Qnovo, a leader in battery software for e-mobility, has announced a strategic partnership with Sonatus, a provider of AI and software-defined vehicle (SDV) solutions. The collaboration integrates Qnovo’s Health & Safety Diagnostics (HSD) with Sonatus’ AI Director, allowing automotive OEMs to deploy advanced battery safety technology faster, with predictive accuracy of 98.7%.
As the automotive industry transitions to software-defined vehicles, intelligent battery management is crucial for seamless operation. This partnership provides a flexible solution deployable across vehicle systems and cloud platforms, enhancing safety and operational efficiency.
Operational Details
Qnovo’s HSD monitors 12 critical battery health indicators, including lithium plating, thermal risks, and manufacturing defects, weeks before traditional systems detect issues. Integrated with Sonatus’ AI Director, the system leverages real-time environmental and operational data to deliver predictive maintenance, reduce false positives, and enable over-the-air updates.
Technology and Innovation
“Integrating Qnovo’s HSD with the Sonatus AI Director represents a fundamental shift in how battery intelligence enables true software-defined vehicles,” said Jeff Chou, CEO of Sonatus. This collaboration allows vehicles to dynamically adapt to driving conditions, optimize battery usage, and improve overall safety and performance.
Industry Impact
With battery-related losses projected at over $35 billion annually by 2030, this solution offers OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers faster technology deployment, reduced engineering costs, and enhanced competitive positioning. The software-only implementation supports rapid innovation in the growing EV market.
