Opening of the world’s first agile battery cell production AgiloBat at KIT

In an effort to make the future production of battery cells (for uses such as electromobility or power tools) more flexible, researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) have set up an agile battery cell production system. Using a highly flexible robotic automation system, they have reached a level of flexibility previously achievable only with manual cell production. This will enable companies to adapt to new technologies and volatile markets more quickly and can boost Germany’s industrial competitiveness. The project received EUR 19 million in federal and state funding.
