Battery Cell Production 4.0 – (Wednesday, 27.11.2024)
Discover the latest advancements in battery production through our engaging session at the IBPC2024. The session provides a comprehensive exploration of the entire battery production process—from mixing to cell finishing—with a special emphasis on innovative production techniques and digitalization.
Session: Automated Electrode and Cell Production
In the session, we will explore advanced processes in electrode and cell production, focusing on innovative drying techniques, semi-dry methods, and continuous coating approaches. We’ll examine how process parameters affect electrode structure and, ultimately, their performance characteristics. Additionally, the session will showcase advanced inline measurement technologies, utilizing sensors for quality control in battery cell manufacturing. We will also discover the latest automation innovations, particularly in z-folding, where industry-scale robotics and precise process control ensure high throughput and quality.
You’ll also gain insights into the integration of grippers, transport systems, cameras, and sensors for stable, reproducible production processes. The session will delve into automated cell assembly and digitization tools, including tracking, tracing, and data mining, to improve product quality, reduce scrap, and minimize resource waste.
