Dear REBELION community,

We are pleased to invite you to our upcoming webinar, Automated vs Manual: How Robotics Are Transforming Battery Inspection, taking place on 18 March at 16:00 CET.

As battery inspection and disassembly become critical bottlenecks in the circular battery value chain, this session will explore how AI and robotics can enable safer, faster and more scalable solutions for industry.

In this webinar, REBELION and RECIRCULATE, together with the Circular Battery Cluster, will explore how automated inspection and disassembly compare with manual approaches, what technologies are already being deployed in industry, and what challenges still need to be addressed.

Participants will gain insights into:

• Manual vs automated battery inspection: current practices and key limitations
• AI and robotics for battery disassembly: from pack to cell level
• Machine learning for component identification and wiring detection
• Automated inspection for decision-making: enabling condition assessment and reuse or recycling strategies
• Operating without QR codes or Digital Product Passports

The discussion will also address critical challenges such as data availability, standardisation and the diversity of battery designs, offering a forward-looking view of how inspection and disassembly systems can evolve together.
