Telit and Cleantron use IoT to optimize lifetime and health for batteries in connected environments

Telit announced a partnership with Cleantron that provides a turnkey, end-to-end solution for optimizing the performance and cycle-life of Cleantron’s battery packs. The partnership is the latest example of how Telit enables solution providers in any vertical—including security, agriculture, retail and healthcare —to leverage IoT to optimize and differentiate their products and services.

Cleantron’s new connected battery pack solution provides remote monitoring of the battery’s health, temperature, voltage, current and state of charge data, which are critical for maximizing performance and cycle-life. Users also can track each battery’s location, providing additional key insights into the status of high-value mobile/portable assets such as medical equipment, Industry 4.0 equipment and light electric vehicles. 

Cleantron is using Telit solutions for its P4 Battery Pack—designed for use in light electric vehicles and industrial applications—with the potential for expanding them across its portfolio

The solution is based on ME910C1-WW and Telit OneEdge. ME910C1-WW is a 3GPP Release 13 LTE Category M1/NB1 module, based on the Qualcomm MDM9206 LTE IoT modem from Qualcomm, which can be used worldwide. The ME910C1-WW also has power saving mode (PSM) and extended discontinuous reception (eDRX) to maximize battery life. 

OneEdge is a module-integrated software and services with pre-packaged, secure, easy-to-use deployment and management tools. OneEdge enables zero touch on-boarding, security built in at the point of manufacture, SIM-less cellular subscription management, simplified enterprise integration and more. 

With OneEdge, Telit simplifies all aspects of IoT implementation by saving time and cost, reducing risk and speeding time to revenue by easing deployment. OneEdge-based manufactured products such as the ME910C1 and others have a ready-to-go connection to the Telit IoT platform to manage devices, connectivity and application data to deliver value in IoT. 

Telit’s OneEdge solves challenges related to integration, scalability, management and costs that system architects and their enterprise customers face as they implement IoT to transform their businesses.

“When businesses want to harness the power of IoT, they turn to Telit,” said Alon Segal, Telit’s senior vice president, software and services. “Cleantron is a prime example of Telit’s ability to provide all of the software, services and devices that a business needs to quickly and cost-effectively implement IoT.” 

“Our partnership with Telit means that Cleantron customers can now get the real-time data they need to maximize the performance and cycle-life of the batteries that their vehicles, AGV’s or other valuable equipment they depend on,” said Maarten Kelder, CTO of Cleantron. “Telit is the ideal choice because it provides everything we need—modules, cellular service and all of the tools—saving us time and money versus building our connected battery pack solution in house from scratch.”
