Spatially Resolved Traceability in Battery Cell Electrode Production
FRAUNHOFER FFB · MÜNSTER · 2026
A traceability architecture that captures 100% of process and quality parameters across all electrode manufacturing stations: Mixing, Coating, Drying, Calendering, and Slitting. Mapped OPC UA equipment signals to traceable production events and designed timestamp-validation logic that surfaced architectural failures, working with FFB Prefab machines to make data acquisition feasible for Fab-scale lines.
An interactive Power BI dashboard built to monitor performance KPIs: sales, profit, and quantity broken down by region, state, and year. with drill-downs, a geospatial map, and year-over-year comparison tables for fast, strategic decision-making.
A wearable ergonomic system that detects unsafe lifting in real time. Six micro:bit accelerometer modules sewn into a jacket and trousers stream acceleration data over radio; a Python application filters and interpolates the signals, computes four body angles (back, back-arch, knee, arm), and classifies posture into risk zones - driving live GUI feedback and a buzzer warning on high-risk movements.

A backup end-of-line tester that keeps a high-volume seat line running when the main EOL system goes down. Built around a Siemens S7-1200 PLC, it verifies the two safety-critical seat parameters: seat-belt continuity and the occupancy-detection sensor (ODS): so production can keep tracing and validating seats at minimal cost and near-zero downtime.

An error-proofing system that makes a missed or loose bolt impossible at a critical station. An Atlas Copco torque tool on a position-sensing spatial arm only enables when it reaches the designated bolt; each rundown is verified against torque and angle limits and logged to the MES as permanent per-fastener history. Operators can't skip a bolt, and every "Good" result is traceable - driving defects at the station toward zero.
