Case Study: Leading Car Manufacturer achieves 75% reduction in lab labor and a blueprint for high‑performance battery cells with Keysight Scienlab and Lab Discover

Car Manufacturer Cuts Labor Resources by 75 Percent; Creates Blueprint for High-Performance Battery Cells

Leading Car Manufacturer wanted to accelerate EV adoption by improving battery cell performance, lifespan, safety, charging, and cost while validating prototypes against strict in‑house benchmarks. The OEM needed a comprehensive test platform and workflow management to handle thousands of devices under test, test revisions, scheduling, multiple configurations and automation — and engaged Keysight, using its Scienlab battery test systems and Scienlab Lab Discover software.

Keysight delivered an end-to-end Scienlab solution — including cell chemistry R&D, cell formation, module/pack test systems with BMS and HiL capabilities, plus Lab Discover lab management software to automate planning, scheduling, version control and data handling. The implementation produced a repeatable blueprint for high‑performance battery cell development and production, standardized processes for in‑house and outsourced manufacturing, and a measurable 75% reduction in labor resources for laboratory management.
