Glimpse Engineering, Inc. specializes in advanced X-ray computed tomography (CT) scanning solutions for battery quality monitoring. The company works to eliminate battery failures by providing organizations with real-time insights into battery quality. Founded in 2023 by Peter Attia, Patrick Herring, and Eric Moch, Glimpse has developed a collaborative platform that transforms how manufacturers assess and maintain battery quality. Their technology enables rapid identification of defects and supports continuous improvement in battery production processes, making quality control more accessible and efficient across organizations.
Battery Technology
Glimpse’s technology centers on X-ray computed tomography scanning, which produces detailed maps of battery cell structures to evaluate manufacturing quality. The system generates high-resolution cross-section images of battery cells, allowing for thorough inspection of internal components. Their automated inspection layer extracts essential quality metrics from these images, enabling efficient quality control.
The platform includes a secure web application, the Glimpse Portal, where customers can monitor battery quality through detailed imaging and automated inspection tools. This technology has increased throughput by factors of 30, with plans for additional improvements. The scanning process integrates seamlessly with gigawatt-hour scale battery production environments, addressing previous limitations regarding speed and cost-effectiveness.
The system maintains a digital fingerprint of each battery’s quality, creating a long-term record that facilitates reliability tracking over multiple years. This comprehensive approach to quality monitoring helps reduce production scrap, prevent field failures, and minimize the risk of fleet recalls.
Recent Projects
In recent developments, Glimpse has established partnerships with scanner manufacturers to enhance technology compatibility with high-volume cell production environments. The company has successfully integrated its quality monitoring platform with several battery manufacturers, demonstrating significant improvements in defect detection and production efficiency.
Investors
Glimpse secured $4 million in seed funding from Ibex Mobility and Flybridge Capital Partners. Additional support comes from a group of battery and electric vehicle industry angel investors, reflecting strong confidence in the company’s technology and market potential.
