SMART GIGA

Innovation

SMART GIGA factories are versatile, highly-automated factories that enable lean manufacturing and boost the rate of innovation by integrating several functions. Being a SMART automated setup, our factories enables several tests and iterations to be performed on a small scale without impacting the time and cost. Whereas, in a traditional factory establishment, the impact of time and cost on several iterations would be huge.

cost

SMART factories are modular factories that require less floor space compared to traditional large factories. Hence, the energy consumption and raw material consumption of the factory is less, thus creating reduced waste and emissions. This positively impacts the operating energy, environmental energy, and processing energy of the factory, ensuring cost savings. In addition, microfactories also cuts down on labor costs.

productivity

SMART factories require a small team of skilled workforce for functioning and does not depend on huge manual labor. In addition to the agility and high automation levels of microfactories, the engagement level of workers is also very high, which naturally boosts their morale towards work, thereby increasing productivity. Workers in the factory have the freedom to try out new methods apart from the standardized ones.

customization

 Customizationof products is becoming a new trend in the manufacturing sector, both in the industrial and commercial space. This trend is driving manufacturers toward SMART factory space, as it provides high-mix, low-volume manufacturing capability, wherein products can be customized and manufactured on-demand. The level of customization could range from small-batch with the current trend to individualization.

modular

Modular manufacturing revolutionizes battery production by breaking it into smaller, specialized units. Each module focuses on a specific aspect of battery assembly, enhancing efficiency and quality control. This approach streamlines production, reduces costs, and enables rapid scalability to meet growing demands for energy storage solutions, driving innovation in renewable energy sectors.

economics

Modular manufacturing in battery production yields significant economic benefits. By enhancing efficiency, it lowers production costs, making batteries more affordable for consumers.
