Unleash Production Capability of
Lithium Ion Battery Giga-Factories
Electric vehicles and static storage systems are the main factors driving exponential demand increases in the European lithium-ion battery (LIB) market in the coming years. LIB forms the foundation upon which the future of the renewable energy and automotive industries will depend, and supply chain localization is therefore of critical strategic importance to European nations.
Electrode/cell quality and manufacturing equipment parameters are under strict monitoring and control using cutting edge machine vision and real-time control technologies to assure battery lifetime, performance and safety.
20% ~ 35% battery production cost reduction (excluding materials) can be achieved by operational excellence to keep Giga-factories profitable as LIB market prices decrease.
Advantech offers advanced solutions to keep Giga-factories competitive:
The giga-factories and its IEM & SI suppliers are facing global competition. High production capacity, high quality and manufacturing cost down are the keys to winning and keeping market share. Advantech offers comprehensive solutions featuring modular design, cloud connectivity capabilities and advanced computing, communication technologies to support IEMs & SIs to quickly build & connect high efficiency manufacturing and test equipment, helping the giga-factories to quickly ramp up their capacities with best quality and low cost.
Modular design enables IEMs & SIs to build customized systems by using building blocks to quickly fulfil their project demands and reduce system qualification effort.
Remote management features reduce on-site service costs for OEMs & SIs, and increases capacity utilization for the giga-factory owner. Amazon AWS and Microsoft Azure certified platforms enable machine to cloud connectivity for data analytics, device & software management and AI model edge inference deployment.
AI/ML enables high speed inspection, precise material handing, predictive maintenance and process optimization to enhance efficiency of giga-factories.
Advantech machine vision solutions consisting of cutting-edge CPU/GPU computing platforms, frame grabbers and smart cameras for IEM/SI can be used in many applications during the production process in order to build state-of-the-art quality inspection and create vision-guided robot/AMR solutions.
Advantech real-time solutions consisting of compact, rugged platforms, I/O modules and EtherCAT or CODESYS software for IEM/SI can be used to build front-end roll-to-roll electrode and back-end cell/pack assembly equipment for multi-axes, deterministic and low latency control.
