Progress in Motion

Generating energy sustainably is one of the great challenges of our time – and green hydrogen is part of the solution. Hydrogen will play a key role in the future energy landscape and in the decarbonization of energy-intensive industries. Many safety requirements must be taken into account when setting up production and infrastructure.

With us, you can automate your applications along the entire hydrogen value chain efficiently, safely and in a scalable manner – whether centralized or decentralized automation solutions, space-saving control cabinets or modular concepts.

Nowadays, the vast majority of batteries in electric cars are lithium-ion batteries. If they are not disposed of properly, they are dangerous for people, and damage the environment. This is why the recycling of batteries is becoming mandatory in many states and countries. The hydrometallurgical recycling process involves a chemical precipitation method using acid. This recovers rare minerals from the black mass as metal salt, which is then supplied to battery manufacturers and reused for the production of new batteries. The aim is to make efficient use of limited and expensive raw materials for electromobility.

We are working intensively on the realization of innovative automation processes. The hydrometallurgical recycling process, for example, is a chemical precipitation method using acid. Rare minerals are extracted from the black mass as metal salt. These minerals are supplied to battery manufacturers, who reuse them for the production of new batteries.
