How to Automate Battery Test Lab Processes

+ PathWave Lab Operations for Battery Test

Automating battery test lab workflows

Verifying the performance of cells and batteries requires measuring the parameters of thousands of batteries at scale. Test parameters include functional voltage and current delivery, durability, aging/cycling effects, and environmental effects on battery performance. In addition, lab managers must monitor and optimize workflow efficiencies to ensure data accessibility, transparency, and traceability for every test run across thousands of devices under test (DUT).

Automating operations in a battery test laboratory requires a software platform to manage resources, hardware, data, and workflow stages. As the number of battery test bench units in battery lab increases, automation software is critical to maintaining and improving productivity while gaining insights into potential improvements in battery cell / pack performance and life expectancy. Use a lab management platform to plan and execute test procedures, schedule and monitor workflows, log critical data for traceability, and provide management, control, and monitoring of the battery test systems and DUT.

Battery test lab management platform

Supporting operations in a battery test laboratory requires the use of a lab management tool. The Keysight lab operations software for battery tests enables designers and manufacturers to holistically manage their battery test lab resources, including devices, information, and people. The integrated web-based lab management platform automates resource scheduling, execution of battery test workflows across multiple test stations in parallel, and storage and reporting of test results. The lab automation solution is scalable for any lab size. It helps optimize lab operations by automating workflows and quickly analyzing data and statistics to identify faults in batteries and modules. The solution works with Keysight battery test solutions at the pack, module, or cell level.
