StackOS: An Integrated Platform


StackOS is an energy storage operating system, built out of hardware and software that were designed together
for each other. StackOS makes everything simple for our partners, from monitoring equipment safety to
responding to grid conditions and use cases. It is an all-encompassing Battery Management System (BMS),
Energy Management System (EMS), and Thermal Management System (TMS). In other words, it manages
batteries, it manages energy, and it manages thermal conditions.

Battery Management System (BMS)


CLOUD
The BMS is the core of StackOS’s functionality and differentiation. It enables cell
level monitoring, control and safety. Additionally, Powin offers a vendor agnostic cell StackOS
integration approach within our platform ensuring that our customers will always
have competitive battery supply for their projects while maintaining the same exact
control and software platform.
