The global lithium battery manufacturing industry is developing rapidly in response to the increasing demand for clean energy. Alongside this growth, the industry faces several challenges, including improving quality while reducing the amount of material that does not meet specified specifications, so-called off-spec material. In addition, one must improve throughput and volumes, manage cost pressures and reduce battery prices, while always ensuring safety and environmental responsibility. ABB’s plant optimization approach is designed to address these challenges and helps design, equip and commission new plants for more efficient operation.
”Our collaboration with ABB will be invaluable to this project and improve the efficiency and safety of our new battery factories,” said Steven Chen, senior VP of EVE Energy and CEO of EVE Energy Storage. ”We look forward to working with ABB to design and implement solutions for optimized battery manufacturing and contribute to the ongoing work towards sustainable energy production.”
Solutions that cover the entire value chain
The integration of EICD technology is designed to create comprehensive, optimized solutions that improve every phase of project implementation. One of these efficiency gains is the imperative need to ensure worker health and safety. By automating and streamlining these systems, ABB minimizes risk and reduces interface complexity, ensuring a seamless and efficient process from design to implementation. ABB’s Adaptive Execution strategy transforms both physical and digital activities and delivers standardized global projects while keeping capital expenditures (CAPEX) to a minimum.
ABB’s end-to-end solutions cover the entire battery manufacturing value chain, from material procurement to production and recycling, and include ABB’s Ability family MOM solution (Manufacturing Operations Management) and ABB Ability Energy and Asset Manager, which provides comprehensive visibility and control over manufacturing processes and energy consumption. These tools will enable EVE to optimize production, reduce energy use and ensure the highest quality standards.
