In the real world, energy is not simply managed. It must be monitored, protected and controlled reliably throughout the entire battery lifecycle.<\/p>\n
That is why we develop and manufacture complete lithium battery systems for AGVs, lighting towers, small electric vehicles, and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS).<\/p>\n
At the heart of every system is Archimede BMS<\/b>, our proprietary Battery Management System designed to transform a battery pack into a safe, controllable, and easily integrated industrial asset.<\/p>\n When evaluating an industrial battery, the focus is not limited to capacity, voltage, or runtime.<\/p>\n For designers, system integrators, and plant managers, the key priorities are:<\/p>\n An advanced BMS helps achieve these objectives by continuously monitoring cells, temperatures, currents, and battery health status.<\/p>\n Less downtime and fewer anomalies<\/b><\/p>\n Advanced protection systems based on temporal filters, hysteresis, and state-machine logic reduce false alarms and unnecessary shutdowns without compromising system safety.<\/p>\n Extended lithium battery life<\/b><\/p>\n Intelligent balancing and controlled management of operating limits reduce cell stress and help maintain stable performance over time.<\/p>\n Reduced integration time<\/b><\/p>\n Thanks to pre-configured profiles and drivers already available for major industrial devices, the time required to integrate the battery into the system is significantly reduced.<\/p>\n Reliable data for maintenance and service<\/b><\/p>\n SOC, SOH, charged and discharged energy, diagnostic logs, and operating data simplify maintenance activities and speed up troubleshooting.<\/p>\n 1. Cell-by-Cell monitoring and temperature control<\/b><\/p>\n The quality of a Battery Management System starts with measurement accuracy.<\/p>\n Archimede BMS continuously monitors:<\/p>\n This approach allows anomalies to be identified before they become failures or cause system downtime.<\/p>\n 2. Advanced protection functions for industrial lithium batteries<\/b><\/p>\n Protection systems are not simply software thresholds.<\/p>\n They are control logics specifically designed to ensure predictable and safe battery behavior under all operating conditions.<\/p>\n Key features include:<\/p>\n The result is an industrial battery that behaves like a mature, reliable product rather than a simple prototype.<\/p>\n 3. Intelligent cell balancing<\/b><\/p>\n Balancing is one of the most important factors in preserving lithium battery efficiency.<\/p>\n Archimede BMS uses configurable balancing strategies based on:<\/p>\n This approach delivers greater effectiveness, lower invasiveness, and improved long-term performance predictability.<\/p>\n 4. Advanced SOC, SOH and energy calculation<\/b><\/p>\n One of the key strengths of Archimede BMS is the quality of the information it provides.<\/p>\n The system calculates:<\/p>\n State of Charge (SOC)<\/b><\/p>\n Based on coulomb-counting algorithms corrected through:<\/p>\n State of Health (SOH)<\/b><\/p>\n Evaluated through models that consider:<\/p>\n Charged and Discharged Energy<\/b><\/p>\n Continuous monitoring of transferred kWh for performance analysis and predictive maintenance.<\/p>\n Future development: UKF-Based SOC Estimation<\/b><\/p>\n We are currently developing an SOC estimation system based on the Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF)<\/b>.<\/p>\n This approach will provide:<\/p>\n 5. Advanced logging for analysis and diagnostics<\/b><\/p>\n In many industrial applications, data is critical.<\/p>\n For this reason, Archimede BMS includes an SD-card logging system specifically designed to ensure:<\/p>\n When it becomes necessary to reconstruct an event or investigate an anomaly, data remains available and accessible.<\/p>\n An industrial battery must integrate seamlessly with the rest of the system. Archimede BMS includes ready-to-use profiles and drivers for:<\/p>\n What is a battery management system (BMS)?<\/b><\/p>\n A Battery Management System (BMS) is the electronic system that monitors, protects, and controls a lithium battery.<\/p>\n Its role is to ensure safety, reliability, and long-term performance by managing parameters such as cell voltage, current, temperature, and state of charge.<\/p>\n Why Is a BMS essential in industrial lithium batteries?<\/b><\/p>\n In industrial applications, a battery must do more than store energy\u2014it must operate reliably and predictably.<\/p>\n An advanced BMS protects cells from critical operating conditions, reduces the risk of downtime, extends system life, and provides valuable maintenance and diagnostic data.<\/p>\n What data does a BMS monitor?<\/b><\/p>\n A Battery Management System continuously monitors:<\/p>\n This information provides a real-time picture of battery operating status.<\/p>\n What is the difference between a BMS and an EMS?<\/b><\/p>\n The BMS (Battery Management System)<\/b> manages the battery itself and ensures its proper operation.<\/p>\n The EMS (Energy Management System)<\/b> operates at a higher level and coordinates energy flows throughout the entire system, managing batteries, inverters, photovoltaic generation, the electrical grid, and loads.<\/p>\n In a BESS installation, BMS and EMS work together but perform different functions.<\/p>\n Is a BMS necessary in a BESS System?<\/b><\/p>\n Yes.<\/p>\n In a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), the BMS is essential for monitoring battery status, applying safety protections, managing operating limits, and providing reliable data to the inverter and EMS.<\/p>\n Without a suitable BMS, proper system operation cannot be guaranteed.<\/p>\n How is state of charge (SOC) calculated?<\/b><\/p>\n State of Charge (SOC) represents the amount of energy available in the battery compared to its total capacity.<\/p>\n Advanced systems use coulomb-counting algorithms corrected through models that account for temperature, energy efficiency, and battery operating conditions to provide more accurate estimations.<\/p>\n What is state of health (SOH)?<\/b><\/p>\n State of Health (SOH) indicates the level of battery aging compared to its original condition.<\/p>\n This parameter helps evaluate remaining capacity, monitor degradation over time, and plan maintenance or replacement activities.<\/p>\n Which communication protocols does Archimede BMS support?<\/b><\/p>\n Archimede BMS supports several communication interfaces commonly used in industrial and vehicle applications, including:<\/p>\n CANopen solutions are also available for industrial automation architectures.<\/p>\n Which applications can use Archimede BMS?<\/b><\/p>\n Archimede BMS is designed for industrial applications requiring high reliability and simplified integration, including:<\/p>\n How can battery compatibility with Archimede BMS be evaluated?<\/b><\/p>\n For a preliminary assessment, it is generally sufficient to provide:<\/p>\n This allows rapid compatibility verification and identification of any customization requirements.<\/p>\n AGVs<\/b><\/p>\n Lighting towers<\/b><\/p>\n Small electric vehicles<\/b><\/p>\n BESS<\/b><\/p>\n Archimede BMS was developed to meet the needs of OEMs, system integrators, and industrial machine manufacturers looking for a lithium battery solution that is easy to integrate and ready for mass production.<\/p>\n If you are developing an AGV, LED lighting tower, small electric vehicle, or BESS project, we can quickly assess compatibility with your application.<\/p>\n To perform an evaluation, simply provide:<\/p>\n We will provide:<\/p>\n Want
