AVL Battery Innovation Center | Opening and Tour

In the AVL Battery Innovation Center, functional battery development is closely linked with the expertise of production planners and input from parts and machine manufacturers. The result is that batteries developed by AVL display a far higher degree of maturity across all phases of development. Furthermore, the process through to market maturity is also significantly quicker, as function, manufacturability and costs can be balanced and optimized at an early stage. This improves the reliability of the validation and ensures a consistently high quality. The BIC is designed for a wide range of battery developments. All the current core processes of module and pack production can be mapped at the various stations, some of which are fully automated. Regardless of cell type, target voltage and integration level, it will be possible to reproduce all the steps involved in module construction and, in the future, pack construction. Furthermore, the industrial robots in the BIC enable AVL to meet requirements in the areas of Cell-to-Body and Module-to-Chassis, which are increasingly important for automobile manufacturers. The improvement of production processes is accompanied by advanced Virtual Reality (VR) methods. Augmented Reality (AR) is increasingly used in the field of assembly processes. This makes it possible to develop products parallel to the industrialization of batteries to a degree previously unattained. This, in turn, reduces the times-to-market. Other highlights of the Battery Innovation Center include the validation of manufacturing technologies in real large-scale production conditions. The production processes designed can be tested thoroughly in real conditions in the pilot line. This makes it possible to industrially process all the cell types currently available on the market, with sizes right up to Cell-to-Pack dimensions. Furthermore, batteries – ranging from individual A-sample production to batches of several hundred batteries – can also be manufactured in the BIC, whilst comprehensively monitoring defined quality characteristics.
