Case Study: a startup lithium battery manufacturer improves battery quality with Expleo's big data analysis

How we used big data to start the smart factory process for a gigafactory

A leading European battery manufacturer faced the challenge of competing with lower-cost Asian producers. Their competitive advantage relied on using data smarter to improve their manufacturing process. Expleo was engaged to conduct an agnostic data analysis of the client's operations.

Expleo's solution involved analyzing the manufacturing data without preconceptions, which revealed surprising insights into performance and process. This analysis led to recommendations that were first deployed in a pilot plant and then scaled to the full factory. The results for the client included drastically improved battery quality, a lower time-to-market, and reduced scrap rates and costs. Furthermore, Expleo's process provided the crucial first step in the client's transition to becoming a data-led smart factory.
