The battery is at the heart of future mobility – it enables emission-free mobility, but it also brings its own challenges. This is because the resources for building lithium-ion batteries are limited – at the same time, they are predestined for innovative approaches to the circular economy. For this reason, topics such as recycling, or second-life management of batteries are increasingly coming into focus. In this presentation, we will show which technical and economic aspects need to be taken into account. You will also learn how digital twins can be used to monitor and optimize a battery – including static and dynamic data over the entire life cycle as well as permanent monitoring of the state of health and new predictive maintenance options. Update your expertise on electromobility. Mobility Services Stage M | 03:10 - 03:30 pm | Impulse Session

In the food and medical sectors, seamless monitoring of cold chains is essential – along the entire value chain. Companies are increasingly being supported in this challenging task by innovative cloud services. Particularly when dealing with time- and temperature-critical products, they open up the possibility of building Logistics 4.0 – the seamlessly networked logistics chain. This session takes you to Eberspächer, a leading provider of climate control systems. Together with MHP, it has implemented a cloud solution to monitor important measured variables of a company fleet and to be able to respond proactively to incidents. MHP provides the appropriate cloud architecture for this. Learn from this example how innovative cloud services can keep a cool head.

Production-as-a-service models enable manufacturing companies to make the processes and financing of their production facilities much more flexible and scalable. V-Frames is a good example of this. The innovative company uses a pioneering carbon injection molding method to produce extremely stable and 100 percent recyclable e-bike frames. For agile production, V Frames works with FlexFactory – a joint venture between MHP, Porsche and MunichRe. Its variable and world-leading feeding systems help V Frames to further optimize its smart factory with intelligent automation. This Impulse Lecture will present how MHP, in close cooperation with FlexFactory, supports VFrames in finding the appropriate and scalable digitalization.
