Atos announces that it has been selected by Automotive Cells Company (ACC), a European manufacturer of batteries for electric vehicles (EVs), for the supervision and maintenance of the IT infrastructure operations of its three gigafactories located in France, Germany and Italy.
ACC needs a robust IT infrastructure to achieve its production target of more than 2 million lithium-ion batteries per year by 2030, representing 120 GWh of energy. The first of its gigafactories, in Billy-Berclau (northern France), will be operational by the end of 2023, marking ACC's official entry into the market. When it reaches its full capacity of 40 GWh, the Billy-Berclau plant will account for one-third of ACC's total production. The electric vehicle battery manufacturer then plans to increase its capacity by commissioning two more gigafactories powered by Atos: one in Kaiserslautern (Germany) in 2025 and another in Termoli (Italy) in 2026.
"Several factors influence the successful implementation of our manufacturing processes, including a flawless IT infrastructure. This is a prerequisite for the commissioning of the Billy-Berclau plant and reaching nominal capacity by the end of 2024. We selected Atos to oversee and maintain our three gigafactories in France, Germany, and Italy not only because of the quality of their proposal, but also because of their expertise in the strategic engineering of digital environments within an infrastructure that is robust, industrialized, cost-effective, and transparent," said François Carrot, CIO, ACC.
ACC, backed by European authorities, TotalEnergies-Saft, Stellantis, and Mercedes, aims to become Europe's leading manufacturer of high-capacity, sustainable, and affordable batteries for electric vehicles. Three years after its creation, ACC already has an R&D center in Bruges, near Bordeaux, and is strengthening its operations with a pilot plant in Nersac (southwest France) and its first gigafactory in Billy-Berclau, in the north of the country.
“We are proud to support ACC in its manufacturing process, as well as to contribute to the rollout of electric battery production in France, leveraging our expertise in mission-critical IT infrastructure. On behalf of Atos, I would like to thank ACC for trusting in our expertise. As a pioneer in decarbonized digital services, Atos shares ACC’s ambition to decarbonize our industries through technological innovations,” commented Stéphane Richard, Global Head of Technology Advisory & Customized Services, Atos.

The ability to integrate printed circuit boards and electronic assemblies directly into mechanisms and structures thanks to printing and thermoforming technologies opens up a range of possibilities in different sectors, such as household appliances or automotive, where its use has begun to spread for the instrument panel of cars, for example.
These new solutions are rapidly changing the way electronic functionalities are manufactured and integrated into any type of instrument or component, and are the ones that will be tested for the first time in Europe for space applications in a new project funded by the European Space Agency (ESA) and led by Tekniker.
