Battery Manufacturing: The Road to 2030

Leveraging new software capabilities to efficiently scale EV battery manufacturing

How will battery manufacturers meet the five-fold increase in electric vehicle (EV) battery production needed by 2030?

Decarbonization of the transportation sector cannot be achieved without this massive build-out of EV battery production capacity. Governments worldwide are encouraging domestic production to attract jobs and promote long-term economic security, while simultaneously striving to mitigate long-term geopolitical and supply chain risks. Over the next seven years, manufacturers will be competing to increase their production capacity while simultaneously reducing their production costs.

Top Challenges for EV battery manufacturers include:

• Managing complex, interconnected processes
• Scaling production capacity
• Enterprise visibility & optimization
• Transition from linear to circular supply chains

This white paper explores each of these challenges in detail and illustrates how GE Digital’s Proficy software helps manufacturers tackle them. In particular, learn the critical role Proficy Smart Factory analyst-recognized Manufacturing Execution System (MES) plays in providing end-to-end visibility across the diverse battery production environment (i.e. supporting both continuous process and discrete manufacturing activities in a single platform).
