Cellerate’s core technologies include automated cell assembly and sealing systems for coin and pouch cells, multi-layer pouch cell assembly platforms, UV (355 nm) and picosecond pulsed laser processing for electrode cutting and de-coating, integrated quality control with data capture, and modular automation frameworks. A design-of-experiments approach optimizes parameters like laser power and scan speed for defect minimization and high repeatability.
Products include the Cell Assembly & Sealing System for coin cells and single-layer pouch cells, and the Multi-Layer Pouch Cell Assembly System for advanced, adaptable cell formats. Features encompass precision laser processing, modular design for varied cell types, integrated data capture for traceability, and space-efficient automation platforms.
Between 2024 and 2025, Cellerate advanced laser-processing optimization (UV and picosecond systems reducing electrode cutting defects), developed scalable automation systems for lab-to-gigafactory transitions, and partnered with the University of Manchester and National Physical Laboratory on quality control protocols and scaling novel battery chemistries.
In 2024, the company secured £100K from NPIF – River & GC Microfinance, in partnership with GC Business Finance & River Capital, through the Northern Powerhouse Investment Fund.
