Modern and future vehicles increasingly rely on battery-electric drive systems and the principles of software-defined vehicles. As a result, there are growing requirements both for managing battery data throughout the entire vehicle lifecycle as well as for processes in vehicle production.
How this development can best be put to practical use will be demonstrated by DSA from the 9th to the 11th of June 2026 at the Battery Show Europe in Stuttgart. The live demonstrations will focus on two key aspects: first, the seamless integration and analysis of relevant data from battery pack production, vehicle production and the vehicle lifecycle to provide a well-founded assessment of battery condition; second, a new approach to final vehicle assembly, in which existing production processes are specifically adapted to meet the requirements of modern software-defined vehicle architectures.
Consistent use of data throughout the battery lifecycle
From production to vehicle operation, high-voltage batteries generate enormous amounts of data. Much of this information remains unused because data from battery pack production, vehicle production and subsequent vehicle operation is not systematically consolidated. As a result, valuable insights into condition, usage and optimisation potential are lost.
The demonstration shows how this potential can be unlocked. DSA, Skylyze and S4 International illustrate the connection along the entire process chain: from structured measurement data in production, through diagnostic and testing processes on the vehicle, to the intelligent consolidation of all information on a central platform. In a model vehicle with an OBD interface, visitors can see how test data is used to integrate measured values into comprehensive data analysis, enabling a reliable assessment of the battery’s condition.
Trade visitors will also get concrete insights into the SKYLYZE.Battery data and analytics platform. They will learn how production and operational data are consolidated and evaluated, and how a consistent data foundation is created for more efficient testing, diagnostic and optimisation processes. A comprehensive view of the state of health of high-voltage batteries provides a robust basis for decision-making in development, production and service.
Rethinking vehicle assembly
At the show, DSA will demonstrate how vehicle assembly can be approached in a entirely new way. Alongside high-performance mobile production testers, the company will present innovative on-board diagnostic applications as a central solution for the increasing demands of vehicle production. These enable production-relevant test sequences to be carried out directly in the vehicle without external hardware testers, allowing relevant data to be recorded in real time and made available for further analysis. Looking further ahead, the software required for this can be hosted directly on modern HPC control units within the vehicle. This allows diagnostic and test functions to be integrated into the production process in a flexible, scalable and seamless manner.
Overall, the live demonstrations show that the transition to battery-electric and software-defined vehicles requires new approaches both for handling battery data and for testing and diagnostic processes in production. DSA offers an integrated solution concept that brings both perspectives together.
