It is one of the most important innovations of the 21st century: the lithium-ion battery. This new technology is the basis for e-mobility and digitalisation and enables the transition to renewable energies. Without the lithium-ion battery, technological innovations would be hardly conceivable. From smartphones to electric cars, the lithium-ion battery can be found in almost all battery-powered devices. This technology is already well established and in demand in a very specific place: warehouses. Because in intralogistics, e-mobility is already the order of the day. For more than a decade, lithium-ion forklifts have been in use behind warehouse doors around the world. The Hamburg-based company Jungheinrich is a pioneer and forerunner of this technology. However, pioneering work also brings challenges. Artificial intelligence, sustainability, resource availability, recycling – these are all topics that need to be addressed in intralogistics. From the extraction of lithium from thermal water to the production of state-of-the-art cells and its use in vehicles; from large-scale storage controlled by artificial intelligence to recycling - this documentary shows the latest state of a promising technology that is developing rapidly. #dwdocumentary #documentary #lithium #technology #digitalization ـــــ DW Documentary brings you information beyond the headlines.
