Your BMS Logs Thousands of Cell Temperatures.
Your Daily Report Says Nothing.
POD bridges the BESS thermal monitoring gap: cell-level temperature trending, NFPA 855 compliance tracking, and off-gas detection status in one 5-minute voice report.
The Thermal Monitoring Gap
Four critical documentation failures that leave your BESS project exposed to thermal events.
Cell-level temperature data never reaches the daily report
Your BMS logs thousands of cell temperatures per day. Your daily report says "BESS installation proceeding." When a thermal event hits during commissioning, there is no documentation trail showing the temperature trends from the preceding days.
NFPA 855 fire suppression testing is fragmented across contractors
Each BESS container requires fire suppression system testing, ventilation verification, and deflagration panel inspection per NFPA 855. Test records live in the fire protection contractor's files, disconnected from the daily construction report.
Off-gas detection commissioning has no daily tracking
Off-gas detection is the early warning system for thermal runaway. Sensor calibration, alarm threshold verification, and response protocol testing must be documented during commissioning, but most daily reports ignore it entirely.
Electrical isolation and LOTO records are not linked to container work
Working inside energized BESS containers requires lockout/tagout procedures specific to DC systems. Paper LOTO logs never connect to the daily report showing which containers had work performed and by which crew.
How POD Closes the Gap
Four template capabilities that turn your BMS data into actionable daily documentation.
BMS temperature trending integrated into daily reports
POD reads cell temperature data from your BMS exports and flags containers where temperatures are trending above baseline. Your daily report includes thermal status for every container — not just "installation on track."
NFPA 855 compliance checklist per container
POD's BESS template includes every NFPA 855 requirement: fire suppression, ventilation rates, deflagration venting, spacing, and off-gas detection. Each container's compliance status is tracked from installation through energization.
Off-gas detection commissioning protocol tracking
Sensor calibration dates, alarm thresholds, response times, and test results are captured per container. POD creates a commissioning record that proves every off-gas system was verified before energization.
DC LOTO records linked to container activities
Every lockout/tagout event is tied to the specific container, the work performed, and the crew involved. POD verifies LOTO was documented before work inside any energized container proceeds.
Thermal Risk Intelligence — Container by Container
POD maps BMS cell temperature data to every container. Anomalies pulse red before they become thermal events.

The POD Difference
POD brings thermal monitoring into the daily report, so temperature trends and off-gas checks become a documented paper trail instead of data stranded in the BMS.
