In Britain, they found a way to bypass China: they will make more batteries and save millions

The new technology is designed to provide multi-million cost savings on the development of rechargeable batteries, as well as to halve the time it takes to bring them to the market.

British startup Ionetic has introduced a new development system with software acceleration and AI support called Arc. According to Renewable Energy Magazine.

Arc automates the design and integrates pre-tested components into a fully end-to-end battery development system that enables the rapid delivery of cost-effective, performance-optimized battery solutions with lower risk.

The development of batteries is one of the most time-consuming and expensive tasks when bringing an electric car to the market on time and at an affordable price. OEMs who need between 100 and 10,000 batteries per year are usually faced with a difficult choice: between expensive and labor-intensive, largely custom batteries or low-performance off-the-shelf solutions — neither option is a compelling way for OEMs to launch electrified vehicles.

Ionetic takes an end-to-end AI-enabled approach that simplifies all processes and reduces costs. The Arc system enables the company to supply OEMs with off-the-shelf solutions, reducing time, cost and eliminating problems during development. Arc rapidly optimizes, conceptualizes, and brings battery design to life with AI.

From a hardware perspective, Arc is built on a pre-defined design framework that contains a number of pre-tested systems and components, while supporting many different formats cells This reduces both program risk and inspection time while remaining highly flexible.

In terms of manufacturing, instead of large initial investments and individual production lines, Arc uses an innovative, flexible manufacturing system.

This is more like the approach used by semiconductor manufacturers and allows Ionetic's manufacturing facility to serve many different customers without the time and money normally required to set up a new line.
