KIMODPEM – AI-based modular mapping of the PEMFC-MEA manufacturing process for quality control of intermediate and end products

This project focuses on AI-based modelling of the relationships between components, process parameters and structural features (process-structure-activity relationships) in the manufacturing process of membrane electrode assemblies (MEAs) for PEM fuel cells (PEMFCs). These models are to be used for product development and process control.
