On the 29th and 30th of January 2026, the InnoBMS partners were welcomed to the Bosch Engineering Center in Cluj-Napoca, Romania for the fourth General Assembly. With the project at the half-way point, some of the results achieved in the first part of the project were shown and steps towards the final integration of the wireless BMS were discussed and decided upon.
On the first day, the assembly started with a dedicated theme discussion on a key next step within the project: the inventory management of crucial hardware to our partner FMF for the final integration of the wireless (Inno)BMS in the battery pack. To achieve this integration a series of hardware devices (e.g. CMB, Edge, WNM) must be finalized by the InnoBMS partners and delivered to FMF. A concrete delivery plan was therefore discussed successfully. In addition, VUB provided a dedicated workshop on the deployment of advanced functionalities on the Edge device (e.g., MicroLabBoX III), focusing on implementation strategies. After an update on WP2, the first day was concluded with a exploitation workshop led by Bosch Romania. In this workshop, the InnoBMS partners were challenged to think out of the box on how to exploit their results in new business cases and how to bring the InnoBMS results to the market.

The second day started with an interesting technical tour across the different departments of the Bosch Engineering Center in Cluj-Napoca. During this tour our partner Bosch Romania showcased their innovative approaches in the field of power electronics but also VR as tool for future engineering. The rest of the second day was dedicated to presentations on the integration WPs (WP3 & WP4) and how InnoBMS will proceed in the next months in further achieving its goals to reach a smart and wireless BMS.
