Automation solutions for fuel cell manufacturing

As an experienced partner in industrial automation, we support fuel cell manufacturers in automating production processes to be economical, precise and scalable. Our modular system solutions cover all relevant process steps — from cell production through stacks to final testing — and can be adapted to different production volumes and quality requirements.

Modular system solutions for automated fuel cell stack production

Using the TEAMAXX platform as the basis, BBS Automation creates systems for high-precision assembly and end-of-line function testing of fuel cell stacks. The modular design of the TEAMAXX platform enables flexible adaptation to diverse production requirements and allows seamless integration into existing manufacturing environments. Our systems ensure consistently high product quality by combining advanced automation technology with precise process control. 

Advanced automation for demanding manufacturing processes

The careful handling of pliable components and precise alignment of the individual layers are particularly demanding processes in the industrial production of fuel cells. BBS Automation has mastered these processes and develops high-performance production systems in combination with trusted platforms for fuel cells of different construction types.
