In this article, Joseph Notaro, Chief Revenue Officer at Dukosi, looks at the key role electrification is playing in decarbonisation of the maritime industry, and how this is driving battery system innovation.

Ground Support Equipment are rapidly becoming electrified, but an airport’s demanding working environment means that reliability and safety are two key considerations, so choosing the right battery architecture is essential.

In this interview at embedded world 2025 exhibition & conference, Ulrich Lentz (Arrow Electronics), Mihir Shah (eInfochips) and Joseph Notaro (Dukosi) discuss and explain an end-to-end BMS proof of concept design (developed in partnership with eInfochips) using DKCMS™, ready for full-size BESS applications.

CAMY has collaborated with Dukosi to develop a high performance battery expressly designed for airport ground support vehicles (GSE) using the Dukosi Cell Monitoring System (DKCMS) battery architecture.

Innovative Near Field Wireless Battery Design Enables Safer and More Sustainable Ground Support Equipment and Ramp Operations

The Dukosi 54 channel reference design represents an end-to-end BMS using DKCMS, ready for one module in a full-size BESS application. It reflects a typical battery module configuration suitable for a 900-1500V rack, based on a choice of BMS host system that uses 3 x 18 channel AFE’s.

The 54 Cell Reference Design Demonstrates the Flexibility of Dukosi Cell Monitoring System (DKCMS™) with C-SynQ® to Integrate with Leading BMS Host Processors, Creating Simpler, Safer and more Sustainable Battery Systems

There can be 100s of cells in a high-power battery pack, and the status of every one must be captured synchronously in a single snapshot, multiple times a second, with each snapshot being relayed to the BMS host with deterministic latency to achieve optimal performance.

Joseph Notaro, Chief Revenue Officer at Dukosi, breaks down the benefits and advantages of Dukosi’s Chip-on-Cell technology which can monitor every cell, contributing significantly to improvements in the safety, performance and costs of EV batteries.

Electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft represent an emerging class of battery-powered vehicles that offer distinct advantages. Operational safety and system redundancy are primary considerations when developing a new aircraft. Therefore, adopting solutions explicitly designed to maximize safety and reliability in battery systems can accelerate development.
