Running continuously, the new high speed line allows Solicore to further lead the industry with its ability to scale production to meet customer and market demand for thin film lithium polymer batteries. Much of this ability is attributed to the design of Solicore’s high speed production process which utilizes fewer production steps than comparable battery manufacturers.
“We’ve cut down the time it takes to switch between battery sizes on the high speed manufacturing line; what once took days, now takes only a matter of hours and consistently produces premium product from the line. This allows for greater flexibility to expand capacity as demand continues to increase across all battery sizes,” says Dan Tillwick, chief operating officer for Solicore. “Our year-to-date on-time delivery is over 98 percent, reflecting a tremendous team effort and successful upgrades to our high speed manufacturing line.”
Solicore’s Flexion line of thin film batteries continues to outperform its competition, and is recognized by market leaders as the battery of choice for powered cards. It was developed to meet all key production requirements necessary for powered card manufacturing, including hot lamination.
“Solicore is continuously driving R&D innovation and accelerating our thin-film battery production scale-up,” says Tillwick. “Our strategic decision to align manufacturing processes with a focus on maximum scalability has been validated by recent large volume orders from our customers.”
Solicore is a US-based provider of Flexion product portfolio of advanced ultra-thin flexible lithium polymer batteries.
