Part 11/14:
Tesla has pioneered full automation in battery and component manufacturing. The dry electrode process—which eliminates the traditional “spoon” method—uses fully automated lines that currently outperform legacy processes by over 20 times productivity per tool, with defect rates below 0.05%.
The company consistently leverages 3D simulation to design production lines virtually before deployment, reducing errors, cycle times, and costs. And in their battery module assembly, they are implementing parallelizing manufacturing steps, drastically reducing final assembly times and optimizing material flow.
