Artificial intelligence (AI) software provider Monolith AI Limited has been selected by global automotive systems supplier Webasto Group as its AI partner for electric vehicle (EV) battery validation.
Webasto’s R&D team is using Monolith’s AI software to make battery module and pack testing more efficient.
The two companies expect to work on numerous use cases together over the next 12 months, with the immediate focus on battery pack screw tightening – the quality of which can have huge impact on battery performance and degradation.
Webasto also develops batteries for a wide range of vehicle applications, building more than 500 battery system prototypes per year.

This work generates terabytes of raw test data from thousands of tests. However, the test data produced by Webasto is not in a form suited to train AI models.
Webasto can instead gain the most actionable insights from test data with an eye towards integrating automated data cleaning and real-time processing data science best practices.
CEO and founder of Monolith Dr. Richard Ahlfeld said: “The work we’re doing with Webasto sets a new benchmark for how a company can use AI effectively to improve processes and products.
“We’ve worked with them every step of the way to identify use cases, prepare data and train the in-house test and domain experts to get the most out of the Monolith platform. The result is an acceleration in battery validation and improved battery quality and performance.”
Achievements and innovations in AI and data analytics will be celebrated at the third annual CiTTi Awards, which will be held on 26 November 2024 at De Vere Grand Connaught Rooms in London.
