As a 100% part of the Hoppecke Group, INTILION has been focusing on the development and provision of individual lithium-ion energy storage solutions since 2019. With roots at Hoppecke, the team has more than 90 years of experience in the development and manufacture of electrochemical energy storage systems for industrial applications to the highest quality standards and focuses on the development and provision of innovative, individual lithium-ion energy storage solutions. The product portfolio includes systems for stationary battery storage as well as for industrial traction applications.

The highlights of the project

Detailed customer analysis

Via PowerBI dashboards with Azure Data Lake connection, customer behavior can be analyzed in detail and the data can be reused accordingly.

Direct customer support

Via the Service Dashboard, anomalies and disturbances can be identified and analyzed remotely before the customer notices them. Remote support for the commissioning of battery storage systems is also ensured.

Reliable data

The data resolution can be ensured accurately and in detail with 200 milliseconds.
