Material Flow of an Agile Battery Cell Production System Based on Diffusion-Tight Transport Boxes and Driverless Transport Systems
Abstract (englisch):
The growing demand for lithium-ion battery cells, driven by increasing
electrification in daily life, is currently met by inflexible mass production plants
using rigidly linked manufacturing lines. These are set up in large dry rooms to
protect moisture-sensitive battery materials. Since up to 30% of the total energy
demand is caused by the operation of these dry rooms, the agile and customized
battery cell production is based on compact local dry rooms, also calledmicroenvironments.
This publication presents the development and validation of a diffusiontight
transport box that enables the transportation of moisture-sensitive intermediate
products between these microenvironments. The flexible and configurable
material flow can incorporate alternative process routes. Furthermore, a modular
expansion of the production system is enabled. By combining reusable diffusiontight,
automatically handled transport boxes and driverless transport systems, this
approach enables an agile material flow in battery cell production.
