Hioki joins MOBI, a consortium working to standardize blockchain technology in the next-generation mobility industry
Hioki is pleased to announce that it has joined the Mobility Open Blockchain Initiative (MOBI, a consortium headquartered in California, USA led by Chris Ballinger and Tram Vo), working to advance blockchain* technology in the mobility industry and lithium-ion battery supply chain and to formulate associated standards.
MOBI, a non-profit organization founded in May 2018 and one of the world’s largest consortia**, aims to standardize and promote the use of blockchain, distributed ledger technology and other technologies in the mobility industry. It counts more than 100 companies and organizations as members worldwide, including car manufacturers and component manufacturers. Member companies spearhead the work of subcommittees, host international conferences and use social media to educate and raise awareness.
Hioki has been a leader in quality testing in the industry since the earliest stages of the commercialization of lithium-ion batteries. Most recently, the company has developed technologies not only to perform inspections during the production process, but also to test lithium-ion batteries as they are used in the market, and it is working to realize a circular economy that extends from battery materials to recycling.
Hioki will contribute to global decarbonisation and the realization of a sustainable society by supporting MOBI’s efforts to build a battery value chain with its measurement technologies while working with other member companies.
