BMW Group has launched an initiative to innovate battery cell production processes using artificial intelligence (AI) in collaboration with the Center of Excellence for Robotics Technology (CRTA) at the University of Zagreb in Croatia.

The core of the joint 'Insight' research project undertaken by both parties is the introduction of practical AI prediction models across the entire battery cell value chain, from electrode production to final line testing and direct recycling. The AI-based prediction models introduced through this project will predict process parameters and performance data in advance, drastically reducing the materials and time required for battery cell production by more than 50% compared to existing methods.

In particular, since the AI system performs battery cell analysis in advance, it is expected to maximize production efficiency by eliminating the previously essential 'quarantine' stage, which involves storing cells at specific temperatures for a specific period. According to the company, it is consolidating key know-how related to battery cells through three capability centers located in Munich (R&D), Parsdorf (Yangsan process), and Zell (recycling) in Germany, and plans to further strengthen its competitiveness in next-generation battery production through the application of this AI technology.
