PIA to supply repacking systems for battery modules to Chinese global market leader
The handling units supplied by PIA ensure a smooth production flow. ©PIA(firmenpresse) - E-mobility is gaining speed – in Europe and around the world. Germany is also seeing a boom in battery cell factory construction. The automation and technical equipment specialists from PIA Automation are involved in a new project spearheaded by a global market leader for Li-ion batteries based in China. PIA’s expertise in tailored assembly and testing equipment for battery production, as well as the company’s proximity to the Chinese market due to its locations in the country, gave PIA the edge it needed to win the project.
The new client is one of the largest manufacturers of lithium-ion batteries for a variety of applications, including the electric vehicles built by multiple carmakers. In its search for local suppliers of machinery and equipment for the production of battery modules at its new factory in Germany, the client decided to go with PIA Automation, conveniently located just a few kilometres away in Erfurt. “What clinched the project for us was the optimum cooperation between our European and Chinese sites,” says Thomas Ernst, Co-CEO of PIA Group. “That allows us to combine the best of both worlds: technological expertise in the field of battery assembly, quick delivery times, fast local support and efficient communication.” The project demonstrates the full effect of PIA’s local-for-local approach of serving its clients from within its network.
Execution of the order, which involves the delivery of multiple manual repacking systems for battery modules, will be overseen by PIA’s service team in Erfurt. The systems are operated by removing a module from a multi-component battery to perform an open-circuit voltage test. After testing, the module is placed in a tray that is stored at full capacity (roughly 600 kg) in a seven-level shelving set-up before being transported by forklift to the next step of the assembly and packing process. “Despite the modest level of automation involved in the project, our concept has now enabled us to make a lasting impression with this global market leader in Europe as well,” says Franz Reiter, Managing Director at PIA SDE. “Thanks to the quality, flexibility and reliability of PIA Automation, we are already seeing further interest in additional orders.” Ernst agrees: “Through projects like these, PIA Group is making a substantial contribution to the establishment of battery production in Europe.”
