Modernization of production processes and improvement of quality control

Custom web development for Banner Batteries

Banner Batteries, a leading manufacturer of automotive batteries, faced the challenge of modernizing its production processes and replacing its existing software with a future-proof solution.

Two previous attempts with other partners had failed: The systems remained incomplete and could not meet the complex requirements. The existing software reached its limits when processing the large volumes of data, particularly in terms of speed and stability.

Furthermore, various production lines with different machine types and processes had to be integrated into a central database. Each battery has to pass several tests and remains in quarantine for several weeks to ensure quality and safety. The new system had to recognize whether a battery was being tested for the first or second time and correctly assign the data.

R&D Staff

The speed with which the team familiarized themselves with our complex processes was impressive. In a very short time, they understood what was important and were able to deliver immediate added value.

Solution content

Banner Batteries chose Objectbay to improve its weighing system for quality control. A certified software development team from Objectbay integrated seamlessly into the existing processes.

The product is central to the production of Banner batteries. Every machine that processes a battery writes data to the battery database. This data is analyzed, and the software calculates decisions (OK or NOK). The goal is to ensure the most error-free and automated process possible.

The software captures all relevant production data, from battery identification via QR code to linking it to customer data. The data must be available in real time for both quality assurance and production decisions.

The following goals were a particular focus:

Speed: Real-time processing of production data

Flexibility: Adaptation to different conditions and machine types.

Stability: Reliable storage and processing of large amounts of data

Transparency: Intuitive user interface for production employees and shift supervisors.

Key milestones in the project:

Machine breakthrough: Machine data was received, processed, decisions made, stored and reported back

Integration of an entire production line: A complete line was successfully integrated

Configuration of all machine types: All machine types have been made configurable and selectable

Objectbay's approach

Agile partnership: Why Banner Batterien chose Objectbay

Following a thorough selection process, Banner Batteries chose Objectbay. Our agile approach was a key factor, as it allows for flexibility and iterative improvements. Given the dynamic project requirements, the ability to react quickly to new insights during implementation was essential.

Another advantage was the straightforward communication. The proposal was clearly defined, collaboration was effective from the outset, and the chemistry between the teams was excellent

Benefits

With the new battery database, Banner Batteries is ready for the demands of 2025 and beyond. The software is robust at full operation, and the experience gained will be used for future projects. The collaboration with Objectbay is characterized by expertise, a solution-oriented approach, and rapid adaptability – qualities that were crucial to the project's success.

The new battery database was successfully implemented and has brought numerous advantages:

Speed: The software easily processes the high quantities per minute.

Flexibility: Different lines and production conditions are easily integrated.

Stability: Reliable storage and processing

Transparency: Errors and their causes are clearly presented

Data preparation: Production data is centrally available and can be used for analyses
