Tata Elxsi's "Battery Aadhaar" Initiative Enables Tracking and Management of Electric Vehicle Battery Lifecycles

In a groundbreaking initiative, Tata Elxsi, a leading digital technology solutions provider, has announced the launch of "Battery Aadhaar". This innovative system aims to revolutionize battery management and sustainability, backed by a consortium including Tata Elxsi, Tata Motors, Tata AutoComp Systems (TACO), IIT Kharagpur, WRI, Lohum Cleantech, Nunam Technologies, and Oorja Energy.

The Battery Aadhaar system is built on Tata Elxsi's Mobius+ platform, a versatile solution that offers automated or manual record creation. This platform is designed to optimize market supply for device and battery manufacturers, while promoting standards compliance and tracking supply chain data. It also works towards improving production quality and sustainability.

One of the key features of the Battery Aadhaar system is its diagnostics for each individual battery on the Mobius+ platform. This enables easier and safer recycling and repurposing of batteries. The system provides real-time analytics and data, which can be used to study entire fleets of deployed batteries.

The Mobius+ platform offers a secure and auditable environment, thanks to Tata Elxsi's blockchain mechanisms. This ensures smart and transparent second-life reuse or recycling, and prevents unauthorized or unsafe usage or disposal. The platform also ensures smart and transparent second-life reuse or recycling, and prevents unauthorized or unsafe usage or disposal.

Data stored on the Mobius+ platform can be stored in a cloud or on-premises, depending on client requirements. This data includes information about overall battery health and capacity, which is useful for raw material recovery and traceability. The system allows users and manufacturers to verify the authenticity of each battery unit and access key information such as manufacturer identity, lifecycle, usage history, and raw material sourcing.

The Battery Aadhaar system also simplifies compliance reporting, making it automated. Car manufacturers can validate battery vendors and ensure regulatory compliance using the Mobius+ platform. Different stakeholders can access different types and levels of data on the Mobius+ platform, with proprietary or sensitive data restricted to authorized parties.

Predictions for battery health and overall life expectancy can be generated using data from the Battery Aadhaar system, providing better after-sales support to car manufacturers based on data and trend analysis. The Battery Aadhaar system factors in emerging regulatory compliance requirements in India, the EU, North America, and Japan, as well as other global "battery passport" proposals.

The framework for the Battery Aadhaar system is based on Tata Elxsi's Mobius+ platform using blockchain technology for traceability and scalability. This initiative marks a significant step towards creating a traceable chain of custody for every battery deployed, ensuring smart and transparent management of batteries for a sustainable future.
