Manufacturing Analytics to Improve Battery Quality and Accelerate Factory Ramp
The battery industry is racing to develop new manufacturing capacity as the EV and energy storage industries continue to outpace market expectations. Companies across the battery ecosystem have begun building new factories while facing the reality of long yield ramp times, supply chain immaturity, and a shortage of expertise — the typical gigafactory will take several years & billions in investment before reaching profitability.
In this webinar, we’ll review the industry’s first software solution that enables battery manufacturers to rapidly understand cell quality and the link to upstream production and materials characteristics. This insight, when paired with the ability to control and improve production quality at unprecedented speeds, helps accelerate production ramp and improve overall cell quality.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• Challenges around battery manufacturing scale-up and quality across industries
• Understanding parallels from the semiconductor industry
• Accelerating production ramp and improving yield, while reducing costs
• Leveraging AI and ML capabilities to surface quality problems ASAP
• How a fully integrated analytics solution can speed up battery manufacturingPresenter
Dr. Tal Sholklapper – Co-Founder & CEO at VoltaiqTal has an extensive record of success as a cleantech engineer and entrepreneur. Prior to founding Voltaiq, he worked as the lead engineer on a DOE ARPA-E funded project at the CUNY Energy Institute, developing an ultra low-cost grid-scale battery. Before joining CUNY, Tal co-founded Point Source Power, a low cost fuel-cell startup based on technology he developed while at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and UC Berkeley, where he also did his graduate work in Materials Science and Engineering. As a Materials Postdoctoral Fellow at LBNL, he successfully led the transfer of lab-scale technology to industry partners.

An Unsettled EV Market as Some Automakers Step Forward and Others Pull Back
Sales of battery electrics (including PHEVs) are growing and new products are launching and in development, but the market is unsettled. Tesla remains the market leader, but its product plan and market strategy is unclear, even as Elon Musk has become a polarizing figure affecting Tesla’s sales results while his influence via his support of President Trump is likely to affect regulatory policy.
How will the industry respond to the opportunities and challenges?
Consumer interest in electric vehicles continues to grow, but is dependent on manufacturer strategies, product plans, and perhaps most important, pricing which will be affected by likely changes in consumer incentives. Charge anxiety is a key issue and is being addressed by an improved public charging network. But consumers need more information on if and how EVs will meet their needs.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• Current sales and forecast to 2030
• Government policy is clearly changing, with action from all three branches at the federal level, as well as changes at the state level
• An effective strategy requires more than “Throwing the Switch” at a later date when multiple factors align
• Scale can be your friend or foe
• How evolving technology can lower costPresenter
