Jarvis Signs Battery Inspection Equipment Supply Contract... "Related Sales to Accelerate"

[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunseok Yoo] X-ray inspection equipment specialist Jarvis is set to ramp up sales of battery inspection equipment.

On the 14th, Jarvis announced that it had signed a supply contract for battery inspection equipment worth 1.2 billion KRW. This amount corresponds to 10.1% of its 2020 sales, and the contract period runs until December 30. Due to confidentiality agreements, the contracting party will remain undisclosed until the contract ends.

Demand for Jarvis's battery inspection equipment is expected to continue growing. In particular, as manufacturers increasingly adopt LFP to strengthen battery competitiveness, batteries themselves are becoming thicker and larger to provide higher capacity. Jarvis's inspection equipment can handle various battery inspections by simply modifying the 'inspection equipment X-ray components' and 'algorithm software,' even as battery materials and specifications change. To meet the rising battery demand, Jarvis has started operations at its Dongtan manufacturing center, significantly increasing its production capacity to a maximum scale of 200 billion KRW.

Jarvis has succeeded in developing inline inspection equipment for cylindrical batteries capable of inspecting at a speed of 430 ppm. High inspection accuracy and fast speed are required for battery inspection equipment to be applied by battery manufacturers, and Jarvis's equipment meets both criteria. By expanding and strengthening its Battery Business Division, the company is broadening order opportunities through communication with domestic and international firms.

Additionally, the company is focusing on developing core technologies for X-ray inspection equipment. It is conducting R&D to analyze differences in X-ray transmission doses and images caused by changes in electric vehicle battery specifications and material components, and investing in improving the hardware and software quality of battery inspection equipment. To enhance productivity and inspection accuracy, AI is being applied, and research and development are being conducted through industry-academia collaboration, securing software competitiveness as well.

A Jarvis representative stated, "With global automakers leading the push for battery internalization, interest in our products, which can dramatically increase battery production speed, is expected to continue growing." He added, "We will focus on developing core inspection equipment technologies and expand order opportunities by communicating with related companies to achieve substantial sales growth."

Meanwhile, Jarvis supplies cylindrical battery inspection equipment to companies including LG Chem.
