Production line for lithium battery cells for the automotive or e-bike industry.

Kaiserslautern. Simulation of the Production of Lithium-Ion Cells and Battery Packs

Large battery factories are being built in many places in Europe to meet the demand for cells. As this production is very space-, energy- and time-intensive, it is important to design the production processes as efficiently as possible without negatively affecting the product properties of the battery cells. This is where our researchers at the Fraunhofer ITWM provide support with physical simulation models for specific process steps.
