Autonomous Battery Innovators, Breathe, Reach Crucial Software Standard in Automotive Industry through Achievement in ASPICE Assessment
Breathe Battery Technologies, a pioneering company in battery software solutions, has recently achieved ASPICE Level 2 certification for automotive software quality. This significant milestone marks a new chapter in the company's mission to revolutionise battery charging technology.
With this achievement, Breathe is focusing on advancing their battery software toolchain and simulation capabilities. Their current projects emphasise enabling efficient design, simulation, and control of battery systems, using tools like Breathe Model, which allows for fast equivalent circuit network (ECN) model parameterization and adaptation to various degradation states. This accelerates battery system development, significantly reducing the time and resources required.
Looking ahead, Breathe plans to deepen collaborations with leading global automotive and technology companies. Evidenced by partnerships with Volvo Cars Tech Fund and OPPO Research Institute, these collaborations aim to further develop and integrate Breathe's battery health and simulation technologies into software-defined vehicles and consumer products. This partnership with Volvo Cars, for instance, has granted the car company access to the latest version of Breathe's patented charging software, enhancing battery lifetime and performance for Volvo customers.
The ASPICE assessment, led by industry expert Markus Mueller, concluded that Breathe demonstrates a mature approach to software development that is exceptional for a growing technology company. The assessment recognised Breathe's systematic approach to risk management and quality assurance processes, strong project management capabilities, including resource allocation, technical debt management, and process management. Breathe's strategic recruitment of experienced team members and effective startup mentality were also noted as strengths.
Christian Korte, Head of Software and Engineering at Breathe, stated that this achievement is a fundamental milestone in the company's journey to revolutionise battery charging technology. The ASPICE assessment further validates Breathe's development processes, positioning the company to better serve its automotive partners with enterprise-grade software that meets the industry's high standards.
By making batteries better and helping brands do more with the power they have, Breathe Battery Technologies is not just riding the wave of electrification, but helping to create it. The company continues to grow and innovate, staying true to its founding dream of a world where everyone breathes clean air.
