From Our Batteries to Yours

Five years building the intelligence — now retrofittable to any brand.

Since 2020, Vaulta has designed, manufactured, sold and supported award-winning, Australian-made energy storage systems, with cell-level remote monitoring built in since 2022.

That same intelligence now powers PlainView — a retrofittable platform for any battery brand. What started as our internal edge is now yours to offer.

Problem Statement

Australia is leading, but still flying blind.

Faults go undetected until it's too late — triggering warranty claims, returns, unplanned maintenance, frustrated customers, and lost revenue.

Battery models
>1K

Available in Australia that are deemed 'compliant', but few offer transparent traceability on performance and predictive failures. Source: CEC + BESS project reviews.

Fail within 2 years
>50%

Of battery energy storage system failures occur in the first 2 years of operation — 46% blamed on controls, 43% on balance of system.

Sites per operator
100 / 1K / 10K

Most installers, wholesalers and integrators manage 100–10,000 sites across multiple brands and assets — with little capability to check them all in one place.

Solution

An IoT + SaaS platform — retrofittable and brand-agnostic.

PlainView turns any battery fleet — single brand or mixed — into one with shared visibility. It goes deeper than existing EMS platforms, with cell-level data, and the battery and PCS/inverter managed together, not in isolation.

Lower downtime

Detect faults before they fail. Teach the remainder of the fleet with AI.

Boost safety

Reduce risk through early warnings. Set up notifications to the right people.

Prove performance

Extend warranty terms with proof behind them. Sell with confidence, track ROI.

How it Works

Small hardware. Big visibility.

A small device wires directly into the battery's BMS, decoding cell-level data that's normally locked away. The inverter or PCS keeps doing its job untouched, but its own data reaches the dashboard too. Both streams land in one place, in real time.

Competitive Landscape

The first platform to bring these together.

PlainView goes further, offering brand-agnostic, cell-level visibility in one fleet view.

vsTwaice

Strong predictive analytics for OEMs and large fleets — but the complexity and cost put it out of reach for smaller or retrofit deployments, exactly where PlainView fits.

vsStem Inc.

Built for grid-scale optimisation and energy trading, not battery health. No support for mixed-brand fleets.

vsAccure

Solid risk analysis for EVs and large commercial fleets, but without the retrofit flexibility or hardware integration a wholesaler or trade partner needs.

vsAzzo

Good general energy monitoring and SCADA for C&I sites, but nothing battery-specific, and nothing that scales the way a growing partner fleet needs.

Why Now?

Battery systems are growing fast, but most are flying blind.

As storage scales in every market, the wholesalers, trade partners and OEMs closest to the install are the ones holding the risk — and the opportunity to close the gap first.

Growth at this scale means more installs, more fleets, and more exposure for whoever's selling and supporting them — unless they can see what's happening after the sale.
