Integratable, custom battery R&D solutions
We can integrate automated workflows for solid-state electrolyte screening, lithium-metal or sodium-ion research, and nano-structured cathode/anode evaluation.Labman expertise
Enabling your workflow
Bring the precision, speed and safety of batteries development to your laboratory.Smart integration & embedded system compatibilityWe can develop platforms that test battery interaction with control boards, BMS, and telemetry modules - essential for connected devices, low-power applications, and safety-critical systems. Our solutions allow for real-time data capture, BMS tuning, and firmware interaction within the R&D environment.
Sustainability, recycling & circular chemistryWe build systems that help analyse end-of-life battery components, validate non-toxic or biodegradable materials, and support closed-loop testing environments. Our automation solutions reduce solvent use, improve reproducibility, and support ESG-focused innovation in battery development.
Scale-Up, manufacturing readiness & tech transferWe can design systems that simulate or support scale-up environments, from slurry preparation and mixing to assembly and QA. Our platforms are built for traceability, consistency, and integration with manufacturing databases, enabling tech transfer and production alignment from day one.
TIDAS: Automated Hegman Gauge for battery slurry analysisTIDAS eliminates operator subjectivity from Hegman gauge testing by capturing high-resolution images and analysing them using advanced image processing. It provides fast, objective data on dispersion quality, ideal for quality control in battery material preparation. Results are delivered in under 20 seconds, with full traceability and standards compliance.
Glovebox integrationLabman can seamlessly integrate glove boxes into larger formulation and characterisation systems, enabling fully automated, end-to-end workflows for the safe handling of hazardous materials in battery development. By linking inert atmosphere environments with precise dosing, mixing, and analytical tools, Labman’s solutions ensure consistent, contamination-free processing—from raw material formulation through to detailed performance characterisation—accelerating innovation while maintaining safety and repeatability at every stage.
