Why do we need automation in battery production?

Demand for lithium-ion batteries is booming. From smartphones and tablets to e-cars: nothing runs without batteries. Accordingly, the required quantities in battery production are increasing rapidly. The solution lies in automation. This is because the manufacture of batteries is technically demanding and requires high safety standards.

Why are battery machine builders turning to automation?

With the demand for battery solutions driven by global green energy trends outstripping machine supply, strong competition is necessitating smarter approaches to battery machine design. Battery machine builders are turning to automation to stay ahead of the curve.

Can automation reduce battery production costs?

Solutions for battery manufacturing (PDF) EVs: Electrification of the Power Train (PDF) The race for efficient systems is already well under way. Our observations indicate that efficient automation can considerably reduce battery production costs. Why not share with your colleagues how Festo can contribute in this area.

How can Smart Design and automation improve eV and ESS batteries?

To meet these varied needs, smart design and automation solutions are crucial to improving the manufacturing and assembly of both battery types. Here’s how: A modular assembly line helps manufacturers quickly adapt to producing and assembling both EV and ESS batteries.

How can a battery manufacturer get to market faster?

Our portfolio of innovative, flexible and complete production solutions enables battery manufacturers to get to market faster through cross-technology production systems that target key manufacturing steps, such as electrode and cell production, battery module and pack assembly stations and end-of-line testing.

Is battery production a safe process?

Battery production is an extremely sensitive process. Every step, whether processing, transporting or quality inspection, requires a clean production environment.
