Keep Track of All Costs with the IVImon Analytics Platform

Smart decision-making assistant for the cost-effective operation of electric vehicles

The shift to alternative drive systems opens up new opportunities, but italso presents many challenges. For example, planning and implementation often require significant effort and substantial costs upfront. Modern solutions rely on detailed route planning, intelligent charging strategies, and precise range estimates to optimize charging times and battery usage.

In addition, new business models with batteries at their center are emerging: separate leasing of the vehicles and batteries, partnerships with charging infrastructure operators, or new workshop concepts. This allows batteries to be used efficiently and mobility to be designed with the future in mind.

In order to use batteries efficiently and optimally manage daily fleet operations, reliable data and smart analytics are essential. IVImon securely transfers your vehicles’ data to the cloud and is specifically designed for fleet applications.

Whether logistics provider, shipping company, or municipal utility—with IVImon, everyone can get more out of their electric vehicles

Up to 20% longer battery life

The system identifies anomalies and performance deviations at an early stage, long before they can cause critical disruptions in operation.

By adapting operational and charging stategies to the actual battery state, service life can be extended by up to 20 percent—a significant cost advantage.

Fewer downtimes, higher availability

Real-time remote diagnostics allows the continuous monitoring of battery states and ageing processes—without having to remove vehicles from service.

Operators have access to critical parameters at all times and can take proactive measures.

Decisions based on real vehicle data

The foundation is long-term data storage. By continuously recording relevant parameters, a digital twin of your fleet is created, allowing you to track developments over months and years.

Customizable dashboards ensure that every user receives exactly the information relevant to their role—from dispatchers and technicians to upper management.

Digitalizing fleets – reducing costs – understanding batteries

This is how IVImon works with your data

Long-term data storage

In contrast to cloud-based OEM solutions, IVImon guarantees comprehensive and long-term data storage. This allows well-founded trend analyses and strategic decisions.

 

Flexible data collection & complete data sovereignty

IVImon ensures continuous data transmission—through seamless integration with existing OEM telematics solutions or direct data access via its own hardware. All data is stored and processed on local servers—without involving third-party providers or big tech companies. Your data stays with you: secure and private.

 

Insightful analyses & custom dashboards

From battery performance and charging behavior to energy demand forecasts and availability analyses—IVImon provides customized reports. Dashboards are individually configured in collaboration with our experts and continuously refined based on your feedback.

FLEETWISE: AI-powered operational and charging optimization for SMEs' electric commercial vehicle fleets

The FLEETWISE project aims at creating methods for energy- and cost-optimized deployment scheduling of electric commercial vehicles in logistics. To achieve this aim, battery states and energy consumption are recorded and evaluated based on real-world fleet data, and then compiled into a database.

Reinforcement Learning then uses the data to develop cost-optimized charging strategies. The project also examines how gamification can make a positive impact on driving and charging behavior.

VALA - Validation of novel algorithms for battery diagnostics based on machine learning methods

Established methods for battery diagnostics rely on complex laboratory measurements of individual battery cells or modules, which do not adequately reflect real-world conditions. The VALA project, therefore, takes the approach of using neural networks to learn battery behavior from field data. The aim is taking the accuracy of battery diagnostics to a new level and significantly extending battery life.

NEXTBAT: Next Generation Technologies for Battery Systems in Transport Electrification

Next-generation battery systems are developed within the scope of NEXTBAT. In the process, both battery cells from the post-lithium-ion generation and new modular and pack architectures are studied. The work also includes future-oriented sensors, innovative cooling concepts, modern battery management systems (BMS), as well as comprehensive safety measures accoridng to the »safety by design« principle – that is, safety as a fundamental design principle.

In the NEXTBAT project, Fraunhofer IVI is developing algorithms especially for compliance with the battery passport.

ZEFES

The ZEFES consortium is developing zero-emission solutions for heavy long-haul transportation on the basis of battery-powered and fuel cell-powered vehicles. The project is going to improve the vehicles' range, energy efficiency, and practicality, and demonstrate their viability for real-world logistics operations. The aim is to accelerate the market introduction of zero-emission commercial vehicles and to support the European climate goals.

Within ZEFES, Fraunhofer IVI is responsible for developing and field testing SOH prediction algorithms.

FeBaL

The aim of the FeBaL project was to develop data-driven methods for determining the ageing, state of health and remaining life of vehicle batteries based on real-world operating data. This is a way to analyze batteries more precisely, use them more efficiently, and make a better estimation of their residual value. The end point of a battery's service life is determined by the requirements of its respective application.

In the course of the FeBaL project, Fraunhofer IVI has developed a field-data-driven system for SOH prediction.
