Launch of battery-technology.net

In a time when technological innovation is crucial for the competitiveness of European battery cell production, transparency is becoming increasingly important. Publicly accessible information about production, challenges, and opportunities forms the basis for a dialogue that moves the industry forward. To promote this transparency and create a deeper understanding of the complex processes in battery cell production, Fraunhofer FFB’s Technology Management has launched the new website battery-technology.net.

With this website, Fraunhofer FFB aims to consolidate knowledge about the production process and present it in a visually appealing way. The focus is on mapping out the production steps and bottlenecks in battery cell production, particularly in terms of cost, energy consumption, and quality. The website not only offers transparency about current challenges but will also, in the future, introduce innovative solutions and new technologies through a Technology Radar to help address these challenges. Battery-technology.net targets researchers and companies in the battery industry, as well as interested individuals looking to learn more about the latest developments in this field.

The Key to Optimization: Transparency in Production
One of the biggest issues in battery cell production is the lack of publicly available and transparent information. The links between cost, energy consumption, and quality are often difficult to grasp, making it hard to optimize production processes. Battery-technology.net addresses this problem with detailed visualizations of the bottlenecks, including heatmaps that provide a clear overview of capital expenditure (CapEx), energy use, quality requirements, and cleanroom demands in battery cell production. This transparent presentation allows companies to identify optimization potential and make informed decisions to improve their processes. In the future, solutions will also be presented to help users discover and implement new and innovative technologies in battery cell manufacturing.

Target Groups and Benefits
The website caters to a broad audience, ranging from research and development departments to car manufacturers and investors. Especially for companies not yet active in the battery industry, battery-technology.net offers valuable insights and inspiration. A typical example:

A machine-building company that hasn’t yet ventured into the battery industry sees potential in the growing electric mobility market and is seeking new business opportunities. Through the website, they can explore the production steps in battery cell manufacturing and identify bottlenecks. With the clear presentation of these processes, the company can develop ideas on how their existing technologies or products could be utilized in battery production. This inspiration helps them uncover new business models and create innovative solutions, strengthening their long-term competitiveness.

Scientific Foundation and Regular Updates
The information provided on battery-technology.net is based on Fraunhofer FFB’s expertise and is complemented by scientific literature. A dedicated team of experts ensures that the content is regularly updated and expanded with new developments in battery production.

With battery-technology.net, a central platform is emerging for anyone involved in battery cell production or looking to enter this promising technology field. The platform not only promotes transparency in battery cell manufacturing but also helps companies enhance their innovation capabilities and gain competitive advantages. Visit battery-technology.net and gain insight into the production process and the challenges involved.
