Dukosi chip-on-cell set for volume production

“We are in the qualification phase with production intent silicon available now, and volume production will commence by the end of 2023,” said Joseph Notaro (pictured) , Vice President, Global Sales and Marketing for Dukosi. The company has customers ready to take delivery of the products.

The systems will be manufactured by Global Foundries in its Singapore facility and packaged by Amkor Technologies

Dukosi is enabling a circular economy by helping to reduce, reuse and recycle throughout the battery value chain.

The company’s intelligent chip-on-cell solution transforms the way batteries are designed and monitored. With a chip on every cell, the solution continuously measures cell parameters, such as temperature and voltage.

In addition, on-cell storage provides lifetime traceability with a unique ID, materials provenance and 24/7 data and event logging commencing from the first instant the Cell Monitor IC is installed.

This advanced cell monitoring technology provides enhanced safety and performance throughout the life of the battery from first life applications such as electric vehicles (EV) to second/third life use in energy storage systems to end of life and recycling..

“Consumer adoption of electric vehicles continues to grow as the world moves toward greater electrification and transition to net-zero emissions,” said Nat Edington, CEO of Dukosi. Considering the potential of over 100 million EV batteries1 coming to end of life in the next decade, designing batteries for sustainability is an economic, social, and environmental imperative. We are already seeing adoption of regulatory requirements for traceability at the battery level, but full traceability can only be achieved at the cell level, the smallest unit of the battery system, to achieve a truly circular economy.” 

Dukosi’s patented chip-on-cell technology with lifetime traceability has many advantages over existing battery monitoring solutions, providing higher levels of safety, performance and efficiency throughout the battery value chain.

For example, during cell manufacturing, Dukosi’s Cell Monitor IC captures provenance data and starts 24/7 monitoring and lifetime data logging of the cell’s voltage and temperature from day one, providing a more efficient manufacturing process and shorter test cycles.

For pack builders, the 24/7 cell monitoring and lifetime event logging provides safer cell storage and transport, pack manufacturing and warehouse handling and improved aging predictions.
