With specific reference to the use of collaborative robotics and vision systems as key enablers of safe and efficient automated battery disassembly and reassembly, Tebaldi will explore adopting robotics to make the re-manufacturing of resource demanding batteries both economically and technically feasible. More specifically, he will touch upon issues such as the need for high repeatability and quality of the repurposed battery, the reduction of the product cost for use in less demanding applications, better safety for operators and compliance with the circularity principals.
Comau’s participation in the event is aligned with the company’s involvement in a collaborative effort to develop a national supply chain for end-of-life management of lithium batteries. To this end, Comau, together with other electrification companies, research organizations, universities and institutions, aims to identify technologically viable solutions for the repurposing of automotive batteries as part of a sustainable and circular value chain.
