The Fraunhofer FFB's technology management website aims to gather knowledge about the production process and present it engagingly. It focuses on displaying production steps and problem areas in battery cell production, particularly related to costs, energy consumption, and quality. The website not only provides transparency about current challenges but also showcases innovative solutions and new technologies through a technology radar that can help address these challenges. Battery-technology.net targets researchers, companies in the battery industry, and individuals interested in staying updated on the latest developments in this field.

One of the major challenges in battery cell production is the lack of easily accessible and transparent information. Understanding the relationships between costs, energy consumption, and quality can be quite challenging, making it difficult to streamline production processes. Battery-technology.net aims to address this issue by offering a detailed visualization of problem areas in the form of heat maps. These heat maps offer a clear overview of capital costs (CapEx), energy consumption, quality, and cleanroom requirements in battery cell production. This transparent presentation allows companies to spot areas for improvement and to make informed decisions to enhance their processes. In the future, the platform will also present solutions that will help users discover and implement new and innovative technologies in battery cell production.

Target groups and benefits

The platform targets a wide audience, from research and development departments to car manufacturers and investors. Specifically, for companies that are not yet involved in the battery industry, battery-technology.net provides useful insights and recommendations.

Consider a mechanical engineering company that is currently not involved in the battery industry, but recognizes the potential in the expanding market for electromobility and is looking for new business opportunities. By familiarizing itself with the production processes involved in battery cell manufacturing and identifying potential challenges, the company can investigate how its existing technologies or products could be utilized in battery production. This initiative can serve as a source of inspiration to help the company discover new business opportunities and develop innovative solutions to improve its long-term competitiveness. Equipped with this information, the company can start formulating initial concepts for integrating its existing technologies into battery production.

Scientific basis and regular updates

The information on battery-technology.net is based on the expertise of Fraunhofer FFB and is supplemented by scientific literature sources. A dedicated team of technology management experts ensures that the content is regularly updated and expanded to include new developments in battery cell production.

battery-technology.net will be a central point of contact for anyone involved in the production of battery cells or interested in entering this pioneering technology. The platform promotes transparency in battery cell production and supports companies in increasing their innovative strength and securing competitive advantages.
