BMW Korea said on the 22nd that BMW headquarters and the Regional Center of Excellence for Robotic Technology at the University of Zagreb in Croatia will jointly conduct a research project called “Insight.”
The project aims to develop and implement practical AI models to optimize BMW Group’s battery cell manufacturing process.
By applying AI-based predictive models to forecast process parameters and performance data in advance, BMW plans to create conditions that reduce material input and production time by more than 50% during battery cell manufacturing.
The technology is expected to be used across the battery cell value chain, including electrode production, end-of-line testing and BMW’s in-house direct recycling. BMW’s Battery Cell Competence Center (BCCC) in Munich, Germany, is developing next-generation battery cells.
BMW said the Insight project’s AI predictive model is expected to support final approval procedures for battery cells. The company said that if a full analysis can be carried out in advance, it may be possible to skip the “quarantine” step of storing cells at a specified temperature.
