Today is?National Semiconductor Day! These tiny chips power the tech that drives our world! At ARI (Applied Research Institute) and Silicon Crossroads Microelectronics Hub we’re proud to be part of this innovative industry shaping the future.

I'm organizing the first meeting of the Military Power Sources Consortium battery maintenance committee next week Wednesday 10/30 1pm ET. If a battery failure on your watch endangers the mission and lives of US service members, then you probably stand to benefit from joining us.

I'm excited to share that I recently completed a specialized 3-day Energy Storage System training session at the Battery Innovation Center (BIC)! This training was an incredibly valuable experience, offering deep insights into key areas of Energy Storage and Lithium Battery technology, including: 1. Lithium battery cell fabrication & testing ?? 2. Grid storage systems and standards ?? 3. Battery management systems (BMS) and emerging technologies ? 4. BMS testing protocols and certification standards ?? The hands-on sessions were especially impactful, providing practical experience in: 1. Coin cell fabrication and Battery module creation , gaining a deeper understanding of battery chemistry ?? 2. Observing pouch cell assembly lines, and learning about the complexities of large-scale battery production ?? Additionally, I had the opportunity to witness cell chemistry development, including half-cell experiments, while also exploring some of the newest advancements in battery technologies. I’m excited to bring these insights back to Cummins Inc., as we continue working towards the future of sustainable energy and battery innovation. #BatteryInnovation #EnergyStorage #LithiumBatteries #TechInnovation #SustainableEnergy #Cummins #ProfessionalDevelopment #BIC
