Achieve high-quality mass production in battery manufacturing with camLine’s advanced MES solution.
We are your partner in transforming battery production from lab to fab.
Visit us at FBF 2024, Booth K05, to discuss how our solutions can meet your needs.
The global shift towards net zero emissions has accelerated the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs), leading to a surge in demand for EV batteries that has nearly overwhelmed supply chains. Additionally, the emergence of ‘Battery-as-a-Service’ (BaaS) is revolutionizing the industry by offering quick battery swapping, encouraging wider adoption of electric vehicles.
In response, automobile companies are partnering closely with energy sectors to secure material supplies, while battery manufacturers focus on enhancing scalability, innovation, and flexibility, including the development of gigafactories, to meet the growing demand.
Battery manufacturers must quickly accelerate the production ramp-ups to meet rising demand. Prioritizing production efficiency and early anomaly detection is crucial to reducing production costs, boosting yields, and meeting strict delivery times. Managing large data volumes from production while achieving high-quality standards requires tight response times to ensure stable, consistently high-quality production
New battery maker lacks resources and needs experienced partners to meet tight schedules and stay competitive.
Global battery demand rises, depleting key raw materials. Manufacturers search for alternatives to maintain cell performance.
Battery recycling remains a challenge despite progress in sustainable cell production. Efficient battery lifecycle management improves recycling.
New companies aim to grow from lab to gigafactory quickly, needing a scalable digital backbone.
Switching from continuous to discrete production hinders tracking pre-products and relating performance to process parameters.
Battery makers face competition for knowledgeable employees as they aim to boost output. Efficient knowledge sharing is crucial to success.
Continuous quality assurance is critical as battery pack performance depends on the weakest cell.
The shift from continuous to discrete manufacturing in battery cell production marks a significant change in how manufacturers approach the new production process. Continuous manufacturing relies on simple MES (Manufacturing Execution System) software to ensure uninterrupted production flow, while discrete manufacturing requires more complex MES solutions.
MES software must provide real-time monitoring and detailed traceability, manage different batches and adapt to frequent scheduling and product changes to ensure that each batch meets certified quality standards while maintaining production efficiency and consistency.
Battery manufacturers must adapt to the unique challenges of discrete manufacturing, including handling production breakdown and ensuring effective batch tracking.
The MES software must support these processes with real-time monitoring, detailed traceability, and quick resolutions to ensure every batch meets manufacturing quality standards.
Battery cell manufacturers require MES software equipped with essential capabilities to meet the unique challenges of discrete manufacturing, such as:
As battery manufacturing evolves, MES software must also incorporate advanced features such as:
First-time-right production is critical, along with the implementation of a “battery passport” to track the lifecycle of each battery cell, ensuring compliance, sustainability, and transparency throughout the supply chain.
Focus on anode/cathode quality parameters with comprehensive traceability down to the individual cell layers to ensure the integrity and quality of the individual battery cells and ultimately the entire battery pack at every stage of production.
The identification of dead zones in the production processes of anode and cathode rolls through the precise detection of unusable roll sections is crucial for reducing waste and improving quality – even in downstream production steps.
From 2027, the battery passport mandates full traceability of battery packs and the seamless recording of data on the origin and composition of materials during production. Our MES supports these requirements with customized data reports that ensure compliance of the battery passport.
camLine collaborates with universities and research institutes for battery production and integrates the latest findings into its solutions to benefit our customers.
Our AI/ML-supported data analysis add-on enables predictive classification of battery cells, accelerating production ramp-ups and boosting yields in battery manufacturing.

“I am responsible for yield, material flow, and the overall equipment efficiency (OEE) across production, down to the individual system. I need up-to-date key figures and a range of evaluations at all times.”
“Checking my equipment at all times is a must to better organize maintenance and inspection schedules. Therefore, I do need an overview of the status, process flow, and alarms of every equipment.”
“Developing a continuous process is one of my tasks, and therefore I do need real-time data of the actual process in combination with product data, process plans, consumables, recipes, etc.”
“I need to know what happens next? Where’s next step? What equipment/recipe setup? Some working instructions would be helpful.”
