MANUFACTURING EXCELLENCE

BATTERY PACK MANUFACTURING PROCESS AND EQUIPMENTS

Digitalization is the secret receipt to Kais superior quality control. Every product has to go through various tests and cleansing throughout the production process; the result of each test is tracked and recorded to the MES system for monitoring and analysis. This big data lays the foundation for our constant optimization of the production line.

Control for quality

ENVIRONMENT CONTROL

The importance of environmental control is often underrated in battery pack manufacturing. The temperature and humidity of the factory are both critical factors affecting the capacity and performance of the battery. The fluctuating temperature will impact the final rated capacity of the batteries. High humidity will cause metal components to rust, while low humidity will cause electrostatic discharge (ESD).

EXHAUSTIVE ANTI-ESD CONTROL

TOTAL ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE PROTECTION

ESD is a critical concern in electronic manufacturing because it has a significant impact on the quality of the final product, and these impacts are often undetected until much later into a product’s life cycle.

Kais has adopted a systematic approach to eliminating ESD from our production floor, from electrically conductive workwear such as Anti-ESD wristband, protection shoes, grounded carts, to conductive materials used in the floor, ceiling, and wall, as well as the anti-static gate.

FULL PROCESS MES TRACKING SYSTEM

INTEGRATED MANUFACTURING EXECUTION SYSTEM

Kais’s incessant pursuit of quality is inseparable from its meticulously designed Manufacturing Execution System (MES). The system provides real-time feedback and all component traceability for in-depth optimization.

The MES monitors every product as it moves through our production line, providing essential information about its material and component makeup while incorporating the results from in-process tests. This allows us to track any faults in a product straight back to its origin. It also collects data to support our production optimization efforts.
