Comau to Help Ilika Increase Solid-State Battery Manufacturing Production in UK
TURIN, Italy—Comau UK and Ilika plc are collaborating on a 12-month project to design the scale up of Ilika’s solid-state battery manufacturing capacity at its lab-based facility in Romsey, UK. The initial aim is to cost-effectively increase the production of Ilika’s battery cells from 1 kilowatt-hour per week to 10 killowatt-hours per week. Comau will also conduct a feasibility study of the customer’s Goliath solid-state technology process.
This Advanced Propulsion Centre project highlights Comau’s continued investments in the electrification sector, and leverages its more than 45 years of expertise in automation and digitalization technologies. The project also allows Ilika to select and source the optimal combination of systems that can help them meet aggressive throughput and time-to-market goals. Comau’s international network spanning 14 countries also allows it to design a standardized solution that can be easily reproduced around the world.
