What is lithium-ion battery factory of the future?

With our Lithium-Ion Battery Factory of the Future (LBF) project, we are developing highly efficient machines and processes for the fully automated production of next-generation lithium-ion batteries.

What is battery cell production?

Battery Cell Production As a supplier of turnkey production lines, we provide the complete production process for the manufacture of lithium-ion battery cells. Our expertise in automation, assembly, laser processes and integrated inspection systems enables innovative solutions for the production of pouch cells, prismatic cells and round cells.

What are the complexities in EV battery production?

One of the primary complexities in electric vehicle battery production is ensuring the precise assembly of individual cells, a key component of EV batteries. Each battery cell must be precisely aligned and connected to form a functional battery pack.

Why is the demand for lithium-ion batteries increasing?

The global demand for production technology for lithium-ion battery cells and modules is continuously increasing and will continue to rise sharply in the coming years, also driven by the expansion of electromobility.

Why are large battery factories being built in Europe?

Large battery factories are being built in many places in Europe to meet the demand for cells. As this production is very space-, energy- and time-intensive, it is important to design the production processes as efficiently as possible without negatively affecting the product properties of the battery cells.

How can battery cells be made?

Another project in Germany, called FoFeBat, has set up a research production facility for battery cells to be built using all the production steps from mixing the electrode materials to forming the cells.
