In the consumer sector, the decision for the right battery is made quickly. There are standard batteries which fit in consumer applications. However, in the industrial or medical technology sector<\/a>, the situation is different. For these applications, “off-the-shelf” batteries are often not suitable. There are special requirements concerning safety or space. The solution: individually developed batteries. <\/p>\n\n\n

In the industrial or MedTech sector batteries are often individually developed, as they must meet special requirements.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

It is often a long way from the idea to the final battery<\/a>. Many decisions must be made based on the requirements of the battery. The duration of a development project always varies and cannot be generalized. On average, more time is needed for projects in the medical sector<\/a> than in the industry. Among other things, the reasons are extremely high safety requirements and long medical trials. No wonder! After all, the devices are used directly on humans and must therefore be absolutely safe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Complex battery development projects are supported by our project team. We spoke with project manager Viktor Sichwardt about the first steps and got some exciting insights: <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The first steps <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A project starts with the customer’s inquiry. Our project management team already receives the first information about the battery requirements. Important at this point: contact us as soon as possible! “For us, it is really important to be part of the development process as early as possible. If the product is already developed, it can be difficult to produce a suitable battery,” emphasizes Viktor Sichwardt. One possible problem is that the required battery does not fit into the planned space. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether and how much information is available at the beginning\nalways varies: “We have customers who come to us with very precise ideas\nand requirements and also already know which certifications are needed. Others\nare still at the stage of the first product idea and trust our expertise in the\ndevelopment process” tells the project manager. “In the second case,\nwe are happy to take our customer on the development journey and explain our\nrecommendations.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Identifying the\nindividual requirements<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The exchange between the customer and our project\nmanagement is important during the entire development process. A comprehensive\ninformation base helps to make the right decisions, such as choosing the right\ncell. Various factors play a role here, including the choice of cell chemistry,\ncell size or delivery times. As you can see: especially in the initial phase,\nour customers have to ask themselves many questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Why we at Jauch ask so many questions? We want to understand the product, how it works and how it will be used. Only then we can offer THE perfect solution.” <\/p>\n Viktor Sichwardt, Project Manager at Jauch Quartz <\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
