Trusted multiparty track-and-trace systems are needed to effectively manage assets in the value chain, enhance interoperability between stakeholders, and empower consumers to make informed purchasing decisions with confidence. This can be accomplished by imbuing each asset with a unique, machine-readable identity which would connect the physical asset to its tamper-resistant Web3 identity on the blockchain.
MOBI and its members are releasing the Rechargeable Battery Identification Number (BIN) Standard to define such a framework for stakeholders in the global battery value chain. This indelible BIN will facilitate battery data retrieval, accurate and efficient battery recalls, global battery passports, recycling certification, battery swapping, peer-to-peer battery energy sharing, and life cycle traceability.
Our expert panelists will discuss the creation of the BIN Standard, potential use cases for BIN, scalability and adoption, and the next steps for the MOBI Battery Initiative. Audience members are invited to participate in an interactive Q&A session at the end of the panel!
The BIN Standard will be open for a 60-day community review period at release. Stay tuned for the release on our Standards page!
