Rockwell Automation, Inc., the world’s largest company dedicated to industrial automation and digital transformation, in collaboration with its partner Circulor, a leading supply chain traceability provider, announced that it has been selected by Acculon Energy, a U.S.-based manufacturer of advanced battery systems, to deliver next-generation battery energy storage solutions. As demand for energy storage grows to support the shift to clean, reliable power, the pressure is rising for manufacturers to provide greater transparency and accountability in their supply chains. By 2030, the global demand for lithium-ion batteries is expected to increase more than five times, according to the International Energy Agency. This rapid growth has made it critical for battery manufacturers to trace critical minerals and reduce environmental impact, especially as new regulations, including the European Union Battery Regulation and its digital battery passport requirements, begin to take effect. In response, Acculon will integrate Circulor’s proven traceability solution and Rockwell’s digital transformation expertise to track

Siemens and Hirano Tecseed, a Japanese machine builder, are partnering to transform battery manufacturing processes. The collaboration focuses on the standardization and digitalization of battery coating machines to optimize coating processes, reduce waste and enhance product quality and operator performance. The battery market is rapidly expanding due to the global shift toward sustainable energy, and especially with the growing importance of electric vehicles and utility-scale energy storage. Hirano and other machine builders are looking to increase battery production and reduce their costs while maintaining high levels of quality and safety. A crucial production step involves coating foil strips with multiple active layers to form the battery electrodes. Any defects in this process can negatively affect the performance and durability of the finished battery. Close monitoring and control of speed and tension during the coating process are essential. A key component of the collaboration has been the development of a digital twin for
