Setting up a Gigafactory at speed

The era of the gigafactory is coming. Battery production is expected to reach 3.5 TWh by 2030, six times more than in 2022, with hundreds of gigafactories expected to come online. This implies an industrial ramp-up at a pace never seen before. But building gigafactories is new and complicated. They are fundamentally different from traditional automotive component manufacturing, as they mix both process and discrete manufacturing.

In this point of view, you will explore:

• How to tackle the main challenges faced by potential gigafactory operators, like accelerating scale-up time, sustaining the supply chain and ensuring traceability
• How to maximise the benefits of the digital core, an IT/OT architecture which
  is interoperable, scalable, and adaptable by design
• How to build and empower a skilled gigafactory workforce… rapidly, through recruitment, training and developing an effective Battery Academy
• And ultimately, how to build the gigafactory of the future
