When looking at the industry of tomorrow, when thinking of the future of technology – everyone would agree that battery-driven energy supplies will serve a key purpose in a wide range of contexts, form automotive to smart home or industrial automation applications.
It’s not only the steady evolution of the battery cell itself: Today’s advanced systems unfold their full potentials only being flanked by sophisticated technologies such as intelligent chargers, modular battery management systems (BMS) and thermal solutions.
In addition, new high power relay developments can handle high loads directly on the PCB and support miniaturized energy flow control.
All this makes it worth taking a comprehensive look on the bigger picture of battery energy supply:
“During the digital Future Battery Forum, we invite the auditors to perceive battery applications as an entire system”, points out Alexander Schultz-Storz (picture), Director of the Cross Value Division at Panasonic Industry, who will speak on the first day of the forum. “How to manage complexity across industries, how to lift the full potentials in a battery-driven world – all these are the questions we are looking forward to discuss.”
