iTAC will be demonstrating how the battery industry can be driven forward by smart manufacturing as a speaker and sponsor at the virtual event “Smart Manufacturing Now!” from September 23 to 26. The online event will focus on topics such as sustainability, productivity and growth in the manufacturing industry.

As demand for electric cars increases, battery production must also pick up speed. Production capacities must be able to be expanded quickly and manufacturing efficiency must be continuously improved in order to keep pace with demand and reduce production costs. Strict quality controls and safety measures must be in place to ensure that the batteries are safe to use.

“Smart manufacturing, in other words essentially intelligent production, involves the integration of modern digitalization and automation solutions as well as the use of artificial intelligence to make production processes more efficient, flexible, adaptable and resource-saving. The goals in battery production, for example, are real-time traceability and AI-supported data-driven decisions to improve quality and reduce waste,” explains Martin Strempel, Business Development Manager Data Analytics at iTAC.

In a presentation at MESA International’s virtual event “Smart Manufacturing Now!”, the expert will use iTAC’s “Manufacturing Analytics Control” product line to demonstrate how crucial analyses are for process optimization.

iTAC is a MESA member and sponsor of the event. “We are looking forward to taking part in this prestigious event. The international exchange allows us to think outside the box and jointly develop new ideas for more efficient, more sustainable and higher quality production processes in various industries,” explains Martin Heinz, member of the iTAC Software AG Management Board.
