Guided Tour
Experience the Future of Battery Cell Production – PEM pilot facilities at RWTH Aachen University
On 21 November 2025, step into the heart of innovation during the exclusive guided tour of the PEM pilot-scale battery production facilities at RWTH Aachen University — a special highlight of the Surface Inspection Summit.
Join leading researchers and industry experts to explore how next-generation production technologies and advanced quality management are shaping the battery cell of the future. This unique tour grants you direct access to PEM’s state-of-the-art pilot line, offering a complete view of the cell manufacturing process — from slurry preparation and coating to electrode drying, cutting, stacking, cell assembly, electrolyte filling, and formation.
Throughout the tour, you’ll gain valuable insights into critical quality checkpoints along the production chain and discover how cutting-edge surface inspection and process monitoring secure the precision and reliability of every single cell. Experience live how digital analysis, automated testing systems, and micrometer-level measurement technologies drive efficiency and consistency in modern battery production.
Beyond the manufacturing floor, PEM’s experts will provide a brief look into current research on cell design, material reprocessing, and recycling strategies — all part of the institute’s integrated approach to sustainable, high-performance battery production.
This guided tour is not only an inspiring technical experience but also a rare opportunity to connect cutting-edge research with practical industrial application — exclusive to registered participants of the Surface Inspection Summit.
Participation is free of charge but places are limited. Reserve your Summit ticket early to secure your spot.
