How it works

Shorter test loops, then fewer of them

Three levels. Operate organizes your data so each build-test-learn loop is shorter. Simulate replaces some of the testing so you run fewer loops. Services puts our modeling team on the problem, or trains yours.

01Operate

A clean platform for cycler data, metadata, and protocols, and the base everything else builds on.

ROI

Shorter test loops

  • Live sync from Maccor, Neware, Arbin, and BioLogic
  • Protocol library and scheduling
  • Anomaly detection on running tests
  • Python SDK and API for your own ML models

Best with Operate

02Simulate

Physics-based models fit to your own cells answer design questions before anything is built.

ROI

Fewer test loops

  • Parameterize ECM, SPM, SPMe, or DFN models
  • Simulate protocols and drive cycles
  • Optimize designs and charge protocols
  • Best on top of Operate, also runs standalone

03Services

The team behind PyBaMM runs the study for you, or trains your engineers to run it themselves.

ROI

No ramp-up time

  • Parameterization and validation studies
  • Custom modeling work
  • Hands-on PyBaMM training

Frequently asked questions

No. Simulate runs standalone: upload cycler files or start from a published parameter set and go straight to parameterization. It works best on top of Operate, because models fit directly from synced measurements and every new test is there to refine them.
Start where the loop is slowest. If the time goes into finding files, rebuilding protocols, and working out what is running on which channel, start with Operate. If it goes into tests that only exist to answer a design question, start with Simulate. If you need a validated model before your team has the capacity to build one, start with Services.
Yes. Everything in Operate is available through the Python SDK and API as structured, labeled data. Teams use it to train their own models, feed internal dashboards, or drive agents.
The parameterized model, a run-only script that loads it and runs simulations, the validation evidence, and a report with parameter provenance. Refitting against new data and team workflows live in Ionworks Studio.
