About us

The DigiCell project aims to revolutionise the battery value chain by transforming the manufacturing and testing processes of battery cells and packs. Using advanced modelling and machine learning techniques, DigiCell seeks to make these processes more efficient, reliable, and sustainable. The project applies AI-based models to simulate battery behaviour under various conditions and to correlate battery performance with material properties. This approach allows for real-time simulations and information exchange with actual production lines, significantly reducing material waste and enhancing battery life-cycle performance. Ultimately, DigiCell's innovations will contribute to a greener future by supporting the transition to renewable energy sources and the electrification of transportation.

Approach

Based on the development of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) workflows, open-source software, international standards and FAIR data, DigiCell aims to advance battery cell and pack production. The overarching concept of a digital twin, which enables real-time simulation and information exchange in battery manufacturing lines, serves as a quality control method enhancing the ability to predict process and product quality characteristics of battery cells and packs more effectively and accurately.

DigiCell combines advanced battery and materials tests with multi-physics modelling and integrates them into an open-environment ecosystem. This way, we are aiming to revolutionise the EU scientific landscape for batteries, supported by AI-based data analytics. With DigiCell, we are generating a long-term impact by increasing the competitiveness of large-scale industrial production of batteries in Europe.
