Semcon, PowerCell use vision technology for fuel cell efficiency

Automotive company Semcon and fuel cell maker PowerCell are developing a robotic cell using vision technology, as part of a project to streamline fuel cell production and improve cell efficiency. The robotic cell will automate a section of the production process which needs a high level of precision, said Semcon technical project manager, Thomas Lydhig, adding that the advanced vision technology will ensure accuracy and quality. The cell, which uses QR codes for traceability, will begin operating at the end of 2020.

Semcon, PowerCell collaborate on green fuel cells

Semcon and fuel cell manufacturer PowerCell are developing a new robotic cell with the use of vision technology that will streamline the production of fuel cells for the vehicles of the future.

The Swedish automotive industry company said it has been engaged to develop and deploy an entirely new robotic cell for testing new fuel cell production technology with the aim of making the fuel cells more efficient.

“This new robotic cell will fully automate part of the production flow, which requires high precision,” said Thomas Lydhig, Technical Project Manager at Semcon.
