New Battery World 2025

SCHUNK showcases flexible automation solutions for battery cell handling Die New Battery World in Munich is one of the most important network events for electromobility. SCHUNK was on-site, to strengthen collaboration and exchange on this future-oriented drive technology while presenting flexible automation solutions.
Panel „Innovations in Cell-to-Pack and Cell-to-Body“ In the panel discussion ”Innovations in Cell-to-Pack and Cell-to-Body,“ Mathias Stach (Drees & Sommer SE), Lukas Buske (Plasmatreat GmbH), Marc Schweizer (fischer group), Jan Ewe (Murrelektronik GmbH) and Stefan Engelhardt (SCHUNK SE & Co. KG) discussed about current trends and developments.

The mobility transition is in full swing. One of the greatest challenges is the production and recycling of battery cells. To drive the future for electromobility and the development of the battery industry in Europe responsibly forward, the New Battery World gathered over 600 participants and more than 80 partners on February 27 – 28, 2025 at Motorworld Munich. The conference provided in-depth insights into innovations and trends in battery technology, production, and charging infrastructure. High-level keynotes, panels and networking opportunities facilitated exchange with leading industry experts. A special highlight was the tour of BMW Group’s prototype production.

SCHUNK RCG SCHUNK develops tailored solutions for handling the cells during battery back assembly and for the final integration of storage cells into the vehicle.

From the cell to the fully assembled battery pack

“The development of future-proof battery systems is advancing rapidly. This makes it all the more important to work together on solutions that can adapt flexibly and quickly to new development steps,” says Stefan Engelhardt, Vice President Global Key Account Management & Business Development at SCHUNK. In the panel discussion „Innovations in Cell-to-Pack and Cell-to-Body,“ he joined Jan Ewe (Murrelektronik GmbH), Lukas Buske (Plasmatreat GmbH), Marc Schweizer (fischer group), and Mathias Stach (Drees & Sommer SE) to discuss current trends and the growing importance of sustainable processes for long-term success. “By increasing the level of automation and leveraging artificial intelligence, our customers can use energy and resources more efficiently,“ Engelhardt summarizes. SCHUNK develops tailored solutions for this purpose: from handling cells during battery pack assembly to final integration of storage cells into the vehicle.

Simultaneouss engineering

SCHUNK demonstrates how process steps can be accelerated right from the planning and commissioning phases using the example of fully automated cylindrical cell handling and its digital twin. This solution developed in partnership with ISG, enables efficient real-time system simulation and the direct derivation of models for the NVIDIA Omniverse. SCHUNK already offers component libraries and complete assemblies for creating virtual industrial environments.
