Trusted by Aviation Battery Developers
Real results from companies transforming their battery testing workflows
From Scattered Spreadsheets to Centralized Data Intelligence
Challenge: Battery test data scattered across multiple cyclers, spreadsheets, and team members. Engineers spending hours hunting for specific test results instead of analyzing performance.
Solution: Implemented Micantis platform to centralize all battery testing data with automated uploads from test equipment and structured metadata management.
Results:
- All test data accessible in one platform – eliminated the "where is that test file?" problem
- Cross-team visibility – R&D, production, and quality teams access the same source of truth
- Faster decision-making – engineers find and compare test results in minutes instead of hours
- Complete test history – full traceability from early prototypes through production validation
Real-time access to all battery test data

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is Micantis software validated for aviation certification?
A: Micantis is a data management and analysis tool—not flight-critical software. We provide calculation transparency, audit trails, and data export capabilities so you can verify all results. Our customers use Micantis to accelerate analysis while maintaining full control and verification of data used in certification packages.
Q: Can we export raw data for independent verification?
A: Absolutely. You can export all raw test data, processed results, and analysis outputs in standard formats (CSV, Excel, HDF5). Micantis enhances your workflow but never locks in your data. You maintain complete ownership and can verify any calculation independently.
Q: How do you handle software updates during our certification process?
A: We provide version control and release notes for all updates. For customers in active certification, we offer the option to freeze software versions until after FAA/EASA submission. You control when updates are applied to ensure consistency throughout your certification timeline.
Q: What happens if there's a calculation error in Micantis?
A: All calculations are documented and traceable. We provide detailed methodology documentation for every analysis. Additionally, Micantis includes data validation checks and anomaly flagging. For certification-critical calculations, we recommend independent verification of results—which is straightforward with our data export capabilities.
Q: Can Micantis generate FAA/EASA submission documents?
A: Micantis generates DO-311A compliant test reports, data analysis, and formatted outputs that form the foundation of regulatory submissions. Final submission packages typically require additional context and narratives, but we provide the data foundation, analysis, and formatted reports you need.
Q: What test equipment brands do you integrate with?
A: We support automated data import from Arbin, Maccor, Bitrode, PEC, Digatron, Neware, BaSyTec cyclers, plus Espec, Thermotron, and Cincinnati Sub-Zero thermal chambers. We also handle custom safety test setups and generic formats (CSV, Excel, HDF5).
Q: How long does implementation take?
A: Most customers are analyzing data within 2-4 weeks. Week 1: Data integration setup. Week 2: Training and workflow configuration. Week 3-4: Pilot testing and report template customization. You can start with a small dataset and scale as you gain confidence.
Q: Do you support both qualification and production testing?
A: Yes. Micantis accelerates qualification test analysis during design validation (thermal runaway, drop tests, environmental testing), then automates acceptance testing and certificate generation during production (formation testing, capacity checks, cell matching).
