SIEMENS and KYBURZ are in close contact. A delegation from the battery recycling team worked together with SIEMENS employees in a workshop on various automation topics. SIEMENS has founded the "Battery-Xcelerator" department in response to the increasing importance of battery recycling.

In addition to the Erlangen site, Yunus Ruff and Dr Frieder Herb also visited the headquarters of SIEMENS Digital Industries in Nuremberg, where they were given a hands-on course on how to use the latest software for programming industrial machines.

The fact that there was a white eRod in the course room is evidence of another great collaboration: SIEMENS uses the eRod to develop innovative projects: Through generative design and topology optimisation with the SIEMENS design software "NX" and by using additive manufacturing strategies (3D printing), the weight of the steering knuckles of the eRod could be reduced by 30%.

KYBURZ would like to thank all those involved from SIEMENS for the great workshop and hospitality and is very much looking forward to further collaboration.
