THE PROJECT
BATTwin
Flexible and scalable digital-twin platform for enhanced production efficiency and yield in battery cell production lines
The BATTwin is a 42-month project that started in December 2023. This project has received funding from the European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency under grant agreement No. 101137954 (€ 6,355 million grant). It has the participation of 16 partner organisations, led by the Politecnico di Milano.
The objective of BATTwin is to support the high demand for battery manufacturing equipment in Europe, by developing a novel Multi-level Digital Twin platform towards Zero-Defect Manufacturing in battery production, that will reduce defect rates in battery production lines.
The solution integrates four pillars, namely:
- Multi-sensor data acquisition and management layer, supported by data semantics through a Digital Battery Passport data model.
- Process-level digital twins, modelling the critical stages of electrode manufacturing, cell assembly and conditioning through multi-physics, data-driven and hybrid approaches.
- System-level digital twins, based on simulation and analytical modelling.
- User-centric, goal-driven digital twin workflows, increasing the explainability of digital twins and driving the user in system design and control.
