In 2022, the companies Dürr, Grob, and Manz formed the first European cooperation in the field of production technology for lithium-ion batteries. Now, at the Battery Show from June 18 to 20, 2024, in Stuttgart in Hall 10, Stand H40, the three partners will present a concept factory characterized by continuous process automation, coordinated interfaces, and integrated, holistic digitalization solutions. Dürr, Grob, and Manz possess a significant portion of the necessary machinery and equipment to cover the entire process chain from electrode manufacturing to cell assembly, modules, and pack assembly. In six defined workstreams, the planning placed particular emphasis on achieving above-average process efficiency for the facility.

Objective: Production with High Overall Equipment Effectiveness

A central role in development is played by both technical and digital interfaces between the trades of the three partners. Dürr subsidiary iTac, an expert in process digitalization, brings in its MES/MOM solution. This enables all production steps in battery manufacturing to be depicted end-to-end. This includes not only the control and planning of the entire production process but also the analysis and traceability. In total, the aim is to achieve manufacturing with high overall equipment effectiveness, resulting in lower operating costs. This is primarily achieved through the reduction of energy consumption and an overall smaller facility footprint.

Battery Production Facility from a Single Source

A first joint customer project, a facility for electrode manufacturing and battery cell assembly, is already being implemented. The joint project from a single source saves the customer from having to manage a complex project on their own, as the interfaces in the processing have also been coordinated. Everything from a single source specifically means that Dürr, Grob, and Manz offer execution based on proven project management standards. In the background, the companies have an extensive supplier network.

Lectures at Battery Show Europe 2024

As part of the conference program of the Battery Show Europe 2024, Dr. Hannes Schmüser (Member of the Board of Dürr Systems AG), German Wankmiller (Chairman of the Executive Board of Grob Group), and Martin Drasch (CEO of Manz AG) will speak about scaling European battery production.
