The core vision of the BATMACHINE project is centered on strengthening Europe’s battery cell industrial manufacturing value chain by developing new battery cell manufacturing machinery. This is done whilst giving priority to minimizing the energy for cells production, enhancing plant efficiency rates and integrating intelligent control processes to reduce scrap. BATMACHINE will develop and implement an optimized and energy-efficient process chain. Digital interfaces between battery manufacturing equipment, control system, and engineers will be developed with the aim of building universal digitalization tools to enhance the battery production and create a battery passport. The environmental and economic impact of different machinery, production line configurations and factory designs will be deeply studied to reduce the cost and energy consumption of manufacturing processes.
