Sention Technologies Limited

Time to rethink battery manufacturing What the industry needs now isn’t just scale - it’s intelligence. Intelligence that sees defects before they become failures. That accelerates ramp-up. That builds better batteries from day one. Where do we make impact? End-of-Line Testing Traditional End-of-Line (EOL) testing is limited. Visual inspections and electrochemical tests can miss latent defects—issues that may only activate during the cell’s life, posing reliability risks. Sention Technologies Limited's non-destructive acoustic technology provides a deeper view into every cell, identifying structural defects that other tests miss. It also supports enhanced grading accuracy and longevity predictions, improving overall product quality. #QualityControl #TestingInnovation #BatteryManufacturing #ImpactThroughIntelligence www.sention.io

With bigger scale comes bigger risk A 40 GWh factory can lose up to €10M annually per percentage point of scrap. During early production, yields can be as low as 15%, resulting in €1.1M of lost profit per day due to delayed production. Where do we make impact? Formation & Ageing Costs Formation and ageing are the most costly stages, making up around 1/3 of total manufacturing costs, 30-40% of equipment costs, and consuming 30% of total manufacturing energy. Additionally, scrap rates are highest during these stages, which also pose significant fire hazards. Sention Technologies Limited's acoustic technology monitors formation as it happens, enabling manufacturers to tune protocols for optimal cell quality. By detecting early signs of thermal runaway, Sention’s approach enhances safety and minimizes costly waste. www.sention.io #CostEfficiency #ManufacturingInnovation #BatterySafety #ImpactThroughIntelligence

Gigafactories need smarter, more responsive manufacturing systems The global demand for Li-ion batteries is skyrocketing, projected to grow from ~1700 GWh today to ~5000 GWh by 2030—a 30% annual growth rate. To meet this surge, manufacturers are rushing to build larger, more efficient gigafactories. But even seasoned players face high scrap rates and slow production ramp-ups, resulting in huge profit losses. Where do we make impact? Accelerating Electrolyte Filling Electrolyte filling is a slow, critical step. The need to fully wet pores can lead to manufacturers waiting up to 24 hours, often far longer than necessary, simply due to a lack of effective monitoring methods. By using saturation analysis via acoustic techniques, Sention Technologies Limited can monitor filling progress accurately and in real-time. This can cut filling times by up to 50%, eliminating unnecessary hours of temperature-controlled storage per cell. #EfficiencyMatters #SmartManufacturing #BatteryTechnology #ImpactThroughIntelligence www.sention.io

Gigafactories are scaling fast - but so are the challenges. Manufacturing batteries is highly complex with many steps to the manufacturing process each bringing their own challenges and currently they are not measured adequately to minimise the production of defective batteries. This has resulted in huge recalls, damage to brand reputation, and threats to customer safety. Where do we make impact? The coating, drying, and calendering stages are critical but highly error-prone. Defects such as non-uniform coatings, cracks, pinholes, and curling are common, impacting overall quality. Additionally, drying alone consumes 40% of manufacturing energy and contributes to around 20% of the total cell manufacturing cost. By using non-contact defect detection, Sention Technologies Limited provides insights into electrode quality and identifies defects early. This leads to better-quality cells, reduced energy consumption, and lower overall costs. www.sention.io #EnergyEfficiency #Sustainability #ManufacturingInnovation #ImpactThroughIntelligence

The True Cost of Inefficiency Manufacturers are losing money due to inefficiencies. A 40 GWh factory can lose up to €10M annually per percentage point of scrap. During early production, yields can be as low as 15%, resulting in €1.1M of lost profit per day due to delayed production. Implementing a no-fault forward methodology, Sention Technologies Limited ensures issues are caught early, drastically reducing scrap rates and speeding up production. We provide actionable insights for continuous process improvement. From slurry mixing to end-of-line testing, our technology ensures no defect goes unnoticed. This proactive approach enables manufacturers to optimize processes, enhance quality, and reduce costly delays. Efficiency isn’t a luxury. It’s a necessity. #EfficiencyMatters #ManufacturingCosts #Gigafactories #ImpactThroughIntelligence www.sention.io

Let’s talk about Gigafactories. The global demand for Li-ion batteries is skyrocketing, projected to grow from ~1700 GWh today to ~5000 GWh by 2030—a 30% annual growth rate. To meet this surge, manufacturers are rushing to build larger, more efficient gigafactories. But even seasoned players face high scrap rates and slow production ramp-ups, resulting in huge profit losses. We’re here to change this - for the better. We'll be looking at the challenges and just where Sention Technologies Limited and our innovative technology can make real impact. #BatteryManufacturing #ProcessOptimization #BatteryTechnology #Manufacturing #Gigafactories #QualityControl #ImpactThroughIntelligence
