Process

21 stations.
One continuous line.

Cells arrive on pallets and leave as finished PACKs after three segments: cell processing, module stacking and welding, and PACK assembly and test. Quality-critical steps are automated; assembly stays flexible.

Cell processing sits at the head of the line, the module line runs along one side, and the straight PACK line joins it at station 14. Dimensions exclude storage and aisles and are adapted to your building.

Two flows, 26 operations.
Automated where it pays off.

Quality-critical steps — test and sort, terminal addressing, laser welding, module EOL and adhesive dispensing — are automated. Assembly stays manual for flexibility across product variants.
