Battery production
Production of traction batteries for electric cars
VIBN of various technologies
Battery production includes various specialised technologies from electrode production to cell assembly and module assembly and is certainly one of the current key technologies in automotive engineering. With the WinMOD-SIMLINE system, processes such as stacking, winding, cell housing joining, laser welding, electrolyte dosing or cell assembly can be virtually put into operation. The special feature is that you can use one and the same VIBN system for this. With WinMOD, you can easily create and test thermal management processes (heating, cooling, drying) and component assembly in one simulation.
You can link and test the individual workstations with their separate controllers together with the higher-level system controller in WinMOD at the same time. Of course, this also applies to robots that are used, for example, to assemble cells into complete packs. The robot behaviour is integrated here by coupling the manufacturer-specific simulation software to WinMOD - keyword CoSimulation.
Transport systems and CAD integration
The transport systems used in battery production range from classic roller conveyors to electric overhead and floor conveyors (EHB, EBB) and driverless transport systems (AGV, AGV). WinMOD-SIMLINE provides you with extensive 3D technology libraries for all these systems. For more information, simply go directly to the relevant WinMOD technology page.
You use the 3D CAD data of your components for virtual commissioning. After direct import, these can then be transported, accumulated, stacked, assembled and packaged in the 3D simulation in real time. You can use these virtual cells, housings and modules to produce virtual traction batteries with WinMOD and test your automation system in the process.
