Reduction of rejects and optimization of battery cell quality

As a process engineer, it is crucial to safeguard product quality and minimize rejects. Our digitalization solutions are designed to help you optimize all of the steps in the battery cell manufacturing process. Using the latest technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT), we apply machine learning to monitor and analyze all of your production data in real time so that you can respond immediately to quality deviations and take preventative measures. This leads to a significant reduction in CoPQ (cost of poor quality) and helps to keep your production line running smoothly and efficiently.

Innovative solutions from Fraunhofer that have helped our customers to overcome their challenges:

• Event-based feedback loops for coating processes for electrodes Implementation of a system for automatic process control of the slot die, based on machine data for optimizing the coating thickness and for a homogeneous electrode coating.
  
  
• Single-cell tracking for the assembly of battery cells
  Introduction of a marking system to ensure complete traceability of each cell in order to monitor the factors influencing cell performance and to ensure correct assignment of data to the individual cell. Maintenance of the traceability chain across all continuous and discrete processes, from mixing to forming.
  
  
• Use of the battery passport during production
  Improvement in traceability throughout the value chain by assigning all process parameters, cell properties and resource consumption (e.g., CO₂ footprint) to the product so that this information can be shared in the value creation network in a targeted and secure way. The battery passport opens up further opportunities to analyze individual battery cells throughout the production process.

We can work with you to improve your production processes through digitalization and take your efficiency and quality to the next level. Our custom digitalization solutions give you the support you need to overcome the challenges of modern battery production and achieve your goals.
