Seven agents. One line. One orchestrator.

Each Anodela agent owns a step of cell manufacturing, runs at the factory edge, and hands off through a shared model of the electrode, the jelly roll and the cell.

Every agent, and what it owns

Coat & Calender agent

Controls slurry mixing, slot-die coating, drying and calendering for loading, coat weight, thickness and porosity uniformity across the full web width.

Defect & Inspect agent

Senses and predicts coating defects, wrinkles, pinholes, streaks, burrs, metal particles, weld quality and internal defects from vision and inline X-ray/CT.

Assemble & Weld agent

Controls stacking and winding, tab and terminal welding, electrolyte fill and sealing to sub-millimetre tolerance with void and misalignment prediction.

Formation & Grade agent

Optimizes formation cycling, aging, degassing, end-of-line test and grading/binning to cut hours, energy and working capital per cell.

Yield & Takt agent

Balances the moving line, optimizes first-pass yield, scrap recovery, WIP routing and takt when a bottleneck or quality risk appears.

Robot & Handling agent

Drives robots, AGVs and dry-room material handling for electrodes, jelly rolls and cells with fail-safe stop behaviour.

Quality & Conformance agent

Optimizes right-first-time, non-conformance handling, cell genealogy and traceability evidence under IATF 16949 and IEC 62660.

Cell digital twin

Simulates coating, drying, calendering, assembly and formation as-built versus as-designed and hits target yield, quality and takt before the run.

How an agent decides — and why you can audit it

An agent is not a chat window. It is a bounded control loop with grounded perception, an approved action space, a simulation gate and an immutable record.

Grounded perception, not guesswork

Every inference cites the sensor stream, the recipe revision and the standard clause it was evaluated against. Engineers can trace any decision to its evidence in one click.

  • Citations on every recommendation and control proposal
  • Retrieval across recipes, specs, IATF 16949, ISO 9001, IEC 62660, UN38.3 and UL
  • Per-factory memory that captures the craft of your best process engineers

A bounded action space

Each agent can only act inside an envelope your quality team approved and the twin validated. Everything else is a proposal that waits for a human.

  • Per-agent, per-line, per-chemistry control envelopes
  • Fail-safe stop for coating, weld, robot and AGV actions
  • Idempotent steps with automatic rollback on adverse downstream signal

Learning from every correction

When an engineer rejects or edits a proposal, that becomes training signal. The action-result history — proposal, approval, executed change, rollback, downstream outcome — is far harder to copy than labelled images alone.

  • Supervised corrections retrain chemistry-specific models
  • Rare-event synthesis fills gaps for defects you have never seen
  • Federated fleet learning shares improvements without sharing your recipes

How agents hand off across the line

  1. Shared world model

    All agents read one fused representation of the electrode, jelly roll and cell — no duplicated or conflicting perception.

  2. Priority arbitration

    When quality risk and takt conflict, safety and cell quality win; the orchestrator resolves and records why.

  3. Cross-step causality

    A formation anomaly can be traced back to a coating zone, a slitting burr or a weld station via cell genealogy.

  4. Escalation

    Anything outside the envelope, novel or safety-relevant escalates to the named engineer with full context.

Autonomy is earned in stages, never switched on.

Shadow, advisory, then bounded control — each stage unlocked by measured accuracy against your own engineers and validated in the twin.

The as-built cell digital twin

Before an agent is allowed to act, its envelope is proven in simulation against as-built line behaviour — not the as-designed drawing.

Hit yield before the run

Simulate thousands of recipe and takt scenarios per line: coating and drying, calendering, stacking and winding, welding, fill, sealing, formation scheduling and robot flow. Commission new lines and new chemistries with the window already found.

As-built vs as-designed

The twin is continuously reconciled with real line telemetry.

Scenario library

Every validated envelope becomes reusable qualification evidence.

Takt simulation

Predict throughput impact before changing a single setpoint.

Chemistry transfer

Move a proven window from NMC to LFP or silicon-anode faster.

Agents at work

“Formation was 24% of our cell cost. Anodela re-sequenced channels and trimmed the protocol per cell, and we took 17% of the formation hours out without touching a single capacity spec.”
Elena RossiVP Manufacturing, Kestrel Energy
“Metal-particle escapes were our nightmare. The contamination model flags a signature our inspection vendor simply does not see, and it quarantines the affected cells automatically.”
James WhitcombeReliability Engineering Lead, Helion Motors
“We commissioned line four with the twin first. It predicted the calendering window that would hold porosity, and the real line matched it within tolerance on week two.”
Aiko TanakaGigafactory Program Director, Aurora

From shadow to bounded control

Each level has entry criteria, a measured accuracy bar and an exit path back to the previous level if performance degrades.

Built for the assurance bar of battery manufacturing

Cell manufacturing is safety-critical and IP-dense. Anodela is designed so quality, IT/OT and EHS approvers can say yes.

SOC 2 & ISO 27001

SOC 2 Type II program with encryption in transit and at rest, SSO/SAML, SCIM and RBAC down to the line.

IP & recipe protection

Chemistry, coat-weight and formation recipes stay in your tenant. Optional fully on-prem deployment with no egress.

Assurance-grade audit trail

Every perception, proposal, approval and executed setpoint change is immutably logged for IATF 16949 and IEC 62660 evidence.

Data residency

EU, US, Korea, Japan and China-domestic regions, or air-gapped factory edge for sovereign programs.

Connected to the systems your line already runs on

Pre-built OT and API connectors read process, vision, X-ray/CT, formation and MES data — and write bounded setpoints back. Nothing rips and replaces; Anodela runs alongside the equipment you have qualified.

Agent questions

They coordinate through the orchestrator and a shared world model rather than free-form messaging, so every hand-off is typed, bounded and auditable.

Fine-tuned vision and time-series models for perception and control, served on-site; frontier models from Anthropic and Google for battery-process and safety reasoning. A router picks the best and cheapest model per step.

Yes. Agents are independently licensed, armed and disarmed per line, and any agent can be returned to advisory or shadow instantly without stopping production.
