The Challenge

Illumion develops technology that helps researchers understand how battery materials behave during charging and discharging.

Its charge photometry platform combines specialized hardware with proprietary software used to analyze scientific data and visualize material behavior.

As the company commercialized its technology, protecting software intellectual property became increasingly important.

Scientific software represented a significant part of the value delivered alongside the instrument itself.

The company needed a licensing approach that controlled software access while remaining practical for researchers, engineers, and commercial customers operating in different organizations and research environments.

The Solution

With Devolens, Illumion can:

  • Manage commercial software access through a centralized licensing platform.
  • Control software distribution while protecting proprietary analysis capabilities.
  • Integrate licensing into existing software workflows through the Python API.

Licensing became part of the product delivery process without adding unnecessary complexity for technical teams or end users.

The Result

Devolens provides Illumion with a structured way to manage software access alongside its charge photometry platform.

Licensing remains straightforward for researchers and technical users while giving the company greater control over how proprietary analysis software is distributed and used.

The platform supports commercial software delivery without creating additional operational overhead, allowing Illumion to focus on advancing battery research technology and expanding its scientific capabilities.
