Electrochemical systems, such as batteries, fuel cells, and electrolysers, often behave like black boxes. Complex reactions and mechanisms evolve continuously inside each system, but operators can only observe what goes in and what comes out. The internal behavior remains hidden. As a result, failures can appear sudden and unpredictable, even though the early signs of degradation begin developing long before any external symptoms are visible.

Traditional monitoring methods offer only a partial picture of system health. Metrics like voltage, current, and pressure reveal how a system is operating, but they cannot diagnose the internal degradation processes that lead to failure. Even detailed visual inspections provide limited insight into what is happening within the electrodes, membranes, and electrolyte. This lack of internal visibility creates a critical gap between what teams can measure and what they need to understand.

This is where Pulsenics steps in.

Pulsenics turns complex electrical signals into visibility and intelligence. By capturing the electrochemical fingerprint of a system in real time, our diagnostics reveal what traditional measurements cannot: the onset of degradation, shifts in internal resistance, assembly inconsistencies, and early signs of performance drift. What begins as raw AC signals becomes clear, interpretable insight into how the system is behaving internally. This intelligence gives teams a measurable way to assess health, compare designs, and track changes continuously and accurately.

For OEMs, this level of visibility translates directly into actionable outcomes:

  • Detect issues early enough to prevent failures and reduce field interventions
  • Validate designs and process changes faster with internal health metrics
  • Maintain traceable diagnostic records from lab to production line to field
