Integrating predictive maintenance in the framework of lithium-ion battery manufacturing

MANAGEMENT SUMMARY

The increase in battery production including numerous gigafactories implies inevitable improvement in manufacturing efficiency and productivity. Due to this rapid development, integrated engineering systems become increasingly complex. This entails unanticipated faults in production processes that range from simple replacements to accidents, provoking fast costs in lost productivity as well as human and environmental resources. Damage induced or regular maintenance strategies according to the standard DIN 31051 do not exhibit capabilities in completely eradicating faults and thus no longer
