Disassembly of multivariant and hazardous workpieces - Battery disassembly production pilot case

Disassembly of multivariant and hazardous workpieces - Battery disassembly production pilot case
Summary

The EV battery industry is currently handling most of its disassembling processes for recycling purposes by manual means. Current operational procedures lead to destroying electronic equipment that requires further separation to achieve lithium recovery.

This use case will address those manual processes that imply a risk to human operators and are time-consuming. EV battery packs and modules dismantling will be done faster and safer in a coordinated effort of human operators and robotic solutions. EV recycling processes will not only improve dismantling time but also open the possibilities for cleaner lithium recovery.
