Speakers Agenda
Firoozeh Flow
Your Factory Can Ramp Only as Fast as Your Operators Can Qualify
Slow operator ramp-up is a major driver of first-year scrap at gigafactory scale, yet training is usually an afterthought. Firoozeh Flow turns battery cell manufacturing know-how into intuitive, UX-inspired training for new operators to learn the process from zero. Written standard work and SOPs, first-person POV video, and learning guides built on each customer’s own machines. We’ll show how professional instructional design shortens the path from first day to qualified operator.
Henkel AG & Co. KGaA
Cooler Batteries – Better EVs
My keynote will shed light on how thermal management of battery packs is crucial and if not optimised can lead to bottlenecks in performance. It will show how Henkel can support as a trusted and reliable partner and how our know how and deep technological expertise can help design better battery packs. Thereby enabling better performing EVs.
ULT AG
Minienvironments for low dry room operation cost, when is it used most effectively?
Minienvironments (MEV) are very attractive with respect to the low operation cost of battery cell manufacturing. A positive impact on ramp rate and yield of production is expected. We show on which applications the use of MEV will be most favorable.
ZEISS Industrial Quality Solutions
Quality inspection from battery material to finished module
ZEISS Industrial Quality Solutions is the industrial metrology and quality-inspection division of ZEISS. Its portfolio spans electron and light microscopy, industrial computed tomography and X-ray, coordinate measuring machines and optical 3D systems, tied together by inspection software. Battery production runs through most of it: microstructure analysis of cathode and anode materials, technical cleanliness and burr inspection after electrode cutting, X-ray checks on electrode overhang and weld quality in finished cells, and CT inspection of assembled modules and battery trays.
Mercedes-Benz Energy
Stationary energy storage built from vehicle cells and batteries
Mercedes-Benz Energy GmbH, a subsidiary of Mercedes-Benz AG, has been developing stationary energy storage systems based on automotive battery modules since 2016. Vehicle batteries are repurposed as stationary storage — extending their useful life and delaying recycling — in scalable systems for commercial and industrial sites, available either as in-house installations or as containerised Battery Energy Storage Systems.
Agustín Solana’s pitch title and abstract will be added here shortly.
