Using electrical tomography to monitor real time LIB production process

工业层析成像系统有限公司（ITS）是一家设计和制造精密仪器的公司，提供对过程操作的深入了解。我们的产品在全球市场销售，具有工业4.0的未来潜力。在该项目中，ITS将采用我们的电子层析成像技术，以解决电池生产过程中存在的工业挑战，目前由于缺乏在线过程监控技术而受到影响。该项目针对电极生产过程，特别是在涂覆，干燥和干燥阶段，这是电池生产中非常常见的过程。目前，生产仍有改进的空间，在线监测仪器将有助于加快优化进度。优化的工艺可以降低产品报废率，提高电池性能的一致性。ITS建议使用创新的电子断层扫描技术，实时精确监控电极生产过程。电气断层扫描是一种非侵入性和非侵入性的技术，它可以扫描和重建过程为实时图像，使生产工程师能够“看到他们的过程内部”，并在不中断过程的情况下进行质量控制。在项目结束时，我们将有一个经过验证的系统设计，可以支持电池生产线，以达到更有效的过程，通过提高产量和提高质量的一致性。这将有助于英国gigafactory开发高效的生产流程。

Industrial Tomography Systems Ltd (ITS) is a designer and manufacturer of sophisticated instrumentation providing major insight into process operations. Our products are sold in global markets with future potential for Industry-4.0\. In this project, ITS will adapt our electrical tomography technology to tackle the existing industrial challenges in the battery production process, which is currently suffering due to a lack of in-line process monitoring technology.This project targets the electrode production process in particular during the coating, drying and calendaring stages, which are very common processes for battery production. Currently, there is still room for production improvement and an in-line monitoring instrument will help speed up the optimisation progress. An optimised process can reduce the product scrap rate and improve the consistency of battery performance.ITS is proposing to use an innovative electrical tomography technique to accurately monitor the electrode production process in real-time. Electrical tomography is a non-intrusive and non-invasive technique that scans and reconstructs a process into real-time images, which allow production engineers to 'see inside their processes' and perform quality control without interrupting the process. At the end of the project, we will have a proven system design that can support the battery production line to reach a more efficient process, by increasing yield and improving the quality consistency. This will help UK gigafactory to benefit in developing an efficient production process.
