Abstract

This chapter delves into the application of causal models to enhance the production of electrolyser stacks, a critical component in the hydrogen economy. The authors present a prototypical implementation of a pipeline for causal analysis, which aims to identify and address quality issues in manufacturing processes. The chapter covers several key topics, including the importance of causal methods in manufacturing, the challenges of data collection and processing across different processes, and the use of emulated data to validate causal relationships. The authors also discuss the system architecture that enables this causal analysis, highlighting the role of digital twins and the Asset Administration Shell (AAS) in data management. The chapter concludes with a discussion on the potential of this approach to optimize manufacturing processes and reduce costs, paving the way for more efficient and reliable production of electrolyser stacks.
