Real Autonomy. Real Impact.
Autonomous operations create real value: lower operating costs, higher productivity and minimized risk.
Five levels of autonomy, at the pace your site needs
Every case starts with Lv.1 data connection and moves up one level at a time to fit the site.
Autonomy at work on real sites
Over-discharge fire-risk detection and automatic control for batteries
Predicts battery fire risk and automatically stops discharge equipment depending on the risk level.
01. The Challenge
A customer that recycles used EV batteries runs a discharge process to remove residual energy before the batteries are shredded. During over-discharge, batteries can become unstable and overheat or catch fire, so workers had to monitor battery condition continuously with thermal cameras and discharge data.
Watching many batteries in real time required considerable staff and operating cost, and relying on workers' judgment and response limited how early warning signs could be caught and how quickly the team could react.
02. Our Solution
Modapl integrated data from the battery discharge equipment and used AI models to analyze normal discharge patterns and warning signs, assessing each battery's condition and fire-risk level. When the risk exceeds a preset threshold, an AI agent works with the existing equipment's control system to request a stop to discharging and immediately alerts the person in charge.
It also provides the warning signs and key analysis results so staff can identify the cause and decide on follow-up actions. These automatic responses were designed to stay within the existing equipment's control permissions and safety standards.
03. The Outcome
Instead of workers constantly watching thermal cameras and discharge status, AI now analyzes warning signs in real time and automatically takes the necessary safety actions, improving both the safety and efficiency of the discharge process.
What’s next : Lv.3 → Lv.5
The system can expand to an autonomous discharge process that optimizes discharge current and speed for each battery's condition and process conditions, balancing safety and throughput.
