Solid-state batteries (SSB) are gaining significant attention due to their long range, fast charging capabilities, high stability, and potential for lower costs. 🔋   Our Porsche Consulting battery experts participated in the CAR Battery Days event, organized by CAR Center Automotive Research and co-hosted by BASF, where they shared their insights on the future of battery technology during an engaging two-day event. The advantages of SSBs are attracting interest from automotive OEMs and various other industries. What opportunities and challenges do they bring for car manufacturers, cell makers, and the supply chain?   ➡️ Technology Potential: Solid-state batteries offer a promising solution for achieving high performance and stability.   ➡️ Industrialization Challenge: Before large-scale deployment, key industrialization challenges must be addressed to ensure performance and cost competitiveness. Approximately 60% of current cell production processes need to be adapted or replaced to meet new production requirements.   ➡️ Raw Materials Impact: Leading SSB technologies typically require significantly higher lithium content compared with today’s lithium-ion batteries (up to 70% more per kWh). This increases exposure to raw material price volatility and the risk of lithium shortages, emphasizing the importance of strategic raw material management for SSB players.   #SolidStateBatteries #Battery #Electrification #SustainableMobility #FutureOfMobility #BatteryInnovation

Smart Factory in a can. How Ardagh Metal Packaging is making global production more flexible. With 23 factories across three regions, Ardagh Metal Packaging embarked on a journey to transform its production facilities into the “plant of the future.” This transformation aims to produce cans with high variance and maximum efficiency. 📋 Challenge Ardagh Metal Packaging faced the challenge of balancing customization with mass production. To meet future customer demands efficiently, the company is bringing its production processes and technologies to the next level. The initial conditions at the various locations varied significantly, making a one-size-fits-all solution impractical. 🛠️ Implementation In collaboration with Porsche Consulting, Ardagh Metal Packaging developed a flexible action plan tailored to the regions of North America, South America, and Europe. This plan considered the different cultures and development stages of each factory. The approach involved identifying potential improvements and prioritizing use cases specific to each region. 🏆 Result The transformation led to diverse solutions, from automated guided vehicles to real-time data provision, tailored to the unique needs of each factory. This customization ensured that each site could progress towards becoming a “plant of the future” in its own way.

Many companies recognize the potential of AI, yet successful implementation often proves challenging due to unclear strategies and a lack of expertise.   To fully leverage AI, organizations must identify the best opportunities, partner with the right collaborators for swift and effective execution, and empower employees to scale AI initiatives across the business. "When integrated effectively, AI accelerates competitive advantages and drives growth," says Fabian Schmidt, Associate Partner & AI Expert at Porsche Consulting. Proven use cases demonstrate the impact of AI within organizations:   ➡ Process Efficiency To enhance punctuality at major airports, we developed a holistic causal network comprising over 100 variables to model the complex turnaround process. This identifies key drivers of outbound delays, providing insights to ensure timely departures.   ➡ Customer Satisfaction An AI-powered text classification model has been implemented to automatically route customer complaints, significantly reducing manual effort and response times. This leads to faster service and improved customer satisfaction during high-volume incidents.   ➡ Cost Reduction In a busy port region, a logistics provider optimized operations using a digital twin that processes live data on truck traffic and container movements. This tool enables cost reduction and revenue growth by comparing complex scenarios, improving proactive planning, identifying data gaps, and quickly recovering lost equipment.   ➡ Forecasting Investment planning for new products at a major industrial company has shifted from a bottom-up to a top-down approach using a robust forecasting tool, enhancing forecast precision by over 40% and significantly reducing decision-making time.   Discover how Porsche Consulting implements, validates, and optimizes AI and successfully transfers our expertise to other clients: https://lnkd.in/ePvg2ZRH   #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #DigitalTransformation #BusinessGrowth #Consulting
