Siemens, LG team on digital twin of battery factories
Siemens has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with LG Energy Solution (LGES) for battery manufacturing, particularly the digitization of production process and the use of digital twins.
The deal, was signed by Cedrik Neike, Member of the Managing Board of Siemens AG and CEO Digital Industries and Young Soo Kwon, CEO of LG Energy Solution and at LGES’s headquarters in Seoul, will see Siemens digital technology used at LGES production facilities worldwide.
The first will be at Ultium Cells in Tennessee, US, a joint venture with General Motors that will start production in 2023 for electric vehicle batteries. The digitalisation will allow LGES to cut the carbon footprint of its entire supply chain management.
