The manufacture of electrodes places the highest demands on the machinery and the associated process. In the field of electrode coating, the main focus is on slot die coating and the downstream drying process. During the subsequent calendaring process, the desired porosity is set by means of compaction. Any remaining solvent is removed in the final post-drying process. The so-called roll-to-roll process is gaining ground here as an alternative to vacuum drying. This presentation deals with selected detailed topics in the 3 areas mentioned above. In the area of coating, the slot-die process and the drying process will be highlighted. In the area of calendaring, attention will be paid to disruptive factors during calendaring and a newly developed residual moisture measurement principle will be presented for the post-drying process to detect the smallest residual solution quantities of 300ppm and less.

Energy storage is increasingly being used on a large scale. But there have also been fire accidents, posing a risk to safety. A built-in module inside cell can detect abnormalities at an early stage and interventions are possible, this will greatly reduce the safety risk and improve the reliability of the battery.

We show a technical solution that relies on EVE's 628Ah battery cell, with a built-in module that can detect key signals such as temperature and pressure. Using artificial intelligence methods, battery abnormalities can be recognized in advance.

We show the technical work and results we have obtained so far, and discuss the direction of future work. We hope that this technology can be further developed and applied to real-world.

Battery manufacturers are faced with many challenges on their journey to mass production: from the day-to-day reality of operations, to detecting and preventing safety events, and ensuring a reliable supply of materials. Manufacturing inefficiencies can contribute to low yields which often correlate to safety-related defects and profit loss. All layers of the manufacturing operating system need to work seamlessly from the hardware on the plant floor to the corrective actions in the quality system to achieve battery manufacturing excellence. Join this session to learn how Honeywell is able to vertically integrate data into insight and build a closed loop adaptive system for safe, efficient and high-quality battery production.

There are seven aspects we see as industrial trends of battery production - increasing equipment size and capacity, automation to minimize manpower, more simplified processes, standardization, smarter manufacturing, more energy saving production and digitalization. This session focuses on how ONGOAL's latest products and technologies enhance the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of battery production, featuring state-of-the-art equipment and systems in cathode and anode active materials production and cell manufacturing.

The far-reaching benefits of electrification are clear, but the promise of a battery-powered future is hindered by shortcomings and risk…fires, recalls, range, costs, recyclability, and more. Not content with incremental improvements nor wanting to wait another decade, 24M and its partners are pioneering innovations ready to implement and fundamentally improve the battery landscape today.

Often disregarded but crucial in every aspect, separators play an important role in battery development & production. Delfort’s latest innovation, IonPort separators, bring significant benefits to both manufacturing efficiency and battery performance. Delfort has developed cutting-edge separators specifically designed for secondary batteries.

Gas supply is just one of many factors that companies must consider along the battery supply chain. While it may seem like just another box to check on your list, the right gas supply is as critical as any other utility employed. The US eV market is highly dynamic, requiring a supply chain that is built to be flexible with changing chemistries, form factors and production capacities. Without the right gas supply chain, your project will not be as efficient.

Join us to find out how Airgas’ experience in gas applications can help you improve your project from start to finish for the following critical initiatives:

Battery plants have been suffering from cost overruns and schedule delays due to numerous challenging issues that arise during the course of project execution. In this presentation, a review of different project-execution strategies are reviewed to compare the benefits and advantages of each option, including cost control, schedule certainty, flexibility, and adherence to quality criteria. Despite the option selected, appropriate planning and project management tends to improve the outcome, and therefore, recommendations are made for each execution model highlighted.

Drawing from years of deep engagement with battery manufacturers globally, we will describe how real customers use ultrasound & AI to manufacture lower-cost, higher-quality cells at scale. Ultrasound detects subtle internal variations, uncovering defects & process inconsistencies that other methods miss. AI adds predictive power & classification of issues based on learned examples. We discuss how manufacturers can leverage ultrasound and AI during in-line production to optimize quality & cost.

As the global battery market is dominated by a flood of inexpensive cells from China, the modern battery company must focus on speed and efficiency in order to stay competitive. This session will cover how OEMs can mitigate downstream risks from cheap, variable quality battery cells, how battery companies can compete with them, and how digital strategy is key to moving faster and doing more with less.
