The main aim of the MAS-TECH project is to complement the existing technology platform at Solvicore with additional cost-reducing elements to thereby further cut overall manufacturing costs. Solvicore is pursuing the following goals to enhance additional cost reduction potentials within the scope of this project:
- The process chain will be equipped with selected automated in-line control systems. These will be developed as part of the project and implemented with the goal of enhancing the cycle time and minimising reject rates.
- Further cost reductions will be achieved through the elimination or significant improvement of process steps as well as through the testing and introduction of improved quality control systems.
- Finally, through the development of an automated roll-to-roll assembly process together with various specialist partners from Germany, a further boost to efficiency will be possible.
As such, the project will shape a cost-optimised technology platform that enhances the international competitiveness of MEA production to therefore also strengthen German industry.
