25 Automated Sorting of Battery Cells Based on Performance Criteria
Sorting battery cells based on performance data can be time-consuming and prone to human error. This project addresses that challenge by working with Wisk Aero to develop an automated sorting system. The system uses vision-based scanning to read identifiers and evaluate cell data, then directs sorting through a programmable logic controller and robotic system. A…
