camLine Acquires iCADA: Advancing Semiconductor Excellence
camLine strengthens its semiconductor leadership by acquiring iCADA, enhancing process excellence in lithography, metrology, and material management.
camLine’s AI solutions cut theion’s battery testing from 42 days to 15 hours, accelerating development and scaling lithium sulfur battery production.
camLine, an Elisa IndustrlQ company and a leading provider of Manufacturing Execution System (MES), along with theion, a pioneering sulfur crystal battery company, are proud to announce their collaboration to implement AI-driven solutions that will accelerate the development of advanced battery technologies worldwide, revolutionizing the way battery manufacturers transition from lab-scale to mass production.
The collaboration brings together camLine’s cutting-edge AI tools, which are the Battery Lifetime Predictor and Root Cause Analyzer, with theion’s innovative approach to sulfur crystal battery technology.
In a recent implementation, camLine’s Battery Lifetime Predictor has reduced theion’s R&D testing times from 42 days to just 15 hours, while maintaining a prediction accuracy of 99.8%. Additionally, AI-Driven Root Cause Analyzer has proven to facilitate early anomaly detection in the production process, enabling faster corrective actions and reducing downtime. This breakthrough allows theion to greatly accelerate its development cycles.
“As a key player in the battery industry, I am proud that our AI-driven solutions have effectively met the needs of theion, reducing their testing times by an impressive 98%. This significant improvement enhances their overall production efficiency in battery manufacturing, allowing them to stay competitive as a leader in the industry,” said Mirčo Krsteski, Key Account Manager of camLine.
“After comparing different AI tool solutions for our development process, we identified camLine as a powerful partner that will save us a lot of time while maintaining high quality,” said Martin Schaupp, CTO of theion.
The partnership also aims to scale lithium sulfur battery technology from lab-scale R&D to full-scale manufacturing. camLine’s AI-powered MES suite provides theion with real-time data collection with an efficient track and trace, predictive analytics, and automated decision-making capabilities, ensuring a seamless transition to mass production.
Headquartered in Berlin, Germany, theion develops sulfur crystal batteries for mobile and stationary applications. By using sulfur, theion targets to store up to 3x more energy in its batteries compared to today’s generations of batteries. The range of electric cars could exceed 1,000 km, and electric flights would become economically viable. theion’s proprietary production processes are very cost-and energy-efficient, complementing the idea of creating a highly sustainable battery affordable for everyone.
