This post is part of our ongoing series on spatial pressure and temperature mapping in electric vehicles. While earlier posts focus on battery packs, here we take a broader view across the vehicle. Battery packs dominate most conversations around spatial pressure and temperature mapping — and for...

Calibration matters: getting your temperature map right unlocks the full value of the system. Accurate temperature mapping depends on more than sensor resolution—it depends on calibration. In systems that measure pressure and temperature simultaneously, even small temperature offsets can influence...

Getting reliable data: how to separate signal from noise when measuring pressure + temperature. Spatial mapping of pressure and temperature is a powerful tool, but only if you trust the data. Real manufacturing and test environments bring noise: mechanical vibrations, thermal drift, sensor drift...

The edges of battery cells are often where the story begins. In battery manufacturing and module integration, one of the often-overlooked aspects is the edge region of a cell, where tabs, welds, adhesives, frames, or busbars join the cell body. In many failure cases or design optimizations...

In EV battery manufacturing, the pressure that individual cells experience inside a pack tells a powerful story. Some variation is both expected and benign: cells settle, tabs flex, thermal expansion occurs. But when early mechanical failure modes begin to emerge, such as gas-induced swelling...

Just like many other industries today, the medical field is adapting more automated technology and systems to improve efficiency and eliminate guesswork. Some diagnostic systems, such as ones used for polymerase chain reaction (PCR) processes, have been around for many years and are available in a...

Design engineers and explorers are similar in many ways. Just as an explorer sees a location on the horizon, but may not have a clear path to reach it, a design engineer often begins their R&D project with a desired outcome in mind, but rarely has a clear plan to achieve it. Certainly, explorers...

It's October, the month of the year where people all over the world proudly wear pink in support of Breast Cancer Awareness. Cancer is a disease that has affected all of our lives in some way. Words cannot do justice to the long and arduous journey that the fight against cancer can be for the...

Part 4 of 5: Comfort & Ergonomic Assessment Pressure mapping helps R&D teams target opportunities to produce a more comfortable end-user experience. In this next edition of "Pressure Mapping: A Design Engineer's Magnifying Glass," we'll explore how pressure mapping technology can help determine peak...

Part 3 of 5: Machine Design & Setup Precision Pressure mapping helps R&D teams standardize machine design & setup processes to ensure consistent product, run-after-run. In this next edition of "Pressure Mapping: A Design Engineer's Magnifying Glass," we'll explore how pressure mapping technology can...
