CAiRS’ contributions and achievements rely on the joint efforts of our team. They use sophisticated technologies to improve the reliability and safety of products and systems and predict remaining useful lives by applying different artificial intelligence models.  CAiRS has only been in operation for just over three and a half years, the honour of receiving the awards and prizes is a shot in the arm to proof our achievements and contribution to Hong Kong and the world. We would like to thank the team at CAiRS and researchers for their technical expertise and enthusiasm for their work. We would also like to thank our collaborative partners, institutions, and organizations for giving us the opportunity to apply our work in real-time practical deployment.

HKSTP x CAiRS Public Seminar and Training Session - Battery Performance, Ageing, Reliability, and Safety

The HKSTP x CAiRS Public Seminar and Training Session on “Battery Performance, Ageing, Reliability, and Safety” addresses the crucial aspects to consider, especially with the increasing reliance on energy storage systems (ESS) like lithium-ion batteries. Understanding the Lithium dendrite growth dendrite growth process and revealing its interaction with other components can enable improvements in battery safety. Opportunities for novel information gathering and unique insights into the State of Health and State of Safety for batteries will also be explored. It will also include careful assessment of the thermal and mechanical profiles, certain cell anomalies can be discovered that might go unnoticed by conventional battery aging tests focusing solely on monitoring voltage, current, and capacity.
