In order to guaranty a stable process, a safe and automated quality assurance is required. Such a procedure has been developed in cooperation with our partner, the &#8220;Gesellschaft zur F\u00f6rderung angewandter Informatik GFaI e.V.&#8221; during a project financed by the German ministry for economics.<\/p>\n<p>The application of different lightening and exposure techniques allows the detection of several important quality assurance parameters such as e.g. thickness, deflection or capillary cracks. On the one hand, these parameters are important for a proper functioning of a fuel cell and on the other hand they are essential for safety reasons. Thus the results of this project constitute another step towards the market launch of fuel cells. In the context of a new project in cooperation with different industry partners the quality assurance process is being optimized with regard to series production.<\/p>\n<p class=\"bodytext\">\n<h2>Further information:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><b><a class=\"external-link-new-window\" title=\"Opens external link in new window\" href=\"http:\/\/veu.de\/index.php?article_id=28&amp;clang=0&amp;show=detail&amp;id=314&amp;search=16072\">Project information (German)<\/a><\/b><\/li>\n<li>production technologies at ZBT<\/li>\n<li>injection moulded bipolar plates<\/li>\n<li>Division production technologies<\/li>\n<li><a class=\"external-link-new-window\" title=\"\u00d6ffnet externen Link in neuem Fenster\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gfai.de\/\">Partner: GFAI Berlin<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"latest-news latest-news--white\">\n            <h2 class=\"latest-news__heading\">More News<\/h2>\n                <div class=\"latest-news__grid\">\n                                            <div class=\"latest-news__item\">\n                    <a href=\"https:\/\/zbt.de\/en\/news\/fdfc-2026-improved-mn-based-catalysts-for-electrolysis\/\" class=\"news-card\" title=\"FDFC 2026 - Improved Mn-based catalysts for electrolysis\">\n    <div class=\"news-card__header\">\n        <figure class=\"news-card__figure\">\n            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"745\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/zbt.de\/app\/uploads\/2026\/05\/zbt-vimanshu-chanda-fdfc2026-montpelier-a-745x1024.jpg\" class=\"news-card__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"Mann h\u00e4lt Vortrag auf Konferenz\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zbt.de\/app\/uploads\/2026\/05\/zbt-vimanshu-chanda-fdfc2026-montpelier-a-745x1024.jpg 745w, https:\/\/zbt.de\/app\/uploads\/2026\/05\/zbt-vimanshu-chanda-fdfc2026-montpelier-a-218x300.jpg 218w, https:\/\/zbt.de\/app\/uploads\/2026\/05\/zbt-vimanshu-chanda-fdfc2026-montpelier-a-768x1056.jpg 768w, https:\/\/zbt.de\/app\/uploads\/2026\/05\/zbt-vimanshu-chanda-fdfc2026-montpelier-a-1117x1536.jpg 1117w, https:\/\/zbt.de\/app\/uploads\/2026\/05\/zbt-vimanshu-chanda-fdfc2026-montpelier-a.jpg 1153w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 745px) 100vw, 745px\" \/>\n        <\/figure>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"news-card__body\">\n        <time class=\"topic-card__published\" datetime=\"2026-05-18T14:44:03+00:00\">\n            18.
