Battery manufacturers are navigating macro-level challenges driven by environmental concerns, regulatory pressures, and shifting consumer expectations. Growing demand for sustainable energy solutions has increased the need for batteries with a lower environmental impact, prioritizing recyclability and eco-friendliness alongside traditional qualities like efficiency and durability. At the same time, manufacturers are under pressure to reduce costs while developing safer, more reliable, and scalable products. Macroeconomic factors such as global supply chain disruptions and raw material shortages only further add to companies’ woes, prolonging production timelines and escalating costs, making it difficult to meet market demands.
Within this complex landscape, a leading battery manufacturer grappled with the absence of 360-degree organizational visibility, a proper and robust IoT infrastructure, and rigid management which hindered them from progressing and accelerating growth in the digital age. They sought a technological partner that could enable them to implement a data-driven approach to monitor their products in the field besides address their unique operational challenges. Their goal was to connect batteries, customers, and internal operations, enabling real-time insights that would facilitate proactive maintenance, optimize product performance, and improve customer satisfaction. By introducing IoT-enabled solutions, they aimed to establish new, flexible business models, such as pay-as-you-use, and reduce costs associated with warranty claims and unplanned maintenance, ultimately positioning themselves as a forward-thinking leader in a competitive market.
