Clean Tech & Batteries

Scaling the technologies that power the energy transition

The battery & clean tech sector is scaling at breakneck speed — building giga factories, qualifying new chemistries, and ramping production while simultaneously establishing the quality systems and process controls that mature industries take decades to develop. We help clean tech manufacturers scale right the first time.

Faster Ramp-Up

Reduction in process and production ramp-up time when using pre-integrated partner solutions

Pains Holding You Back

The industry's combination of extreme precision, massive capital investment, and relentless technology evolution creates unique pressures.

Prototype-to-Production Gap

Cell designs that work in the lab fail at volume. Without structured design transfer processes, teams repeat costly trial-and-error cycles on every new programme.

⚠️ 12–18 month delays are common when scaling from pilot to volume production

Yield & Scrap Visibility

Real-time production data exists in silos — electrode coating, cell assembly, formation and grading systems don't talk to each other, making root cause analysis painfully slow.

⚠️ 30–50% scrap rates in early ramp-up with limited ability to identify root causes

Quality System Immaturity

Teams scaling from R&D lack the structured FMEA, control plan and APQP disciplines that automotive OEMs demand. Quality is reactive, not preventive.

⚠️ PPAP rejections and OEM audit failures delay programme launches by months

Traceability & Regulatory Pressure

The EU Battery Regulation demands full cell-to-pack traceability, carbon footprint data and Battery Passport compliance — but most manufacturers lack the data infrastructure.

⚠️ Non-compliance risks market access across the entire European EV supply chain

Knowledge Silos Between Programmes

Lessons from one cell chemistry or format don't transfer to the next. Design decisions, failure modes and process parameters are locked in individuals' heads or in spreadsheets.

⚠️ Teams repeat the same mistakes programme after programme

Disconnected Engineering & Production Systems

CAD, PLM, MES, test data and ERP operate independently. Engineers waste hours reconciling BOMs, chasing revision status, and manually linking design intent to production.

⚠️ Engineering changes take weeks to reach the production floor accurately
