Electrification is bottlenecked by yield, not demand

The world does not lack battery demand or capacity plans. It lacks lines that reach target yield on time. Anodela exists to close that gap with autonomy the plant can actually trust.

Every cell, perfect yield.

A gigafactory ramp that takes 30 months instead of 12 is not a manufacturing detail — it is the difference between an energy transition that happens this decade and one that does not.

Why we started Anodela

We spent years watching brilliant process engineers fight a losing battle against variation with tools designed to report the past, not change the future.

MES tells you what went wrong. Yesterday.

Plants are drowning in data and starving for decisions. Dashboards multiply while the coating window is still tuned by the most experienced person on shift.

  • Systems of record everywhere, systems of action nowhere
  • Expertise concentrated in a handful of people per plant
  • Every new line rediscovers the same process window from scratch

Autonomy is only acceptable if it is accountable

Nobody in a cell plant will hand control to a black box. So we built the audit trail, the simulation gate and the envelope model before we built the autonomy.

  • Grounded outputs with citations, not confident guesses
  • Twin validation before any control authority
  • Immutable records that strengthen qualification evidence

The compounding asset is the data

Every corrected proposal makes the next one better. Across chemistries and formats, that becomes a process-physics corpus no single plant can build alone.

  • Chemistry-specific defect and window models
  • Federated improvement without pooling recipes
  • A moat that deepens with every line, not every seat

How we work

Evidence over opinion

If we claim a number, we can show the baseline, the method and who signed it off.

The floor is the customer

Product decisions are made next to the line, on shift, not in a conference room.

Simple beats clever

A narrow autonomous loop that runs every shift beats a general system that runs in a demo.

Trust is the product

Security, reversibility and auditability are features, not compliance overhead.

Ramp speed matters

Every week we remove from a ramp is real energy capacity in the world.

Own the outcome

We price on results because we intend to be accountable for them.

Who builds Anodela

Anodela is led by its co-founders, Oliver Hayes (CEO) and Brandon Scott (CTO).

Co-Founder & CEO

Oliver Hayes

Oliver owns the design-partner programme, the pilot structure and the commercial model, starting with the cell lines where yield loss and scrap cost the most.

Co-Founder & CTO

Brandon Scott

Brandon owns the factory-edge runtime, the perception and control models, the digital twin and the audit architecture behind every Anodela agent.

Battery process engineers

People who have commissioned electrode and assembly lines and know why they fail.

Edge & robotics engineers

Real-time perception and control on NVIDIA hardware at line speed.

Applied scientists

Physics-informed models for coating, calendering, welding and formation.

Quality & standards specialists

IATF 16949, IEC 62660 and PPAP experience embedded in the product.

What our design partners say

“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.”
Marta VogelPlant Director, Volta Cells
“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.”
Daniel OkaforHead of Process Engineering, Amperex ESS
“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.”
Sung-Ho ParkQuality Director, Prisma Cells

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.

Built for the world's largest gigafactories

Multi-site programs

Standardize coating, weld and formation autonomy across every plant with central model governance and per-site envelopes.

Factory edge fleet

Managed Jetson/IGX clusters with OTA updates, versioned rollbacks and 99.9% availability targets.

Dedicated assurance

Named process-AI engineer, qualification support, PPAP-aligned documentation and 24/7 escalation.

Outcome-based commercials

Multi-year agreements with pricing tied to first-pass yield, scrap and formation cost.

About Anodela

Yes — engineering, deployment and go-to-market. Deployment roles involve real time on plant floors, which we consider a feature.

Distributed across Europe, North America and Korea, deliberately close to where cells are made.

Investor details are shared under NDA during diligence. [PLACEHOLDER]
