Lithium Ion Battery Assembly and Remanufacturing facility (Li-BAR)

该项目将确定UltraMax运营的电池组组装和再制造设施的可行性，以供应英国汽车行业。UltraMax目前在中国运营着一家锂电池组装工厂，然而，为了满足英国/欧盟现有和新客户的需求，汽车产品需要缩短交货时间和提高质量控制水平。预计共同选址将在电池的整个使用寿命中提供最佳使用，通过再利用最大化组件的价值，最大限度地降低运营和资本成本，同时减少浪费。该项目的关键成果将是一个强有力的商业案例，以加速UltraMax寻求外部投资的进程。该项目将包括客户和设备供应商参与、生产工艺开发、工厂布局评估、物流和人员评估，以及最后的业务案例开发。该工厂将满足英国电池生产快速增长的需求，支持和加速汽车行业的电气化。到2030年，预计英国将需要生产60GWh的电池，其中估计有1-5GWh的电池将达到寿命终点。拟议中的基金将有助于应对这两个挑战。**UltraMax**（由Baruch Enterprises拥有-如门户网站所述）-是一家电池组制造公司，在中国拥有500MWh的工厂，在铅酸替代锂离子电池市场处于领先地位。他们的英国业务提供产品分销，测试设施和碱性电池生产设施。他们在采购电池设备和运营成功的电池和电池制造公司方面经验丰富。**HSSMI -** HSSMI是一家非营利性的研究和技术开发机构，专门从事精益和大批量生产实践的开发和实施。HSSMI支持了几个英国电池、电池和再制造项目的开发、扩大和设计。

This project will determine the feasibility of co-located battery pack assembly and remanufacturing facilities, operated by UltraMax, to supply the UK Automotive Sector. UltraMax currently run a lithium battery assembly facility in China, however, to meet the needs of existing and new customers in the UK/EU, reductions in lead times and higher levels of quality control are required for automotive products.It is expected that the co-located sites will provide optimal use of batteries throughout their lives, maximise value leveraged from components through reuse and minimise operational and capital costs while reducing waste. The key outcome from this project will be a robust business case to accelerate the process in which UltraMax will seek external investment.The project will include customer and equipment supplier engagement, production process development, factory layout estimation, logistics and personnel assessment, and finally business case development.The facility will respond to the need for a rapid increase in battery production in the UK, supporting and accelerating the electrification of the Automotive sector. By 2030 it is expected that 60GWh of batteries will need to be produced in the UK with an estimated 1-5GWh of this reaching end of life. The proposed facility will help to address both challenges.**UltraMax** (Owned by Baruch Enterprises -- as described on the portal)- Is a battery pack manufacturing company leading the market in lead acid replacement, lithium-ion batteries with their 500MWh facility in China. Their UK operations provide distribution of their products, testing facilities and an Alkaline battery production facility. They are experienced in sourcing battery equipment and running successful battery and cell manufacturing companies.**HSSMI -** HSSMI is a not-for-profit research and technology development institute who specialises in developing and implementing lean and high-volume manufacturing practices.
