Battery monitoring and diagnostics system

Monitor charge, temperature, cycles, events and the voltage of individual cells from one control panel with data history.

  • All installations on one screen
  • Data for every individual cell
  • History and trend tracking
Control panel monitoring 26 battery installations
Overview of all battery installationsThe control panel brings together 26 installations and shows their status on one screen.

All battery installations in one control panel

Digital Planet develops software for centralised monitoring of battery systems. The platform receives the information that a compatible battery management controller — a BMS — already measures and stores it for later analysis.

From one screen you see which installations are active, which operate within normal limits and which show deviations or interrupted communication. Instead of a single momentary reading, you get a history that allows changes and trends to be tracked over time.

The values above refer to the installation presented here. The capacity of each new solution is determined by the equipment and the requirements of the project.

What you can monitor

Status of all installations

The main dashboard shows the connected systems, their current status and any registered deviations. This way you see where attention is needed without checking every device separately.

Charge and battery condition

The available data on charge, number of cycles and estimated battery condition is monitored. Comparison over time helps establish whether wear is progressing normally or requires an additional check.

Voltage of every cell

The voltage of individual cells is visualised and compared over time. This makes it possible to notice cells that deviate from the others in the system.

Temperature

Temperature values are compared between devices and against their previous readings. An unusual rise in temperature can be a signal that a technical check is needed.

Events and deviations

The system records the registered events and arranges them by type and frequency. This helps identify recurring problems and focus attention on the most frequent causes.

Analysis of events by type and frequencyIn the system presented, 191 events were recorded over one year. Grouping them shows which deviations recur most often.
Monitoring the voltage of 16 battery cells
Monitoring every cell individuallyThe voltage of 16 cells is compared over time. The colour coding shows the deviation from the average value of the system.
Chart of battery condition against completed cycles
Tracking condition and wearCondition data is compared with the number of completed cycles in order to track the development of every battery system.
Comparison of temperatures between battery devices
Comparison of temperatures between devicesAverage temperature values are compared between individual devices in order to detect unusual differences and trends.

How battery monitoring works

1.Receiving data from the controller

We connect the software to the compatible battery management controller. It provides the available measurements for charge, temperature, cycles, events and cell voltage.

2.Periodic recording

The data is read and stored at a predefined interval. In the system presented this happens every few minutes, but the frequency can be configured for the project.

3.Visualisation and history

Momentary values are arranged into a time history. This allows periods, devices and individual cells to be compared instead of relying on a single reading.

4.Detecting deviations

The control panel shows the registered events and the values outside the configured limits. This assists the technical team in determining the necessary checks and actions.

What the system gives you

Earlier detection of deviations

Gradual changes in capacity, temperature or cell voltage can be noticed before they turn into a visible problem.

History for every device

You can go back to a specific period and check what the values were before, during and after a registered event.

Centralised overview

All connected battery systems are monitored from one dashboard, without opening a separate interface for each device.

Better planning of maintenance

The data and trends assist in planning checks, servicing and replacement. The software does not replace technical maintenance; it provides more information for planning it.

Control over the data

The system can be deployed on the client's server or in infrastructure provided by Digital Planet. The retention period is determined by the project requirements.

How it is used in daily work

During a daily checkYou open the control dashboard and immediately see which systems are active, which operate normally and which need attention.
When a problem is suspectedYou check the history of voltage, temperature and events for the specific device and compare the individual cells.
When planningYou compare the condition of the systems against the completed cycles and use the data when planning maintenance or replacement.

Software, connection and full deployment

The software can be integrated with compatible controllers you already use. Before the project starts we check the type of equipment, the communication interface, the available data and the integration options.

Where needed, Digital Planet can provide the necessary connection device, the configuration, the deployment and the testing of the whole solution.

Frequently asked questions

What is a BMS?

A BMS is a battery management controller. It monitors the available indicators such as charge, temperature, cycles and the voltage of individual cells. Digital Planet's software receives this data, stores it and presents it in a common control panel.

What data can be monitored?

That depends on the information provided by the specific controller. In the system presented, charge, condition, temperature, cycles, events and the voltage of individual cells are monitored.

Can the software connect to an existing controller?

Yes, when the controller has a supported communication interface and provides the necessary data. Compatibility is established through a preliminary technical analysis.

How often is the data updated?

The interval is configured according to the equipment and the project requirements. In the solution presented, the data is recorded every few minutes.

Can the system predict the exact date of a failure?

No. The software cannot guarantee an exact date of failure. It shows history, trends and deviations that help the technical team make better-informed decisions.

Does the software replace physical maintenance?

No. The system assists planning and diagnostics, but it does not replace technical checks, measurements and on-site maintenance.

Where is the data stored?

The data can be stored on the client's server or in infrastructure provided by Digital Planet. The retention period and access are defined during the development of the project.

How is the price determined?

The price depends on the number of devices, the type of controllers, the communication method, the recording frequency, the required reports, user roles and the chosen infrastructure.
