Advanced Sensors Enhance Energy Storage Safety & Monitoring

Posted

As energy storage technology advances, businesses in electric mobility, grid storage, and industrial applications are increasingly prioritizing safety and efficiency. Bristol-based Metis Engineering has stepped up to meet this demand with a new range of CAN-based environmental sensors designed to enhance monitoring capabilities across multiple industries.

The company’s latest product line introduces Cell Guard, H Guard, and Air Wise, offering solutions for battery health monitoring, hydrogen leak detection, and air quality management

Advanced Battery Health Monitoring to Meet Growing Demand

With the widespread adoption of lithium-ion batteries, the need for sophisticated monitoring solutions has grown significantly. Metis' Cell Guard sensor addresses this challenge by offering real-time diagnostics for LFP and NMC battery chemistries. It detects early failure indicators, such as cell venting and moisture ingress, while also identifying hydrogen generation caused by electrolysis. Additionally, it measures pressure fluctuations and shock loads to assess battery stress, integrating seamlessly with Battery Passports for compliance and lifecycle tracking. Its CAN-based compatibility ensures cost-effective deployment across electric mobility, grid storage, and industrial battery applications.

Hydrogen Leak Detection for Safer Fuel Cell and Infrastructure Operations

As hydrogen technology gains momentum in transportation and industrial energy applications, ensuring safety remains paramount. The H Guard sensor is designed to detect hydrogen leaks at trace levels, allowing businesses to take action before concentrations become hazardous. This technology is particularly crucial for hydrogen-powered vehicles and fuel cells, refueling infrastructure, and industrial applications where hydrogen plays a role in manufacturing and energy production

Air Quality Monitoring for Regulatory Compliance and Operational Efficiency

Beyond energy storage and hydrogen safety, businesses are focusing on indoor air quality to meet regulatory requirements and support employee health. The Air Wise sensor provides high-precision monitoring of CO2 and NOx levels, helping businesses optimize HVAC systems and maintain workplace environments. With real-time air quality data, companies can ensure compliance with emissions regulations, manage ventilation more efficiently, and improve workplace conditions. 

By equipping businesses with real-time environmental data, Metis Engineering's sensors contribute to safer, more efficient operations across multiple industries. More than 200 customers have already implemented these technologies in electric vehicles, stationary storage systems, and maritime applications, demonstrating their growing role in advancing safety and compliance measures.
