Battery Cell Manufacturing Process improvement: Advanced X-ray and Magnetic Resonance Solutions
Webinar Overview
Optimizing the production of Lithium-Ion Batteries (LIBs) hinges on several critical factors. Material costs are a significant expense, and high product failure rates can lead to substantial scrappage and waste, thereby increasing development time and costs.
Key focus areas for improvement include reducing costly material waste (cathode, anode, and electrolyte), enhancing raw material characterization and quality control, and conducting failure analysis to understand the chemical and structural performance of failed components, using this feedback to implement improvements.
Join us for an insightful webinar where experts in Advanced X-ray and Magnetic Resonance Solutions will discuss how these cutting-edge technologies can significantly enhance LIB production. Our experts will cover strategies to reduce material waste, improve quality control, and conduct thorough failure analysis. Learn how these powerful analytical tools can optimize manufacturing processes, ensuring higher efficiency and lower costs. This session is essential for battery industry manufacturers looking to stay ahead in a competitive market.
