IONATE, a deeptech company developing hardware and software for smarter electrical grids, is collaborating with General Motors to deploy its Hybrid Intelligent Transformer technology at GM's manufacturing plant in Romulus, Michigan, marking IONATE's entry into the U.S. market. The deployment will bring IONATE's Hybrid Intelligent Transformer, or HIT, into a large industrial manufacturing environment where the technology will provide real-time visibility and control over power quality and electricity consumption. IONATE's system is designed to identify and resolve power-flow problems before they disrupt industrial operations or create broader issues for the electrical grid. The first installation will take place at GM's approximately 900,000-square-foot Romulus facility, which produces 10-speed transmissions for the automaker's full-size trucks and SUVs. GM recently invested $300 million to expand production capacity at the facility. The IONATE deployment will provide GM with power-quality and consumption data at sub-millisecond resolution, giving the automaker more detailed information about the electrical conditions supporting its manufacturing operations. IONATE said the technology can improve energy resilience, power quality and efficiency while also helping identify and prevent grid issues that could potentially contribute to outages. The project places GM among the...
