Eld Agent is an application that runs on a small Linux PC and communicates with BMS via the CANBus protocol.

• It reads real-time data on SOC, SOH, error codes, alarms, and more.
• Data is collected in packets and sent in real-time or at a configurable frequency to Eld Cloud.
• Eld Agent provides secure communication with Eld Cloud via private VPN.
• Eld Agent operates autonomously in the event of a network failure.

All we need to get the Eld Agent up and running on your battery pack is a DBC file for your BMS. A DBC file (Database Container file) specifies how data packets sent over the CAN network are structured, allowing us to decode the messages coming from your BMS. We load the file into the Eld Agent application as part of the configuration, and you’re all set to collect data from your battery packs.

Eld Cloud receives data from Eld Agent and stores it in a time-series database.

The data is then exported to a graph client where customers can view and analyse it.

Planned roadmap features include AI-powered analytics, enabling data to be queried and explored through both traditional dashboards and natural language. Eld Cloud will also support the administration of multiple Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS).

Eld Lab is working on software to integrate battery packs with the grid and essentially to build Energy Management System (EMS).

The system will:

• Control communication between battery packs and power conversion system.
• Monitor, collect, and analyse data from BMSs and other system components using Eld Agent.
• AI-driven analytics of battery data in the cloud provide much more accurate estimates of key vitals such as State of Charge, reducing operational costs while enabling predictable maintenance and improved safety.
• Offer a set of APIs that provide information on system status, including all data the customer wants.
• Eld Lab develops software based on open-source technologies, which provides great flexibility in what we build.
• We operate our own cloud infrastructure rather than relying on cloud services providers, which gives us full control and significantly lowers server costs.
• Computers and electronics are handpicked from various manufacturers without the need to create custom solutions, which further reduces costs.
