Six points to define in the specification
The battery is a machine subsystem. This information is used to define the pack architecture before prototyping.
Energy
Runtime and charging
Target runtime, sequence duration, operating frequency, and charging method.
Power
Load profile
Continuous power, current peaks, start-up loads, and simultaneous actuator operation.
Mechanical
Mechanical envelope and interfaces
Dimensions, mounting, weight, connectors, cabling, and access for integration or maintenance.
Environment
Operating conditions
Temperature, vibration, shock, dust, water, cleaning, and other exposures.
System
BMS and communication
Protection, monitoring, data exchange, diagnostics, and CAN Bus where required.
Batteries designed for industrial equipment
Each application has its own duty cycles and interfaces. The battery is designed around the equipment’s actual function, without imposing a catalogue format.
Industrial machines
The battery is defined by duty cycles, actuators, and available space.
Automation systems and subsystems
The battery is defined by the equipment’s operating sequences and interfaces.
Industrial robotics
Integration for industrial or asbestos-removal robots based on their mission.
On-board OEM equipment
Battery developed as a product component, from prototype to series production.
Cells, mechanical design, and BMS: one architecture
Cells, mechanics, and electronics are defined together to integrate the pack into the machine and prepare it for series production.
Cell architecture
Cells are selected and assembled for the required energy, power, volume, and operating environment.
Mechanical integration
Layout, retention, dimensions, connectors, and access are defined around the equipment’s physical constraints.
Electronics and BMS
Embedded hardware and software manage the protection, monitoring, and communication specified for the project.
Four interfaces to define with the machine
Every interface between the battery and machine must be documented before integration.
Electrical
Voltage, current, power, protection, connectors, and cabling.
Mechanical
Dimensions, mounting, retention, access, and replacement.
Charging and service
Charging method, required uptime, and maintenance operations.
Communication
Status data, diagnostics, protocol, and CAN Bus where required.
Constraints, testing, and compliance
Protection levels, tests, and applicable requirements depend on the machine, its use, and target markets. They are identified during the project study; compliance is not assumed.
Temperature and heat dissipation
Document operating, charging, and storage temperatures, plus heat dissipation.
Shock and vibration
Document mechanical loads during operation and transport, plus the mounting method.
Dust, water, and cleaning
Define actual exposure and the target protection level for final integration.
Functional safety
Review abnormal electrical and thermal states, protection, and the machine’s expected response.
Transport and compliance
Identify applicable requirements, tests, and documents for the equipment and target markets.
From specification to series production
Engineering, testing, and manufacturing follow one process to prepare repeatable production in France.
Specification
Gather the use case, electrical data, interfaces, environment, forecast volumes, and schedule.
Prototype
Build a first pack to check mechanics, electronics, and integration.
Validation
Run the planned functional and safety tests, then incorporate adjustments.
Industrialisation and series production
Finalise the architecture, production methods, controls, and traceability before series manufacturing in France.
