Start of the project Reallabor Antrieb 4.0 – Department etit doubly involved
The German Federal Ministry of Economics and Climate Protection (BMWK) has approved funding for the research project Reallabor Antrieb 4.0 as part of the KoPa 35c funding program. During the project, cross-manufacturer use cases for digitization and along the value chains, for example the possible “plug & play” commissioning of drives or their optimization with regard to various applications, will be tested. To date, the lack of data availability and the absence of open standards and concepts for interoperability, among other things, have prevented market-ready innovations. For this reason, the Reallabor Antrieb 4.0 is researching the fundamentals for the development of required standards in the field of Industrie 4.0 and is developing new business model approaches based on digitized value chains. This addresses central topics of the Industrie 4.0 Platform's Guiding Principles 2030, in particular the economic and ecological aspects of industrial sustainability.

International team recycles e-car batteries
2023/01/12
Recycling lithium batteries – and still ‘reLiable’
Electric car batteries last around eight to ten years – after which their charging capacity drops to below 80 per cent, which is too low for electric car operation. The remaining high capacity is utilised by a young team of founders as an electricity storage system, for example for photovoltaic systems. They have developed an intelligent battery management system that extends the life of the battery by a further eight to ten years. reLi, the name of their start-up, says it all: recycling lithium batteries – and making them ‘reLiable’.
