Abstract

Method and apparatus for industrial scale production of a suspension for a battery, wherein an input material is processed via ball milling in a rotating chamber of a device that is effected as a continuous process with a continuously controlled addition of the input material and with a continuously controlled delivery of the processed output material, where state parameters of the input material and process parameters of the manufacturing installation are acquired as first parameters during production of the suspension, results of laboratory analyses about the state or quality of the manufactured suspension are acquired as second parameters in a learning phase during production, the first and the second parameters are used in the learning phase for training a model for predicting the state or quality via machine learning, and where the device is open-loop or closed-loop controlled outside the learning phase via the first parameters and the trained model.
