Overview

The white paper focuses on optimizing battery manufacturing processes through advanced industrial computed tomography (CT) scanning and data analysis. It emphasizes the critical role of non-destructive testing technologies in ensuring the quality and reliability of battery cells, packs, and modules, particularly in the competitive electric vehicle (EV) market.

Key challenges in battery production, such as anode overhang, delamination, and weld seam quality, are addressed. The paper highlights how CT scanning provides comprehensive insights that surpass traditional visual inspections and post-production testing. However, the vast amounts of data generated require sophisticated software for effective analysis. VGSTUDIO MAX, Hexagon's advanced evaluation and analysis software, is presented as a leading solution that enables manufacturers to harness CT data for high-quality inspections throughout the production process.

The white paper also discusses the integration of machine learning and deep learning capabilities into VGSTUDIO MAX, which enhances defect detection and segmentation tasks. These AI tools allow for automated analysis and provide actionable insights that can inform design changes and improve production efficiency. Statistical process control is highlighted as a crucial step in quantifying insights derived from deep learning, helping manufacturers monitor production variables and optimize battery performance.

Furthermore, the document underscores the importance of adhering to evolving regulatory standards, such as the EURO-7, which mandates that batteries retain a significant portion of their capacity over time. The paper concludes by reinforcing the necessity of continuous innovation and sustainable practices in battery manufacturing, positioning the industry as vital for future energy solutions.

Overall, the white paper serves as a comprehensive guide for battery manufacturers seeking to enhance quality, profitability, and competitiveness through intelligent data utilization and advanced manufacturing techniques.
