An automated roll-to-roll line producing continuous film material

BATTERY & FILM

Battery & Film

Connect continuous-material metrology, surface inspection, process feedback and material flow in one lot-level architecture.

FACTORY PAINS

Priority factory bottlenecks

Start from recurring losses and ownership gaps, not technology labels.

  • 01

    Tracking cross-web thickness and surface variation together

  • 02

    Weak linkage between rare defects and process causes

  • 03

    Disconnected line speed, lot coordinates and inspection data

  • 04

    Separate operation of material transport and production equipment

REFERENCE ARCHITECTURE

Application architecture

The focus is how data and machine action connect, not a list of boxes.

  1. 01

    Measure

    WebGauge and SurfaceMetrix collect width, thickness and geometry data.

  2. 02

    Inspect

    InspectAI and Fusion3D evaluate surface and shape defects.

  3. 03

    Control

    EdgeLink connects PLC, recipe and process-feedback boundaries.

  4. 04

    Move

    FleetOS and OmniMove manage raw-material and finished-goods flow.

  5. 05

    Operate

    QualityOS and DeviceOps manage lot, calibration, model and device history.

FAQ

Questions before assessment

Do we have to replace the existing inspection equipment?

We first assess existing cameras, gauges, PLC interfaces and data quality, then separate what can be reused, supplemented or replaced.

Can you promise an improvement percentage?

We do not promise a number before samples and line conditions are verified. Discovery defines the baseline and measurement method, followed by an agreed PoC gate.

Define the scope for your Battery & Film site

We review the baseline, samples, interfaces, safety and quality conditions and propose the PoC gates.
