Electrode & coating
Slurry mixing, slot-die coating, drying, calendering and slitting — coat weight, porosity, burrs and edge quality.
Whether your constraint is coating drift, contamination escapes, weld rework, formation cost or a stalled ramp, Anodela lands on that step first and expands from there.
Trusted by cell makers, EV OEMs and ESS suppliers
Slurry mixing, slot-die coating, drying, calendering and slitting — coat weight, porosity, burrs and edge quality.
Stacking and winding, tab and terminal welding, electrolyte fill and sealing to sub-millimetre tolerance.
Formation cycling, aging, degassing, end-of-line test and binning accuracy.
First-pass yield, scrap recovery, rework routing and moving-line takt balancing.
Non-conformance, cell genealogy and standards evidence under IATF 16949 and IEC 62660.
Robotic and AGV handling of electrodes, jelly rolls and cells under contamination control.
A stranded ramp freezes billions in capex. Anodela shortens the search for the process window by simulating it first and holding it automatically once found.
On a mature line the money is in the drift you cannot see: coat-weight variation, slitting burrs, weld energy wander and formation over-provisioning.
Experienced battery process engineers are the scarcest resource in the industry. Anodela encodes their craft so it runs on every shift, every line and every site.
High-volume NMC, LFP and next-generation chemistries where a single escape becomes a recall.
Long-life LFP cells where cycle-life consistency and cost per kWh decide the contract.
Tight-format cells where cosmetic and internal defect tolerance is unforgiving.
Silicon-anode and solid-state lines where the process window is still being discovered.
Incoming cell quality, genealogy and traceability across multiple cell sources.
Ship Anodela-ready autonomy with coating, assembly, inspection and formation systems.
We qualify hard, because a pilot that cannot show ROI wastes your quarter and ours.
| Criterion | Good fit | Not yet a fit |
|---|---|---|
| Scope | Cell manufacturing: electrode, assembly or formation | Module or pack assembly only |
| Volume | Enough cell value that points of yield matter | Pilot-scale lab lines |
| Systems | Coating, inspection, formation and MES with API/OT access | Closed systems with no integration path |
| Mandate | Executive mandate on yield, scrap or formation cost | Exploratory interest without a metric |
| Pilot | Willing to run a paid pilot with a defined success metric | Free proof-of-concept only |
Scope the wedge workflow, connectors, baseline data and the success metric.
Paid 90-day pilot: shadow, then assist, with weekly accuracy and ROI review.
Audited baseline versus current on the agreed metric, signed by your finance team.
Add lines, modules and sites under a multi-year agreement with usage ramps.
“We were stranded at 63% first-pass yield for five months. Anodela ran in shadow for six weeks, then took bounded control of coat weight and drying. We crossed 91% in the next quarter.”
“It reads our CT and vision streams the way a great process engineer does — except it does it on every metre of web, on every shift, and it writes the correction back before the defect becomes scrap.”
“The audit trail was what got quality to yes. Every proposal, approval and executed setpoint is linked to cell genealogy, so our IATF evidence got stronger, not weaker.”
Cell manufacturing is safety-critical and IP-dense. Anodela is designed so quality, IT/OT and EHS approvers can say yes.
SOC 2 Type II program with encryption in transit and at rest, SSO/SAML, SCIM and RBAC down to the line.
Chemistry, coat-weight and formation recipes stay in your tenant. Optional fully on-prem deployment with no egress.
Every perception, proposal, approval and executed setpoint change is immutably logged for IATF 16949 and IEC 62660 evidence.
EU, US, Korea, Japan and China-domestic regions, or air-gapped factory edge for sovereign programs.
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.
Usually not. Anodela consumes their output as one input, adds fused CT and process context, and closes the loop by writing corrections back — which no inspection vendor does.
That is one of the strongest use cases. The twin narrows the process window before the first production run, and fleet-learned priors from similar chemistry and format families accelerate it.
It always is. The first two weeks of a pilot are connector work and data reconciliation, and the baseline is only agreed once both sides trust the numbers.
One call, one wedge workflow, one measurable number. That is how every deployment starts.
