The challenge in defect detection in battery electrode manufacturing is that there are relatively few training examples with that one needs to teach the model a specific shape and the high speed of the electrodes rendering any human in the loop inefficient.
The electrode manufacturing process considered herein includes four production steps, which are shown in Figure 1. As the initial steps of the battery cell production, these have far-reaching effects on the battery performance and its lifetime [ 3, 4] and are thus dominant in quality determination.
This framework includes six main processes and steps, namely: Business Understanding, Data Understanding, Data Preparation, Modeling, Evaluation, and Deployment. This standard process provides a reference for the subsequent application of machine learning and artificial intelligence algorithms in battery manufacturing [, , , ].
