El fabricante de sistemas de bater\u00edas Akasol encarg\u00f3 a la empresa alemana Woll Maschinenbau el desarrollo y suministro de sistemas de producci\u00f3n altamente automatizados. A partir de mediados de 2021, los nuevos sistemas de bater\u00edas del tipo AKASystem AKM CYC se fabricar\u00e1n en Darmstadt.<\/p>\n
El volumen total de inversi\u00f3n para el pedido se sit\u00faa en el rango bajo de los dos d\u00edgitos de millones de euros e incluye la opci\u00f3n de m\u00e1s l\u00edneas de producci\u00f3n en el emplazamiento estadounidense de Akasol en Hazel Park, Michigan (EE.UU.), as\u00ed como la posterior ampliaci\u00f3n de la planta de producci\u00f3n de Darmstadt (Alemania) a la que Akasol se refiere como su propia \"Gigafactor\u00eda 1\".<\/p>\n
A principios de febrero, Akasol encarg\u00f3 tambi\u00e9n a la empresa de ingenier\u00eda mec\u00e1nica Manz, de Reutlingen (Alemania), la construcci\u00f3n de l\u00edneas de producci\u00f3n totalmente automatizadas. Mientras que Manz proporcionar\u00e1 la equipos para producir m\u00f3dulos de bater\u00edas<\/a>, Woll suministrar\u00e1 m\u00e1quinas especiales que unen diez de estos m\u00f3dulos para formar un sistema de bater\u00edas. \"Aumentar continuamente el grado de automatizaci\u00f3n en la producci\u00f3n en serie es de gran importancia para permitirnos satisfacer la creciente demanda de nuestros clientes de sistemas de bater\u00edas de alta energ\u00eda listos para la producci\u00f3n\", afirma el jefe de Akasol, Sven Schulz. \"Con el nuevo equipo, estaremos en condiciones de aumentar nuestra capacidad de producci\u00f3n en Gigafactory 1 en Darmstadt hasta 5 GWh\". Esto coloca a la empresa en una buena posici\u00f3n para entregar las cantidades acordadas con los clientes actuales en los pr\u00f3ximos a\u00f1os.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" El fabricante de sistemas de bater\u00edas Akasol encarg\u00f3 a la empresa alemana Woll Maschinenbau el desarrollo y suministro de sistemas de producci\u00f3n altamente automatizados.

According to the Darmstadt-based company, the battery solutions that weigh around 500 kilograms and store 100 kWh could be produced at a rate of up to 70 units every day. The production line should be flexible enough to be able to build “customer-specific products of the same battery system type”. According to Akasol, a further acceleration of the production is quite possible: with further investments in automation solutions, the cycle time can be reduced to up to 10 minutes per battery system, Schulz says. “As a result, we have the potential to raise output to as high as 126 systems per day, for a storage capacity of 12.5 MWh per day”.<\/p>\n According to the company, Akasol’s ‘Gigafactory 1’ also has sufficient space to install a second line of the same type there. As a result, the production capacity at the Darmstadt site could be expanded by up to 5 GWh per year in the future. Schulz says, “With Gigafactory 1 in Darmstadt, Akasol will have by far the largest commercial vehicle battery system production capacity in Europe”.<\/p>\n The Darmstadt plant also forms the basis for the further expansion of capacity in North America, where Akasol plans to start operating the “Gigafactory 2” with almost identical production equipment from early 2022. At the Langen site in Germany \u2013 just north of the company’s headquarters \u2013 Akasol had already increased production capacity to up to 800 MWh in March by commissioning a second production line<\/a>. With the construction of the plant in Darmstadt, the manufacturer is further increasing capacity in view of “follow-up orders from long-standing series customers”. In September 2019, Akasol received a follow-up order from an existing commercial vehicle customer, among others, which is expected to be “in the high three-digit million euro range”. This is likely to be Volvo.<\/p>\n
