EV Battery: Second Life & Recycling
Automated EV Battery Disassembly
Fantastic video from the guys at Titanium media EV battery recycling process at GEM. It highlights the challenges and solutions in disassembling, sorting, and extracting battery metals of end of life EV batteries.
Smart disassembly Solutions: GEM developed a system utilizing AI and machine vision to automate the disassembly process.
Data-Driven Approach: The system is trained on a vast dataset of battery packs, modules, and screws, enabling it to adapt to various battery specifications.
Smart Capacity Sorting: GEM’s device can sort battery cells five times faster than traditional methods by utilizing a capacity prediction system. This system enhances efficiency and accuracy in determining the remaining capacity of battery cells for reuse.
Metal Refining: GEM’s crushes and processes scrapped batteries to extract valuable metals like lithium, nickel, and cobalt.
Overall Impact: This process significantly reduces the need for mining raw ore, contributing to resource conservation and environmental protection. GEM’s advanced technologies and processes have increased the efficiency and scale of EV battery recycling. By 2030, recycled metals from power batteries have the potential to meet a significant portion of the industry’s demand.
