Autonomy for every step of the cell

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.

Where Anodela lands

Electrode & coating

Slurry mixing, slot-die coating, drying, calendering and slitting — coat weight, porosity, burrs and edge quality.

Cell assembly

Stacking and winding, tab and terminal welding, electrolyte fill and sealing to sub-millimetre tolerance.

Formation & grading

Formation cycling, aging, degassing, end-of-line test and binning accuracy.

Yield & scrap

First-pass yield, scrap recovery, rework routing and moving-line takt balancing.

Quality & traceability

Non-conformance, cell genealogy and standards evidence under IATF 16949 and IEC 62660.

Dry-room logistics

Robotic and AGV handling of electrodes, jelly rolls and cells under contamination control.

Three ways plants start

Ramp a new line faster

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.

  • Twin-found coating and calendering windows before first production run
  • Bounded control holds the window through shift and ambient variation
  • Ramp evidence structured for qualification and customer PPAP

Cut scrap on a running line

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.

  • Continuous correction instead of periodic recipe tuning
  • Scrap attribution by station, shift, roll and chemistry
  • Rework and quarantine sequencing that recovers recoverable cells

Close the process-engineer gap

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.

  • Per-factory memory capturing engineer decisions and outcomes
  • New engineers onboard against a grounded, cited knowledge base
  • Night and weekend shifts run at day-shift quality

Different cells, same constraint

EV cell makers

High-volume NMC, LFP and next-generation chemistries where a single escape becomes a recall.

ESS & grid storage

Long-life LFP cells where cycle-life consistency and cost per kWh decide the contract.

Consumer cells

Tight-format cells where cosmetic and internal defect tolerance is unforgiving.

Next-gen chemistries

Silicon-anode and solid-state lines where the process window is still being discovered.

Tier-1 pack suppliers

Incoming cell quality, genealogy and traceability across multiple cell sources.

Equipment OEMs

Ship Anodela-ready autonomy with coating, assembly, inspection and formation systems.

Is Anodela right for your site?

We qualify hard, because a pilot that cannot show ROI wastes your quarter and ours.

How a solution gets deployed

  1. Assess

    Scope the wedge workflow, connectors, baseline data and the success metric.

  2. Pilot

    Paid 90-day pilot: shadow, then assist, with weekly accuracy and ROI review.

  3. Prove

    Audited baseline versus current on the agreed metric, signed by your finance team.

  4. Expand

    Add lines, modules and sites under a multi-year agreement with usage ramps.

Solutions in production

“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.

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.

Solution questions

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.

Find the step that is costing you the most.

One call, one wedge workflow, one measurable number. That is how every deployment starts.
