The momentum of the battery sector brings with it an increase in the number of batteries removed from use, either due to end-of-life or failure. This project tries to provide technological solutions to the problem detected in the industry of the increase of batteries treated as waste when they still offer capacities for their use, the low profitability of recycling due to the current work volumes, and the need for specialization and automation of the industry in this field.

In the EÓN project, the reconditioning of batteries is proposed as an option to extend the useful life for which they were initially designed and to seek their sustainability. To this end, one of the necessary steps for reconditioning is the diagnosis of the battery. Knowing their condition allows to establish the repair or replacement strategy of their components. For this reason, EON establishes the necessary disassembly system, considering the risks involved in handling the batteries and their possible failure modes. 

The application of scientific knowledge to industry, preventing the future problem of waste derived from electric mobility, promotes the increase of business competitiveness through the differentiation of innovative products and services. The sectors that can benefit from this project range from the manufacture of batteries and products that include batteries, to those dedicated to the revaluation of batteries. Similarly, companies associated with the battery sector, such as those involved in process automation, battery handling and repair or reconditioning, will benefit from the knowledge generated in the EÓN project.
