TAE Technologies, a developer of fusion energy technology, has achieved 100% system uptime across continuous 24/7 battery testing cycles following the deployment of a real-time monitoring and data logging system from ODOSOLUTIONS (ODOS).
The platform, which was operational within hours of installation, is supporting the validation of TAE’s pulse charging technology under sustained test conditions while ensuring high-integrity data capture across complex operating environments.
High-stakes validation at proof-of-concept stage
As part of its work to advance battery charging efficiency, TAE initiated a proof-of-concept (PoC) programme to validate performance across a wide range of battery cell chemistries and configurations. At this stage, data integrity and system visibility are critical, as engineering decisions directly influence scalability, safety, and future commercial viability.
However, the demands of continuous testing, combined with the need for rapid anomaly detection and high-fidelity data capture, exposed limitations in traditional monitoring approaches. The inability to continuously monitor test rigs operating 24/7 without manual intervention created risks to both safety and data integrity.
Without real-time alerting, identifying anomalies or system failures in time to prevent damage was difficult, while limited remote access restricted the engineering team’s ability to manage systems off-site.
In addition, the risk of data loss during network outages threatened the validity of trial results in a programme dependent on complete and traceable datasets, where gaps could delay development cycles and require revalidation.
Real-time monitoring and resilient data architecture
To address these challenges, TAE worked with ODOS, which deployed its Decalog system alongside a real-time cloud-based dashboard, enabling secure data logging, automated alerting, and full remote access and control. Engineers are able to monitor system performance continuously and respond to anomalies as they occur, reducing the risk of escalation under test conditions.
The system architecture supports data continuity during network interruptions, with localised logging and automatic synchronisation once connectivity is restored, ensuring complete and traceable datasets. A configurable dashboard environment allows both technical and non-technical users to visualise, analyse, and export performance data, supporting cross-functional collaboration across distributed engineering teams.
Implementation was completed rapidly, with TAE’s engineering team working closely with ODOS to configure and install the system. Once connected to prototype systems and relevant software libraries, the platform was operational within hours. The dashboard was configured to monitor safe operating thresholds, track key performance metrics, and enable remote control functionality, allowing teams based across the UK and Europe to maintain continuous operational oversight.
Measurable gains in performance, safety, and development speed
The deployment has delivered measurable improvements across TAE’s testing operations. Continuous monitoring and proactive alerting have supported full system uptime across 24/7 test cycles, while remote access and control capabilities have enabled engineers and stakeholders to manage test rigs without requiring physical presence, improving flexibility and reducing operational constraints.
Data integrity has been maintained throughout testing, with offline logging ensuring that all data generated during network outages is securely stored and automatically synchronised once connectivity is restored. Rapid deployment timelines enabled TAE to maintain momentum within a fast-paced R&D environment, while multi-format data export has supported efficient offline analysis, streamlined reporting, and improved data accessibility across teams.
Beyond operational performance, the platform has strengthened confidence in trial outcomes by ensuring that results accurately reflect real system behaviour across varying operating conditions and battery chemistries. Real-time monitoring, automated alerting, and remote shutdown capability have enhanced safety protocols, reducing risk to equipment and personnel. At the same time, immediate access to performance data has accelerated iteration cycles, enabling faster optimisation and more agile experimentation.
Centralised access to live and historical datasets has improved collaboration across geographically distributed teams, providing a consistent basis for decision-making. Remote system management has also reduced the need for on-site intervention, improving efficiency and minimising disruption to ongoing test programmes.
“At the proof-of-concept stage, access to complete and reliable data is fundamental,” comments Umesh Patel, Business Director, ODOS. “Without it, engineering teams risk making decisions based on incomplete information, which can slow development and introduce unnecessary risk. What we’ve seen with TAE is how real-time visibility and resilient data systems can accelerate progress while maintaining confidence in the results.”
“We’re only using a fraction of what the ODOS system can do, but it’s already giving us everything we need to move faster with confidence,” comments Ruben Graca, Battery Build and Test Operations Manager at TAE Power Solutions.
The deployment is expected to support continued development of TAE’s pulse charging technology, contributing to safer, more efficient battery systems as the company progresses toward commercialisation.
