Sention Technologies Limited, based in London, is a company specializing in advanced diagnostic and machine learning solutions for lithium-ion batteries. Established in 2022, Sention provides insights into the condition and performance of electrochemical devices throughout their operational life. The company integrates proprietary acoustic imaging with artificial intelligence and machine learning analytics to offer non-contact, real-time diagnostic tools. This approach aims to optimize performance, reduce costs, and enhance safety across the battery value chain, supporting circular economy initiatives within energy storage.
Sention’s focus extends to batteries, fuel cells, electrolyzers, and supercapacitors, providing data-driven insights for developers, manufacturers, and regulatory bodies. Their methods contribute to accelerating product development cycles, improving manufacturing yields, and ensuring quality and safety from design through field deployment. By providing reliable cell evaluations, Sention supports the reuse and recycling of electrochemical components, as well as failure analysis and quality control.
Battery Technology
Sention Technologies Limited employs distinct technical solutions to address battery diagnostics. Their core offering includes patented ultrasound and acoustic sensing hardware, which generates real-time 3D images of internal battery structures using acoustic waves. This non-invasive method allows for detailed examination without physical contact. The data collected from these sensors is processed by an AI and machine learning platform called “Sentinel.” This software analyzes fused sensor data to predict battery performance, identify potential failures, and provide root-cause diagnostics.
The company also offers hardware instruments, specifically the “Senturion” ultrasound instrument, designed for high-throughput, contactless scanning in manufacturing and OEM environments. This instrument facilitates rapid health assessment and quality control. Sention is developing “Sentry,” a next-generation inline quality assurance system intended for direct integration into production lines for continuous inspection. These technologies are supported by cloud-based analytics, enabling scalable and remote battery evaluation. Sention’s diagnostic tools provide comprehensive insights into battery health, age, and quality, aiming to reduce defects and optimize battery life cycles.
Recent Projects
Sention Technologies is currently engaged in pilot deployments of its systems with leading electronics and electric vehicle manufacturers. These pilot programs are testing the integration of Sention’s non-contact diagnostic technologies into existing workflows, with commercial rollout anticipated by 2025. The company is actively developing an inline quality assurance system, “Sentry,” which is slated for integration directly into production lines for continuous battery inspection. This highlights Sention’s efforts to advance diagnostic capabilities for manufacturing environments.
Investors
Sention has secured funding from several investors. These include Twin Path Ventures, which led the seed funding round. Other investors include Doral Energy-Tech Ventures, Endgame Capital, Energy Revolution Ventures, G.K. Goh Ventures, Green Angel Ventures, Third Sphere, and the UK Innovation and Science Seed Fund. These investments primarily support product commercialization, research and development, and the expansion of cloud diagnostics capabilities.
