Imagine trying to recycle thousands of different-sized batteries that could catch fire if handled wrong. This project creates a smart 'digital passport' for every battery and uses robots to take them apart safely. It even uses sound waves to check if a battery is healthy enough to be reused in a home energy system instead of being scrapped.
Current battery return processes are dangerous, manual, and inefficient. Companies struggle to quickly determine if a used EV battery should be recycled or reused, leading to lost value and safety risks during transport.
A functional prototype of a Battery Data Space platform and a validated safe transport prototype. They also developed acoustic testing tools for battery health assessment and automated dismantling systems.
If you are a collection service dealing with the risk of battery fires during transit — this project developed safety packaging with a monitoring system that reduces severe risk events to 1/10,000. This ensures safer transport and lower insurance risks.
If you are an integrator dealing with slow and inaccurate battery health checks — this project developed acoustic testing and machine learning for faster Remaining Useful Life assessment. This helps raise the share of repurposed batteries to 10%.
If you are a recycler dealing with expensive manual labor for dismantling — this project developed automated dismantling and sorting via human-robot collaboration. This is designed to increase recycling efficiency by 5%.
Based on available project data, specific pricing for the tools is not provided, but the project aims to capture an extra €30.24 million/year in value from end-of-life batteries by 2029.
Yes, the project is developing an automated system specifically for laboratory and industrial environments and will demonstrate results in two operational use-cases for recycling and repurposing.
Based on available project data, specific licensing terms are not listed, but the project involves 14 partners including 9 industry players and 3 SMEs.
The project specifically analyzes and aligns with regulation (EU) 2023/1542 on batteries and waste batteries, including the implementation of a Digital Battery Passport.
The project runs from May 2023 to October 2026, with target impact numbers projected for 2029.
The consortium is heavily industry-driven, with 64% of the 14 partners coming from the private sector (9 industry partners, including 3 SMEs). This strong industrial presence, spanning 6 countries (CZ, DE, EL, ES, FR, PL), suggests the project is focused on commercial viability and practical application rather than purely academic research.
