HONEYWELL REVOLUTIONIZES LARGE-SCALE BATTERY MANUFACTURING WITH AUTOMATION SOFTWARE
Battery Manufacturing Excellence Platform expects to reduce cell manufacturing costs, compress production ramp-up cycles and cut material waste by 60% at startup i
With traditional standalone solutions, battery manufacturers' material scrap rates can be as high as 30% at steady state and even higher during the facility startup processii. This practice can lead to millions of dollars of wasted energy and material while a gigafactory slowly scales to a more efficient and profitable production over several years.
Battery MXP incorporates AI techniques in the manufacturing process, which enables the detection and remediation of quality issues before they result in scrapped material. The solution then utilizes machine learning to identify conditions that lead to quality issues and turns this data into action-oriented insights that manufacturers can use to improve efficiency and productivity.
By delivering powerful data that can improve quality control and decision making on the plant floor, Battery MXP is designed to help manufacturers cut production ramp-up time, reduce startup material scrap rates by 60% and increase delivery rates to meet the growing demand for lithium-based batteries.iii
"With
By providing bidirectional traceability and genealogy, Battery MXP tracks battery cells from raw material to finished product in real time, helping to ensure product quality at every step. The solution also helps to address other key challenges faced by battery manufacturers by offering solutions for process controls, workforce management and thermal runaway battery fire prevention. These safety elements aid both operators in the gigafactory and end-users of the batteries to stay safe.
"The electrification of everyday life continues to increase global demand for quality lithium-ion batteries to power electric vehicles, consumer electronics and battery energy storage systems," said
The use of automation to advance the world's electrification journey supports
