What Titan Advanced Energy Solutions does

Titan Advanced Energy Solutions is a Salem, Massachusetts-based company founded in 2016 that develops ultrasound-based battery cell inspection systems under its IonSight platform. The platform uses non-destructive, high-speed ultrasound sensing combined with industrial AI to analyze internal cell morphology in real time, capturing over 500,000 data points per scan at production speeds of 55+ parts per minute on a 12 GWh-equivalent factory line. Product variants include IonSight Atlas for gigafactory-scale deployments, IonSight 2.5 for small- and medium-volume production and inbound inspection, and the Scorpion Diagnostics system plus Battago online EV battery marketplace for the second-life and recycling markets.

The company sells primarily to battery cell manufacturers, EV OEMs doing supplier qualification, and energy storage system providers, with hardware-and-software systems delivered under multi-year enterprise contracts and complemented by inspection-as-a-service for second-life battery assessment. Go-to-market relies on direct enterprise field sales augmented by channel partnerships with industrial automation incumbents, notably integration with Honeywell's Battery Manufacturing Excellence Platform announced in October 2024 and a Siemens co-marketing and digital-twin partnership recognized as the 'Dream Team for the Battery Industry' in June 2025. The company is private, venture-backed (Series B of $33M led by HG Ventures in November 2021 plus investors including SE Ventures, Energy Innovation Capital, and MassCEC), and was additionally awarded $25M by the U.S. Department of Energy in December 2024 to advance domestic battery manufacturing.

Titan operates with 11-50 employees, has issued multiple US and international patents covering ultrasound-based health monitoring and battery life assessment, and carries leadership drawn from Royal Dutch Shell TechWorks, Draper Laboratory, Philips, Samsung, Schneider Electric, American Power Conversion, and Morgan Advanced Materials alongside founder-CEO Shawn Murphy and founder-CCO Sean O'Day.

Core offering

Titan Advanced Energy Solutions develops and sells ultrasound-based battery cell inspection systems built around its IonSight platform. The systems combine proprietary ultrasound transducers, signal processing, automated cell handling, and industrial AI to inspect 100% of cells at production speed, detecting internal manufacturing defects and providing State-of-Charge and State-of-Health measurements that conventional electrical inspection methods miss. The company also offers the Scorpion rapid diagnostics solution for second-life battery assessment and the Battago online EV battery marketplace.

Product overview

Titan Advanced Energy Solutions offers a comprehensive portfolio of ultrasound-based battery intelligence solutions. The core offering is the IonSight platform family, including IonSight Digital Teardown for comprehensive cell inspection, IonSight Atlas for gigafactory-scale operations (55+ parts per minute), and IonSight 2.5 for small/medium volume production. These products form the manufacturing inspection line. Separately, Titan provides Scorpion for rapid battery diagnostics and Battago, an online EV battery marketplace, which together enable the second-life battery market through objective third-party validation. The 2L (Second Life) product line applies ultrasound and ML for SoH/SoC measurements in second-life battery deployments. All products leverage proprietary ultrasound technology for non-destructive battery analysis across the entire battery lifecycle.

Direct peers

• Dürr AG: Dürr is a leading global supplier of battery cell manufacturing equipment (electrode coating, drying, assembly) and provides inline CT-based quality inspection for battery cells. Directly comparable to Titan as both sell inline battery inspection/diagnostics solutions to gigafactory customers, though Dürr's inspection uses CT rather than ultrasound.
• Hitachi High-Tech: Hitachi High-Tech provides inline X-ray and CT inspection systems for lithium-ion battery manufacturing quality control. Directly comparable in serving gigafactory inline QA applications, but uses X-ray/CT inspection rather than Titan's ultrasound approach.
• VisiConsult X-ray Systems & Solutions: VisiConsult specializes in industrial X-ray inspection and computed tomography systems, including dedicated battery inspection solutions for production lines. Direct peer in the inline battery QA market with overlapping customer base in battery cell manufacturing.
• YXLON International (Comet Group): YXLON manufactures industrial X-ray and CT inspection systems used for non-destructive testing of batteries and other manufactured components. Direct peer in the battery-inspection modality space, although Titan's ultrasound approach is technologically distinct.

Broad incumbents

• Carl Zeiss Industrial Metrology: ZEISS offers industrial CT (computed tomography) and X-ray inspection systems used for non-destructive battery cell analysis and quality control. Comparable as a competing battery-inspection technology provider with deeper installation base and broader industrial metrology portfolio, though ultrasound and CT represent different inspection modalities.
• Bosch (with 100% Inspection acquisition): Bosch acquired 100% Inspection, a provider of inline battery inspection technology, making it a direct competitor in the same product category. As a global Tier-1 industrial conglomerate, Bosch brings significantly greater resources, geographic reach, and OEM relationships than Titan.
• Thermo Fisher Scientific: Thermo Fisher provides analytical instruments and process analytical technologies used across manufacturing and laboratory environments. Comparable as a broad industrial analytics and instrumentation incumbent, though its primary battery inspection footprint is more limited than Titan's specialized focus.
• Bruker Corporation: Bruker manufactures high-precision scientific instruments including X-ray micro-CT and analytical systems used in materials research and battery characterization. Comparable as an instrumentation provider serving battery R&D and quality applications, though primarily a lab/research focus versus Titan's production-line focus.
• Keyence Corporation: Keyence is a global leader in industrial sensors, measurement systems, and automation components used across manufacturing quality control. Comparable as a broad measurement/sensing instrumentation incumbent, though Keyence does not specialize in ultrasound-based battery cell inspection.

Regional players

• Manz AG: Manz AG provides integrated production equipment for lithium-ion battery manufacturing, including inline quality inspection modules. Comparable as a battery production-line equipment supplier serving European and Asian gigafactories, though Manz is more strongly positioned in Europe and integrates third-party inspection versus Titan's standalone inspection systems.
