How camLine MOM Is Driving Digital Transformation in Battery Manufacturing

Share this post on:

Battery manufacturing is evolving rapidly in response to the growing demand of electric vehicles (EVs). At the same time, ensuring full traceability to achieve high-quality output and comply with stringent industry regulations remains a critical challenge. To stay ahead, manufacturers must adopt automated, end-to-end adaptable manufacturing control solutions.

Leveraging decades of expertise in semiconductor manufacturing, camLine has successfully extended its software solutions to diverse industries—including the battery sector. To meet the unique challenges of the battery industry, camLine Manufacturing Operations Management (MOM) solution is built to enhance overall efficiency and ensure operational excellence.

Meeting the Complexity of Modern Battery Production

Battery production includes many precise steps, from mixing raw materials and running through rollers to forming individual cells. Each step requires detailed traceability.

“Manufacturing of batteries is kind of challenging... every single battery cell requires a lot of traceability.”— Bryan Ng, CEO, camLine

Battery packs are becoming larger and more complex, consisting of many interconnected cells. Being able to quickly identify defects and track quality issues in real time is critical.

As production volumes increase, the need for full visibility across the entire value chain becomes even more essential—to ensure safety and maintain high performance.

Why Automation and Traceability Matter in Battery Manufacturing

Automation

Automation in battery manufacturing involves integrating robotics and manufacturing lines to increase throughput. However, automation alone is not enough. To fully optimize operations, the next step is linking contextual information to enable analytics and insights for production traceability.

“With years of experience in automation and integration, camLine brings extensive know-how in collecting data and linking sensor information with process context. This foundation enables advanced traceability critical to modern battery production.”— Bryan Ng, CEO, camLine

Traceability

Traceability allows manufacturers to track every component and process step, making it possible to isolate faulty batches quickly before they impact final product quality or safety. Bryan Ng highlights that this capability is vital, especially when managing risks such as defective or even burnout batteries.

Beyond MES: The Scope of Manufacturing Operations Management (MOM)

End-to-End Lifecycle Traceability

Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) primarily focus on executing production orders on the shop floor. However, camLine MOM solutions take a broader approach, covering the entire battery manufacturing lifecycle.

As Bryan Ng explains, “MOM is covering more from the site of incoming materials to the warehouse, issuing the materials, going down to the line, running all the way until the finished goods, going back to the warehouse, and tracking that even for deliveries to the customers.”

End-to-end supply chain process in manufacturing integrating quality checks, traceability, and certificate management from incoming goods to issuance.

This end-to-end scope includes material handling, warehousing, production line integration, and delivery logistics, giving manufacturers seamless control, traceability and visibility over their complete operations.

As a result, manufacturers gain the ability to make faster, better-informed decisions that improve operational efficiency and product quality.
