Battery Cell Dry and Wet Process
With the rapid growth in energy storage demands, manufacturers are striving to improve the efficiency and scalability of lithium-ion battery production. This session will explore the current state of manufacturing at VoltaXplore, where we utilize a wet electrode process, and our plans to scale production to 2GWh. We’ll take a deep dive into the key steps of the lithium-ion battery production process, including electrode mixing, coating, and assembly, as well as the challenges faced during scale-up.
Additionally, we will look ahead to the future of battery manufacturing, focusing on the dry electrode process pioneered by Tesla. This new method has the potential to significantly reduce production costs and environmental impact while improving manufacturing efficiency. Attendees will gain insights into how VoltaXplore plans to adopt this dry method as part of our next phase of expansion beyond 2GWh.
Join us for a comprehensive comparison of these processes, the benefits and trade-offs, and the role VoltaXplore will play in the future of high-performance lithium-ion battery production.
Smart Gigafactory Design
The surge of e-mobility has push de construction of multiple battery Gigafactories around the world. To be competitive those Gigafactories adopted the latest technologies to increase throughput and be smarter. However, they are still facing multiple challenges: logistic, quality control, Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE), Labor, supply chain, traceability, salability, and building management. Seems that AI could fix all that… This session will give an overview of the infrastructure that needs to be in place before AI can be of any help.
Join us to explore the challenges to put in place the infrastructure of a smart gigafactory and discover why AI is not necessary the best business solution. We will present the hardware and software design of a smart gigafactory – from the warehouse to mixing, coating, vacuum dry oven, cell assembly and formation.
More importantly, we will showcase real examples where there a still problems that needs to be solved by developing new products not available on the market or hard to integrate.
Expect to leave this talk with an overall understanding of factory software design and infrastructure, better knowledge of challenges that gigafactories are facing and how you might be able to help, and finally get a better perspective on implementing AI.
