At all times, we ensure that all legal requirements for batteries are met. This involves compliance with legal regulations for batteries as well as data integration, automated validation and the creation of product passports to comply with legal standards and improve traceability.
Data integration
Easy integration into your existing IT landscape including IoT/OT/IT systems.
Validation & compliance checks
Automated validation and compliance checks to meet internal and regulatory requirements.
Data notarization
Safeguarding integrity of product passport data to reduce security risk and ensure correct reporting.
Consulting & value added services
Legislation consulting on the boundary conditions for the compliant implementation. CO2 engineering in CO2 footprint assessment as well as definition of reduction measures.
Infrastructure and hosting
The necessary infrastructure for the platform is hosted in a secure cloud environment at AVL.
Platform and application
Software platform and application for creating a unique digital identity for the battery, validate and store data from sources across the supply chain.
Integration services
Seamless integration into the company’s eco-system, providing connections and interfaces to data sources and data sinks.
Driven by our passion for innovation, our digital battery passport is the result of combining the latest technologies, our deep application know-how, and decades of regulatory understanding.
