Compliant and fully AUToMATed circular solutions for multiple battery and battery embedded device enhanced by digital solutions

The increasing need to find alternative energy sources, combined with the general urgency to decarbonise the way we produce, store and consume in order to meet the EU's climate and sustainability targets, is stimulating a massive and rapid use of critical raw materials, which are fundamental to the production of electrical and electronic equipment and batteries, pillars of the green and digital transition that the EU is called upon to achieve. The challenges are increasingly important given the rapidly changing geopolitical environment. AutoMat is responding to these cross-cutting and urgent challenges through the timely introduction of disruptive, holistic, circular and sustainable target-driven concepts and solutions, driven by the implementation of the following key aspects: i) High value-added recycling technologies, mainly focused on preparing batteries and EEE components (battery packs, modules, cells, parts and materials) for re-use, through the most advanced collaborative-adaptive and flexible disassembly, sorting and material recovery technologies and integrated solutions, in order to drastically reduce the amount of non-reusable parts and materials, and to return to the market with new products (including chemicals) able to meet the needs of the market ii) Transversal digitisation of solutions towards a multi-level and continuous digital data exchange and elaboration able to support new strategies of advanced and compliant separate collection to increase the quality and availability of target streams, support in real time the efficiency of recycling-reuse processes through the homogenisation of external inputs, provide always personalised and predictive information on the most appropriate operations to be applied, aiming at a massive reduction of risks and waste during handling, collection and recycling operations, provide digital passports to second life applications, to strengthen the efficiency of the outputs coming from the AutoMat global value chain. The project will allow to increase GUT's knowledge and experience in the field of research on vehicle batteries, their diagnostics and the possibilities of their reuse. This will enable the development of GUT scientific research in the area of batteries for electric vehicles.
