across the full lifecycle . A digital twin of battery product and production is becoming a key need for the battery industry given the rapid evolution of material chemistries , cell design as well as manufacturing techniques . Capturing a leadership position in a shifting industry necessitates agility and those changes need to be verified rapidly to retain optimal energy and raw material usage .
One of our customers is leveraging the Siemens digital twin framework to accelerate cell engineering and optimization and virtually commission production lines for full scale manufacturing scaling from laboratory production processes . Adopting this framework has allowed them to shorten the time it takes for battery cells to go from laboratory to production at scale while also meeting sustainability goals and their own unique requirements .
Large scale production problems require integrated solutions
One of the biggest challenges for large scale production is very high scrap rate . We have seen scrap rate being 40 percent or higher at start of cell production while in most cases staying just below ten percent when the fullspeed production capacity is achieved a few
