through test systems and test insights.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nUnlike fragmented or closed-vendor approaches to battery testing, NI\u2019s solution allows battery manufacturers to own their test strategy to maximize capital investment reuse, allow test customization, and establish vendor independence.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cAs we challenge established supply chains, it\u2019s critical that we own our test strategy. Owning our test strategy enables us to quickly implement the features we need so we\u2019re not held back by technology limitations,\u201d said Henrik Rudelius, Director, Validation and Simulation, Battery Systems at Northvolt. \u201cWe must make sure we can implement the features to get the data we need and make fact-based decisions. That openness accelerates the product know-how of our battery systems. The validation test data we get from NI systems enables our engineering teams to learn more about our batteries and find ways to improve them even after they\u2019re in the field.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nThe Software-Defined Battery Lab builds upon NI\u2019s core battery testing capabilities, which are based on NI\u2019s proven software and hardware platform, to address unique challenges of large-scale battery validation. The key components of the solution encompass a comprehensive set of software, instrumentation, and services needed to build out robust testing and data management capabilities, including:<\/p>\n

Battery Test Development and Execution Software: <\/span><\/b>Battery Test Software powered by PAtools streamlines testing processes and helps users to interpret and act on accurate and reliable test results. NI\u2019s Battery Test Software provides proven battery testing capabilities out-of-the-box while also allowing customization and extensibility through LabVIEW and other common test software.<\/p>\n

Lab System and Data Management Software: <\/span><\/b>The newly announced NI SystemLink Enterprise software is a scalable enterprise solution for managing labs, improving test operations, and analyzing test results to extract meaningful insights from test and measurement data. It offers lab management functionality including:<\/p>\n
