Técnicas da indústria 4.0 aplicadas na melhoria do processo de corte dos terminais das baterias de íon-lítio

Abstract

The transition to Industry 4.0 has brought significant advances in production processes, where the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies has transformed entire sectors, including the manufacturing of lithium-ion batteries. This work addresses the development of an intelligent system focused on improving the cutting of battery terminals, using AI algorithms to optimize precision and reduce defect rates. The central problem is the imprecision in cutting the terminals of lithium-ion batteries, leading to a high rate of defective or unusable products. This issue not only increases production costs due to material waste but also negatively impacts the overall efficiency of the manufacturing process. To achieve this goal, a methodology was used for the application of machine learning and real-time data analysis, which enabled automatic adjustments in the cutting process, promoting a flexible and adaptable manufacturing environment. The results obtained from the application of the system indicate a significant reduction in the rate of defective batteries, as well as an increase in the quality and uniformity of the produced terminals. This efficiency gain demonstrates the potential of AI to meet the requirements of quality and precision while simultaneously reducing production costs. The integration of AI technologies in the process of cutting lithium-ion battery terminals not only promotes improvements in quality and sustainability but can also generate a significant competitive advantage for the renewable energy and storage sector in flexible manufacturing processes.
