A San Jose software company links factory records to field performance, one industrial asset at a time. The useful trick is less glamorous than AI: giving scattered data a common identity.
Voltaiq is a Berkeley-based enterprise software company that pioneered the category of 'battery intelligence.' Its Enterprise Battery Intelligence (EBI) platform automatically collects, cleans, and harmonizes data from battery test and production equipment, then surfaces the performance, quality, health, and safety insights engineers need to build better batteries faster. Founded in 2012 by UC Berkeley PhDs Tal Sholklapper and Eli Leland, Voltaiq is used by automakers, consumer-electronics giants, and energy-storage companies including Mercedes-Benz, Toyota, Amazon, Meta, and Sila to accelerate product development and catch defects weeks earlier than traditional QC.
Tal Sholklapper is the CEO and co-founder of Voltaiq, the company that coined the term 'battery intelligence' and built the de facto standard software for making sense of battery data. A UC Berkeley-trained materials scientist who once finished an engineering PhD in two and a half years, he started Voltaiq in 2012 after years designing batteries and fuel cells convinced him the hardest part wasn't building cells - it was figuring out, fast, whether they were any good. Today his platform analyzes data from manufacturing and validation labs at Toyota, Mercedes-Benz, Meta, and Amazon.
