As the automotive industry rapidly transitions towards electrification, quality remains a non-negotiable cornerstone in ensuring performance, safety, and reliability.
Hyperbat is an experienced UK manufacturer of high-performance battery systems, specialising in battery system quality assurance for electric vehicles. Our commitment to excellence is demonstrated by adhering to the IATF 16949 standard and employing advanced manufacturing technologies like no-fault-forward systems.
The IATF accreditation not only validates our expertise and capabilities but also reinforces our promise to deliver excellence to our valued customers.
The importance of IATF 16949 in Hyperbat’s quality strategy: IATF 16949 is the globally recognised quality management standard for the automotive sector. It provides a structured framework for continuous improvement, defect prevention, and waste reduction throughout the supply chain. At Hyperbat, compliance with IATF 16949 is not just a certification requirement, it is embedded in the company’s DNA, ensuring that each battery system meets the highest industry standards.
By integrating IATF 16949 principles into our operations, Hyperbat ensures:
- Robust Quality Management Systems (QMS): Standardised processes drive consistency and efficiency across production lines.
- Defect prevention: A proactive approach minimises the risk of failures before they reach the customer.
- Customer satisfaction: By aligning with stringent quality expectations, Hyperbat reinforces its commitment to reliability and performance.
- Supplier excellence: Stringent supplier controls and audits ensure that components meet the necessary specifications.
No-fault-forward system guaranteeing first-time quality: Our advanced production control system ensures that manual assembly processes are completed correctly before moving to the next step. The no-fault-forward approach aligns seamlessly with the principles of IATF 16949, eliminating errors at the source and preventing defects from cascading through the production cycle.
The no-fault-forward systems reduces rework and gives Hyperbat’s customers confidence in the way we operate, via:
- Process control & verification: The system enforces predefined assembly sequences, preventing operators from skipping critical steps.
- Error-proofing (Poka-Yoke): The system detects incorrect operations in real time, prompting immediate corrective actions.
- Traceability & data collection: Each unit’s assembly history is logged, ensuring complete transparency and compliance with quality standards.
- Enhanced operator guidance: Step-by-step instructions reduce human error, improving both efficiency and accuracy.
By implementing this technology, Hyperbat ensures that every battery system leaving the production line meets the highest quality and safety benchmarks without internal failures or the need for rework. The data shared with customers results in complete transparency and confidence in our processes, alleviating any concerns around manual build steps.
Conformity of Production & homologation expertise: In addition to stringent quality control measures, Hyperbat is proficient in Conformity of Production (CoP) and homologation expertise. This ensures that all battery systems consistently meet regulatory requirements and industry standards for safety, durability, and performance.
Hyperbat’s CoP processes include rigorous validation, inspection, and testing protocols to guarantee product compliance before reaching the market. By mastering homologation procedures, we ensure seamless certification for automotive manufacturers, reinforcing our role as a reliable partner in the EV supply chain.
To meet customer requirements in broader EV sectors such as marine, aerospace and defence, Hyperbat is delivering strategic internal projects to continuously improve and translate our expertise for new markets.
Delivering quality, safety and performance for our customers: As a battery system manufacturer specialised in low-medium volume, Hyperbat stands at the forefront of quality assurance amongst its peers. Our adherence to IATF 16949 and advanced implementation of no-fault-forward systems reflects unwavering commitment to quality and innovation to ensure the delivery of safe and high-performance battery solutions.
