About DreamForce
DreamForce Intelligent is a provider of automation systems and turnkey solutions for the manufacturing of lithium-ion battery cells and battery packs. The portfolio includes individual machines, laboratory and pilot lines as well as complete production lines from electrode manufacturing (slurrying, mixing, coating, calendering, slitting) through cell assembly (winding/stacking, assembly) to formation & grading, including logistics systems and a proprietary MES. At the pack level, fully automatic lines for pouch, prismatic and cylindrical cells are offered, including module stacking, busbar assembly, welding processes and end-of-line testing. In addition, the company offers consultation, training, commissioning, repair, refurbishment/upgrade and spare parts. Target industries include the lithium-ion battery industry, e-mobility, energy storage, consumer electronics and automation technology. The group based in Leinfelden-Echterdingen (DF Automation Technology) operates locations in Germany, China, the USA and India.
