Energetic Solution

In our approach, the term “energy solution” encompasses all elements contributing to the power supply of sub-assemblies within an autonomous electronic product. Typically, these elements consist of one or more batteries, sometimes associated with supercapacitors or equivalent components. Additionally, linear or switching voltage regulators are included at the end of the chain.

Battery-type elements are complex chemical components, and predicting their behavior over time can be challenging.

At Hortus Technologies, estimating the lifespan of a product is calculated based on ongoing dialogue with manufacturers coupled with rigorous testing campaigns.

We have developed battery test benches capable of testing up to 15 elements simultaneously.

Firstly, it is important to assess and control the energy needs of the electronic board of the product.

Subsequently, we will pay attention to the technological choice of the implemented energy solution, and finally, it will be tested and validated according to our own methodologies.

The measurement results, combined with calculations, will allow us to get as close as possible to reality.

TIME !

As a fact, batteries are chemical elements, and accelerating certain tests, for example, by increasing the discharge current, quickly leads to a misleading conclusion due to a different demand than the real one in the field.

At Hortus Technologies, we have developed methodologies that allow us to both control test times and ensure the viability of results.

Mainly, the battery technology and characteristics inherent to the voltage management choice, the product’s consumption profile in the environmental conditions of use (aging of elements).

But also, the integration, storage, installation, and mechanical constraints.

No, a solution consists of several elements, so it is imperative to understand the behavior of the elements separately before testing them together.
