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
A walk through the full battery production chain and what has to be inspected at each stage: material structure and raw material processing, burr inspection and technical cleanliness at the electrode, overhang and weld quality in cells and modules, and the structural integrity of the battery tray. Electron and X-ray microscopy, technical cleanliness analysis and inline X-ray inspection — presented as one holistic quality approach rather than a set of isolated measurement steps.
