A production line has to make the right product at the planned capacity and quality. We plan and deliver production lines for electric vehicles, batteries and related products, covering process layout, equipment selection and supply, tooling and control integration, installation, commissioning and handover. Projects can start with a new line or focus on expanding, adapting, relocating or improving an existing one.
You are setting up a new facility and need the line planned, from product and process inputs to station layout, equipment and interfaces.
You need more output or new models on an existing line, with changeovers fitted into short shutdown windows.
You are moving a line or setting one up at an overseas site, where delivery, installation and production schedules have to be coordinated.
You want to remove bottlenecks or improve how an existing line runs.
We cover every stage of a line, from the first layout to the start of production.
We define the product, capacity, line speed, process flow, layout, key equipment and site requirements, and check the interfaces with material handling, controls, data and energy systems. The result is a concept for a new line or a retrofit, with a phased implementation plan. For overseas sites, the plan covers local mains voltage and frequency, earthing, language and certification requirements.
We integrate cycling, electrical testing, leak testing, fixtures and automation with the rest of the line’s equipment. Depending on the scope, we design, manufacture or procure the equipment, then install, wire, configure and commission it, including the interfaces with neighboring processes.
We run factory and site acceptance tests against the technical agreement, resolve open issues, train your team and hand over the documentation. We then support trial runs and the start of production.
You can engage us for planning only, or for the complete line from design to handover.
Because we also make production line test equipment, testing is planned into the line from the start. Electrical safety, function, communication and leak tests, and the fixtures and software behind them, are integrated with the rest of the line and commissioned together.
A new overseas production line and a test platform upgrade had to progress together while meeting local equipment, electrical and English documentation requirements.
We adapted the test systems, upgraded the existing platform, added new test sections and supported on-site installation, commissioning and acceptance documentation.
The test systems have been delivered. The platform upgrade and the second line are in progress.
Battery models and line conditions differed between plants. Test equipment on two lines in Thailand had to be retrofitted within short shutdown windows, and a line moved from China to India had to be adapted and recommissioned.
We reused the existing hardware platform and adapted fixtures, software configuration and test items for each battery model and plant.
The Thailand retrofits have been delivered, and the India line is in progress.
Tell us about your product and capacity targets, and our engineers will help you plan the line.
