Reliable manufacturing scale-up for Fortescue Zero

Agile ways of working to meet timescales and quality, exceeding customer expectations.

The programme

Battery system development, production and testing for an autonomous vehicle application.

Hyperbat supported DFMEA and led the development of the PFMEA and control plans to ensure production processes were reliable, robust and repeatable to an automotive standard.

The team designed, installed and commissioned the production line to manufacture 7 prototype packs a week, up to 70 modules a week, 576 cylindrical cells per module. This included the development of automated processes and full end of line test capability.

Hyperbat value add

Exceeding customer expectations

Agile and ways of working to manage design developments whilst meeting all cost, quality and delivery requirements for the DVP prototype build phases.

Quality embedded

Full traceability and digital conformance of no-fault-forward controls and monitoring data for every battery component.

In-house testing

Module and end-of-line functional performance testing within our in-house Battery Testing Facility.

"The project required close collaboration between manufacturing and engineering teams incorporating DFM into the design solution due to the challenging project milestones. The agility and technical support from the Hyperbat team was crucial in ensuring the programme could maintain deliveries to the end customer to support their vehicle build schedule."

Andrew Carlisle, Head of Mobility at Fortescue Zero
