LIMATICA is a German technology company specializing in advanced solutions for battery cell optimization and safety. Founded in Chemnitz, the company combines scientific research with industrial applications to enhance battery manufacturing processes. Through its innovative noise analysis technology, LIMATICA identifies and evaluates battery cell quality, addressing critical challenges in degradation assessment and performance optimization. Under the leadership of Dr.-Ing. Paul Büschel, Chief Innovation Officer, the company focuses on transforming traditional battery evaluation methods to improve manufacturing efficiency and safety standards.
Battery Technology
LIMATICA’s primary innovation centers on noise analysis technology, adapted from electrochemistry and corrosion studies, to evaluate battery cell quality. This method provides detailed insights into cell degradation patterns and performance characteristics, significantly reducing assessment time and costs compared to conventional testing methods. The technology enables manufacturers to optimize cell aging processes while conserving infrastructure resources.
The company’s proprietary system analyzes electrical noise patterns within lithium-ion cells, offering precise measurements of cell behavior and potential failure modes. This approach allows for early detection of quality issues and improved understanding of cell performance parameters. LIMATICA’s technology supports both new cell production and second-life applications, providing valuable data for research, development, and quality assurance processes. The system’s ability to distinguish between different failure modes makes it particularly valuable for manufacturing optimization and recycling applications.
Recent Projects
Since January 2024, LIMATICA has established significant partnerships, including a collaboration with the EV Lab of Technical University Munich. The company successfully implemented a pilot program with a major battery manufacturer to scale their technology across production lines. In late 2024, LIMATICA expanded its technical capabilities by appointing Christian Günther as Head of Software Development and Dr.-Ing. Christian Kunde as Head of Data & Analytics, strengthening their expertise in battery technology implementation.
Investors
LIMATICA secured €1.4 million in Pre-Seed funding in November 2024, with investments from Kopa VC and Bloomhaus VC. The company also received recognition and additional funding through the AI Competition Award from Auto, Motor & Sport, which included a €100,000 grant. These investments support LIMATICA’s technological development and market expansion strategies. The company maintains its position as batch #16 Alumni from XPRENEURS, Europe’s leading DeepTech Incubator.
