TDK Ventures Inc., the corporate venture capital arm of TDK Corporation, has announced its investment in Glimpse, a company developing next-generation battery quality management technology.
Glimpse’s X-ray computed tomography (CT) scanning solutions enable real-time, high-resolution battery inspections, ensuring battery cells’ safety, reliability, and performance in electric vehicles (EVs) and other mobility applications.
As demand for EV batteries grows, achieving higher manufacturing yields and minimizing cell defects are critical challenges for automakers and battery producers. Inconsistencies in battery production have led to a rise in EV battery recalls, costing manufacturers billions and affecting consumer confidence.
Glimpse’s AI-driven analytics and advanced non-destructive testing provide manufacturers with precise quality control insights, allowing them to detect potential failures early, optimize production, and enhance battery longevity.
By investing in Glimpse, TDK Ventures supports scalable battery manufacturing solutions that improve efficiency, reduce waste, and ensure high-quality battery production for next-generation EVs. This investment aligns with TDK Ventures’ commitment to fostering technologies that drive innovation in e-mobility and energy storage.
