Battery Inspection
Inspection technology and automation from a single source
Automated quality assurance for safety & performance
More climate protection, new markets, less dependence on fossil fuels: mobility is being rethought for the future.
Electromobility is seen as the global key to climate-friendly mobility. Electric vehicles generate significantly lower CO2 emissions when in operation and using electricity generated from renewable sources.
The quality, performance and service life of the high-voltage battery play a decisive role in this. They are essential for the success of the energy transition.

CASE STUDY
Battery Inspection for BMW Group
From cell coating to high-voltage battery.
More safety, efficiency and quality to increase your own competitiveness.
As a leading system integrator for turnkey solutions for industrial image processing, we have more than 300 systems installed worldwide and 44 years of experience – with a strong focus on the automotive & battery industry. Premium automotive OEM’s are already using our solutions worldwide in the series production of batteries, ensuring globally uniform quality standards.
Our quality inspection increases the safety of the various process steps through objective and repeatable testing, early detection of series defects and complete documentation. We offer solutions for automated surface inspection of:
- Weld seams: Cell contact systems
- Weld seams: Tie rods (structural seams)
- Surface inspection: Painted and metallic surfaces
Our inspection ensures battery manufacturers at the following levels:
- Cell level: Surface inspection of painted cells (1 complete cell/s)
- Module level: Weld seam inspection of battery connections and housing seams
- Pack level: Structural weld seam inspection on battery frames as well as surface and geometry inspection for round cells (e.g. 21700 or 46800)
Highest speed and highest quality is our goal for our customers in the battery and new energy sector, among others.
