The emerging UK Battery Factories will need to compete for productivity with Global EV GigaFactories and to compete there is a key consideration for increasing the yield and getting to steady state quickly. The UK Battery Industrialisation Centre with Waygate Technologies and PXL-ICE believe that a digital twin of UKBIC linked to the physical manufacturing production lines at key process areas will improve these two factors and address the following issues:Current yields in EV Battery factories are typically as low as 75% initially, and with the use of a digital twin powered by data from Quality Gates using inspection technologies such as X-Ray CT, and Visual Cameras we believe this can be optimised and increased using a 'control tower' to manage and fuse data between quality gates.The establishment of the feasibility of this digital-twin and an IT/IS architecture is the deliverable of this project, and it is scoped with the intention to conduct the feasibility study over a 6 month period and, having established that the proposed solution does work, but outside the scope of this project, to build and implement this solution within a 12 month timescale. This project will align very well with the recent (July 2022) announcement of the partnership between UKBIC and Waygate Technologies.The fundamental deliverables of the project are to demonstrate that establishing a digital twin of UKBIC linked to key parameters in the battery manufacturing process will deliver the predicted improvement of higher yield and lower cost and the facilitation of a decision to move forward with the implementation of this solution in UKBIC which will be to the benefit of UKBIC's clients and wider industry as UKBIC fulfils its remit to provide the learning environment for the burgeoning UK battery manufacturing industry. It will also demonstrate the effectiveness of CT scanning as an advanced analytical tool to identify, analyse and resolve quality defects much faster and more accurately than traditional inspection methods.

新兴的英国电池工厂将需要与全球电动汽车超级工厂竞争生产力，而竞争的一个关键考虑因素是提高产量和快速达到稳定状态。英国电池工业化中心与 Waygate Technologies 和 PXL-ICE 相信，UKBIC 的数字孪生与关键流程领域的实体制造生产线相连接将改善这两个因素并解决以下问题：电动汽车电池工厂的当前产量通常为最初低至 75%，并且通过使用由质量门数据提供支持的数字孪生，使用 X 射线 CT 和视觉相机等检查技术，我们相信可以使用“控制塔”来优化和增加这一点来管理和融合质量之间的数据该数字孪生和 IT/IS 架构的可行性的建立是该项目的可交付成果，其范围是在 6 个月的时间内进行可行性研究，并确定拟议的解决方案确实有效，但超出了该项目的范围，可以在 12 个月的时间内构建和实施该解决方案。该项目将与最近（2022 年 7 月）UKBIC 和 Waygate Technologies 之间宣布的合作伙伴关系非常吻合。该项目的基本可交付成果是证明，建立与电池制造过程中的关键参数相关的 UKBIC 数字孪生将实现预计产量会提高，成本会降低，并有助于做出在 UKBIC 实施该解决方案的决定，随着 UKBIC 履行其承诺，这将有利于 UKBIC 的客户和更广泛的行业。致力于为蓬勃发展的英国电池制造业提供学习环境。它还将展示 CT 扫描作为先进分析工具的有效性，比传统检查方法更快、更准确地识别、分析和解决质量缺陷。
