InnoBMS Project update: Deliverable D4.2 – Rapid hardware prototype of the wireless battery module system

The InnoBMS project marked progress toward its core objective: the development and demonstration of a TRL6, future-ready Battery Management System (BMS) that maximizes battery utilisation and performance while maintaining safety and battery lifetime, even under extreme operating conditions.
A key milestone in this journey is the completion of Deliverable D4.2 – “Rapid hardware prototype of the wireless battery module system”. This deliverable represents a major step forward in the integration of advanced BMS hardware, wireless communication, and scalable battery module design.
Following the conceptual phase, the research focused on translating the design (established in D.4.1) into a rapid hardware prototype, with particular emphasis on:
  • Design for automated assembly of the Cell Monitoring Boards (CMBs)
  • Implementation of a wireless interface for battery module communication
  • Integration of advanced sensing technologies to support high-performance and safe operation
This seems a bit redundant.
The work reported in D4.2 is a critical enabler for the next stages of the project. In the coming months, the prototype will undergo functional safety testing, including alignment with ISO 26262 requirements and boundary-condition testing using a dedicated battery test bench.
