How Micantis Helps

From scattered cycler files to a single supplier-accountable record.

Smart Sampling

Statistical confidence on every shipment.

A sampling plan calibrated to your risk tolerance and supplier history. Every batch gets a confidence interval, and drift is caught before it ships into a tool.

Sampling design tuned per supplier and SKU
Pass / fail evaluation against your spec
Confidence intervals on capacity, OCV, and DCIR
Tightening sampling automatically when a supplier drifts

Supplier Scoring

Hold suppliers accountable, with data.

A standard test protocol applied to every cell source, with a running scorecard you can take into procurement reviews. Multi-source without compromising spec.

Standard protocols applied across every supplier
Lot-over-lot drift detection
Side-by-side reports for QBRs
Reject documentation with reason codes

High-Rate Profiles

Test what the contractor actually does.

Pulse profiles, sustained high-rate discharge, and DCIR / HPPC analysis built for the way real tools draw current — not just rated capacity.

Pulse and continuous discharge profiles
HPPC and DCIR across SOC and temperature
Voltage sag analysis under load
Cell matching for series and parallel groups

Warranty Feedback

Field returns, fed back into incoming QC.

Connect warranty returns to the supplier lot and the formation data behind them. Use the pattern to tighten incoming acceptance and avoid the next wave.

Field return linkage back to lot and supplier
Pattern detection across formation signatures
Tightened spec on the suppliers driving claims
Cost attribution per supplier and per SKU

Traceability

Cell to pack to retailer.

Every test result tied to a cell, every cell tied to a lot, every lot tied to a finished pack. When a return shows up, the supplier and lot are named in minutes.

Bidirectional drill down from pack serial to supplier cert
Lot scoping for warranty campaigns and recalls
Time-stamped audit trail
UN 38.3 transport documentation tracked

Measurable Impact

What power tool teams gain.

40–60% lower warranty

Screen weak lots during incoming QC instead of replacing packs at the retail counter.

85% faster QC

Reduce incoming qualification from months of full cycle testing to days of formation testing.

Weeks to qualify

Onboard new cell suppliers in 1–2 weeks instead of 3–6 months of testing.

Scale without hiring

Handle 10× production volume without 10× QC headcount.

FAQ

Common questions from power tool teams.

Can you handle high-rate pulse profiles?

Yes. Pulse, sustained high-rate, and HPPC profiles are first-class — not just rated capacity. Voltage sag and DCIR are tracked across SOC and temperature.

Does this work with our existing cyclers?

Yes. Arbin, Maccor, Neware, Bitrode, BaSyTec, Digatron, PEC and others. Custom abuse-test setups and CSV / Excel / HDF5 are supported out of the box.

How much of each batch do we need to test?

Sampling depends on supplier history, batch size, and risk tolerance. We help design the plan during onboarding and tighten or loosen it as data accrues.

Can we feed warranty returns back in?

Yes. Field returns link back to lot and supplier so you can detect formation patterns that correlate with claims and tighten incoming spec on the lots most at risk.

How long does implementation take?

Most teams are running in 2–3 weeks. Week 1 covers data integration, week 2 training and spec configuration, week 3 production deployment.
