PACK line planning

BESS PACK line RFQ preparation guide

Minimum project information before discussing a module or PACK assembly line: cell format, output target, automation level, test gates, and delivery scope.

Document objective

What this file should help verify

Turn an early BESS PACK line inquiry into a scope that suppliers can evaluate without guessing cell format, automation level, test gates, or delivery boundary.

  1. Cell format, module structure, and takt-time inputs to prepare early.
  2. Testing gates and traceability expectations that affect line scope.
  3. Delivery boundary questions before comparing supplier offers.
Process checkpoints

Use the file to review these engineering decisions.

01

Start with cell size, module structure, target output, shift model, and the station list that must be included.

02

Define which test gates belong in the line: OCV, insulation, compression, EOL, labeling, MES linkage, and traceability export.

03

Confirm delivery country, layout constraints, FAT evidence, spare parts, installation support, and training expectations before comparing offers.

Buyer FAQ

Questions this template should answer.

Can a supplier quote without final drawings?

A budgetary range may be possible, but layout, fixture, takt time, and testing scope usually need drawings or a defined product structure.

Why does PPM change the quote so much?

PPM affects station count, buffer design, testing time, operator plan, and the acceptance method for the full line.
