Solutions for EV Battery Manufacturing Industry

EV battery manufacturing is rapidly expanding, making traceability critical for product quality and end-of-life recycling. Cajo’s flexible laser marking solutions enable high-speed, permanent coding on battery foils, ensuring full compliance and sustainability throughout the entire product lifecycle.

Traceability important factor in lithium-ion battery markets

In the past few years, the development and production of electric vehicles (EVs) has expanded remarkably. Almost every week we can read from the news that new “gigafactories” are built or are planned to build in the near future.

EVs are commonly using rechargeable lithium-ion batteries as a clean power source. After serving as the power source for EVs, battery recycling will become a major challenge in the future. Therefore product identification and traceability need to be carefully considered from the early stages of production.
Readable and permanent markings enable product traceability internally and externally. This ensures traceability throughout the supply chain and the whole product life cycle reducing material waste.
Cajo’s flexible marking solutions enable the smooth installation of laser marking systems on both new battery production lines under construction and pre-existing EV lines. Any necessary retrofitting is completed accurately and efficiently by our skilled technical experts according to the customer’s needs.
