Data collection and analysis-based device monitoring

A method for data collection and analysis-based battery pack monitoring, the method comprising:

• receiving, by at least one hardware processor, from a physically remotely disposed monitoring data collector that obtains, from an optical fiber of a sensing membrane comprising a planar configuration and positioned on an external surface of a battery pack to monitor a thermal property of the battery pack, monitoring data associated with the monitored thermal property of the battery pack by the sensing membrane comprising the optical fiber;
• analyzing, by the at least one hardware processor, the monitoring data to determine an operational status of the battery pack;
• and
• forwarding, by the at least one hardware processor, to the physically remote monitoring data collector and based on the analysis of the monitoring data, an indication of an operational status of the battery pack, wherein the indication of the operational status of the battery pack is to be used to control an operation of the battery pack.

A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon machine readable instructions, the machine readable instructions, when executed by at least one hardware processor, cause the at least one hardware processor to:

• obtain, from an optical fiber of a sensing membrane comprising a planar configuration and positioned on an external surface of a battery pack to monitor at least one of a thermal or a mechanical property of battery pack, monitoring data associated with the monitored at least one of the thermal or the mechanical property of the battery pack by the sensing membrane comprising the optical fiber;
• forward the monitoring data to a physically remotely disposed monitoring data analyzer;
• receive, from the physically remotely disposed monitoring data analyzer and based on an analysis of the monitoring data by the physically remotely disposed monitoring data analyzer, an indication of an operational status of the battery pack;
• and
• control, based on the indication of the operational status of the battery pack, an operation of the battery pack.
