We are pleased to share that the BATTwin project was featured at the BATTERY 2030+ 6th Annual Conference, held on 7–8 May 2026 in Turin, where Maria Chiara Magnanini introduced the project and highlighted its role in supporting Europe’s battery-manufacturing scale-up.

In her presentation, she emphasized that the rapid industrial ramp-up is closely tied to effective defect management. This makes Zero Defect Manufacturing a key competitiveness factor, with more disruptive and integrated approaches needed as defects arise from complex interactions and process variability across critical manufacturing stages such as mixing, calendering, and stacking.

BATTwin addresses this challenge through the system-level integration of distributed digital twins that cover these critical manufacturing steps, already in the early configuration and operations phase of manufacturing . This enables improved system configuration, more robust process control, and a smarter deployment of quality gates, thus supporting multi-objective optimisation that balances productivity with high yield, product quality and results in reduction of ramp-up time .

In addition, the audience’s interest centred on two core topics, namely how process variability can be addressed holistically at system level, and the data availability for building and validating digital twins.

All in all, the discussion and connections during the event confirmed the strong relevance of BATTwin in advancing digital, high-quality, and competitive European battery manufacturing.
