Factorial Inc., a solid-state battery technology company, has introduced Gammatron™, an AI-powered digital twin platform designed to streamline the development of advanced battery cells. The Boston-based firm announced that Gammatron™ integrates electrochemical, thermodynamic and laboratory data to simulate material and cell-level performance, aiming to reduce long-term performance validation from up to six months to just two weeks of initial testing.
Gammatron™ features an AI-driven digital twin capable of predicting cell state of health and optimizing fast-charging protocols to maximize capacity, minimize degradation and reduce internal stress while maintaining safety. Its molecular modeling and machine learning tools facilitate accelerated electrolyte formulation, enabling tailored composition design based on detailed molecular interactions. The platform also employs physics-based modeling to simulate internal processes — including stress, heat distribution and degradation mechanisms — that are difficult to observe directly.
“Validating a new cell design can take years, but with Gammatron™, we’ve demonstrated that we can dramatically shorten that timeline—forecasting long-term performance from just two weeks of early testing, instead of the typical three to six months,” said Siyu Huang, CEO of Factorial. “By combining automation with data-driven insights, we’re accelerating development with greater speed and control.”
“Batteries are complex dynamic chemical systems. Gammatron™ combines machine learning with scientific feature engineering. Where most platforms hit a wall with shallow machine learning, Gammatron™ goes deeper and shows engineers which material and design changes will unlock longer life and higher performance,” said Raimund Koerver, VP of Business Development at Factorial. “It’s not just about predicting outcomes – it’s about enabling better ones.”
Initially offered as an in-house, tech-enabled service for co-development with select partners, Gammatron™ supports both solid-state and legacy lithium-ion battery programs. The platform is positioned to enhance customer qualification processes, improve overall cell performance and accelerate internal research and development. It will be showcased at the upcoming MOVE London conference as part of Factorial’s ongoing collaboration with Stellantis.
Factorial Inc., headquartered in the United States, focuses on solid-state battery development through its proprietary FEST® and Solstice™ technologies, partnering with automotive manufacturers such as Mercedes-Benz, Stellantis, Hyundai and Kia for safer, higher-energy-density solutions.
