The increasing demand for electromobility brings with it new challenges for industrial battery production. To meet these requirements, thyssenkrupp Automation Engineering combines modern 3D printing technology with AI-supported process optimization. The aim is to develop efficient and flexible assembly lines that are tailored to the specific needs of the industry.
The use of 3D printing plays a central role in this. With high-performance printers such as the Markforged FX20, thyssenkrupp produces hundreds of customized components directly on site. These components, which impress with their mechanical strength and precision, are seamlessly integrated into the assembly lines. This shortens development times and reduces production costs.
“Reliability, the simple mark-forged system and repeat accuracy make the difference for us,” explains Martin Krüger, Development Engineer.
In addition to additive manufacturing, the company relies on artificial intelligence to further increase the efficiency of the assembly lines. Siemens Industrial Copilot, an AI-based software, supports employees in the operation and optimization of complex automation processes. This not only reduces programming times, but also increases the flexibility of the machines so that they can react quickly to changing requirements.
With this combination of innovative technology and practical implementation, thyssenkrupp is positioning itself as a pioneer in battery production. The combination of 3D printing and AI makes it possible to develop high-performance assembly lines that meet the growing demands of electromobility. These approaches show what the battery production of the future could look like: adaptable, efficient and technologically state-of-the-art.
