Process optimization through process- and data-independent data analysis in battery production

Initial situation

  • A battery manufacturer on its way to becoming the European market leader for car batteries needed support in improving its quality
  • The market environment was characterized by high quality requirements and dynamic competition
  • The company's chemical and electrotechnical processes led to relatively high reject rates
  • The company therefore urgently needed support in analyzing and optimizing its manufacturing processes

Our approach

  • Perform holistic recording and analysis of processes
    • Record the entire battery manufacturing process including process parameters
    • Perform comprehensive, investigative and agnostic data analysis
    • Promote close collaboration between manufacturing and data experts and develop expertise in data analysis, data visualization and manufacturing technology
  • Develop a detailed understanding of the key parameters of the battery manufacturing process that influence the quality of the cells
