Tackling the Cost of Poor Quality with Process Traceability From Powder to Pack

RSVP

What if you could pinpoint the exact moment and location where a defect originated?

Every defective battery cell carries a cost. Scrap and rework are only the beginning; the bigger risks are safety incidents, lost trust, and long-term brand damage.

In this webinar, Honeywell and industry experts will show how process-level traceability, from raw powder to final pack, turns quality control from reactive cleanup into proactive prevention.
