Operational services aim to collect product data on post-use Li-Ion batteries about their use phase in order to enable monitoring and full traceability of its life-cycle;

Operational services aim to:

• elaborate and analyse various data collected about post-use batteries to predict the conditions of the battery packs, modules and cells;
• define a Decision Support System to identify the best disassembly and remanufacturing strategy, given the post-use Li-Ion battery conditions.

As the proactive exploitation of the DigiPrime platform enables the car-monitored SOH tracing and availability, less testing is needed to assess the residual capacity of the battery. Moreover, by knowing the structure of the battery packs, a decision support system can be implemented to adjust the de-and remanufacturing strategy accordingly and select the most proper cells for re-assembly second-life modules, thus unlocking a systematic circular value chain for Li-ion battery cells re-use. Furthermore, excessively degraded cells which cannot be re-used can be sent to high-value recycling, based on the knowledge of their material compositions.
