8 9 Advanced solutions for the formation of li-ion cells Our cell finishing systems enable our customers to reliably conclude the production process. These systems cover the entire process - from formation of the passivation layer, degasing, aging, through to end-of-line testing of the cell, and classification. Prototype production We provide quality-conscious processes by forming, testing and assessing every individual cell. We test, collect, and store the data for each individual cell. Also for the serial production Pilot production We are proud of being able to offer our customers the entire product portfolio - from cell and full battery system installation through to test. Dr. Achim Agostini, thyssenkrupp System Engineering In most cases, our project managers opt for self-developed innovations. This is an advantage not only for a smooth installation of the system, but also for its subsequent operation. The collaboration with reliable and innovative suppliers, enables us to address almost any customer requirement. Furthermore, we are profiting from our experience in the automotive industry, particularly in the fields of charging and testing. The transfer of proven technologies and software to new fields is benefiting our customers. For example, the use of our general-purpose UPS (universal test software) has drastically reduced defects and downtime. Mass scale manufacturing
