Connect battery data. Create Digital Product Passports.
UTEK provides Digital Product Passport (DPP) solutions built around the Digital Battery Passport (DBP), helping businesses organize product data, connect supply chain information, and manage information throughout the product lifecycle.
The problem
The hard part of a Digital Battery Passport is rarely the page itself.
The work is turning scattered information into one accurate, accessible record that stays current.
- Specifications
- Production (MES)
- ERP / PLM
- Quality system
- Supplier declarationsPending
- Public
- Repair & recycling
- Authorities
- Scattered dataSplit across specs, systems and email
- Missing inputsSome data must come from suppliers
- Many teamsQuality, engineering, purchasing each own a part
- Different audiencesPublic, recyclers and authorities need different views
- Ongoing updatesChanges need a new version

Questions buyers ask
What information can a Digital Battery Passport show?
Typically product identifiers, model and batch, electrical parameters, material composition, documents, maintenance and recycling notes, and the update history. Which fields appear, and which are limited to certain roles, depends on the battery category, the requirements of the target market and your business needs. This is confirmed in the project scope.
What data do we need to start?
Start with one representative model: how products are identified, model and batch information, main electrical parameters, material composition, existing documents (specification, safety data sheet, dismantling or recycling instructions) and who maintains each of them today. Incomplete data is fine. The assessment lists the gaps.
Who can see what?
Usually there is public information and information limited to certain parties, such as dismantling details for repairers and recyclers, or compliance material for authorities. The exact layers and access rules follow legal requirements and the project system design. The role switch on this site is only a demonstration.
How do our existing systems work with a passport project?
First we map where the data lives today, for example ERP, MES, PLM, quality systems or spreadsheets. Based on volume, update frequency and system conditions we then choose template import or a system connection and agree who updates what and when.
How is the passport updated when product data changes?
When a document is revised, a supplier updates a declaration or the battery changes state, the agreed owner submits the change, it is checked and a new version is published. The passport keeps the update history, and visitors see current information.
How is the scope set by product category and target market?
We first confirm which battery or product category applies, which markets you plan to serve, and whether those markets have passport or disclosure requirements. Together with your business goals this sets the first products, the identifier level and the rollout order. For legal obligations, we recommend involving legal or compliance professionals.
Can we extend to other product categories later?
Yes, step by step. A common path is to complete the passport process for one battery product first and then assess the data structure and requirements of other categories. Each category is discussed individually. UTEK does not assume every category already has a mature solution.
