Battery producers face several challenges in delivering the optimal battery solution.
FREMONT, CA: In the present competitive world, the battery manufacturing market is highly competitive, even though it is fast growing. Therefore, producers face several challenges in their quest to deliver the optimal battery solution.
Safety
Safety issues arise in the battery production procedure and the ready-made end product. Safe and proper operation of different raw materials, gases and modern chemical processes are essential parts of the production process. Improved energy density in batteries arrives with a price. In the worst potential conditions, short circuits and heat-related issues could induce a thermal runaway wherein flaming gases are ventilated.
Agility/speed
Time-to-market is important in an industry with integral growth, like battery manufacturing.
For example, it can take 5 years from idea/decision until a fresh battery plant is up and running. Regardless, with competent support with all phases of the build-up, computer-based design, testing and validation, precious time can be stored in large-scale green-field projects and capability ramp-ups.
Efficiency
In battery production, properties are never regular between particles, cells, modules, and packs. Simultaneously, manufacturers desire large-scale production with stable, consistent prophetic quality.
New integrated production methods must support production more, utilizing less energy and costly metals.
Environmental issues
Eco-friendly thinking and sourcing are essential throughout the lifecycle – from entering clean energy supply and minimum raw material intake to effective recycling solutions.
Advanced pollution control guaranteeing minimum emissions from the production process supports – so will optimized products with near zero influence during the whole battery life cycle.
