The Advantages of Computed tomography in Lithium Ion Battery Cell Inspection - A Discussion with Baker Hughes
Show Notes

We live in a world dependent on Lithium Ion batteries for the operation of products ranging from mobile phones, laptops, and electric vehicles. The quality of these batteries is essential for the functional reliability of these products, so it is critical that these batteries face the most vigorous inspection process possible.  Computed tomography is a leading technology to do Lithium Ion battery inspection.  In this podcast, ARC Vice President Craig Resnick interviews two leaders from Waygate Technologies, a Baker Hughes business: Oliver Brunke, Product Management Team Leader and Udo de Vries, Growth and Strategy Leader, to discuss for example, what are the advantages of computed tomography in Lithium Ion battery cell inspection; in which phases of the product lifecycle can computed tomography be applied for batteries, which types of batteries and battery systems can be inspected, at which customer locations can CT be applied for batteries, and what kind of failures can computed tomography detect for Lithium Ion batteries.
