The speaker addresses a critical intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and battery technology, drawing from their extensive experience at Novum, a company they founded 10 years prior. They note the prevalent claim at trade fairs that AI is revolutionary but caution about its practical limitations. Novum specializes in monitoring batteries to assess issues like security risks, usage duration, and maintenance needs through predictive tools. A significant challenge discussed involves "second life" for batteries—repurposing used batteries for additional applications post-initial use. Early attempts resulted in frequent alerts due to unsuitable second-life candidates, leading to the realization that precise testing was essential. Traditional methods were time-consuming; thus, leveraging AI became crucial despite initial data scarcity. Novum developed an accelerated testing method using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy integrated with self-learning machines. This innovation drastically reduced assessment times from hours to seconds while building necessary reference data autonomously. The approach has proven effective in assessing large volumes of batteries quickly and reliably for secondary use applications within intra-logistics sectors like forklift companies. For further insights or demonstrations on this advanced system, interested parties are invited to visit Novum's booth at the trade fair.
