Manufacturing · Battery Pack Manufacturer Management Software

Cell grades, module builds, BMS firmware and cycle tests tied to each pack serial.

Each pack serial opens its own build. Cell lots, grading bins, spot weld records, module builds, battery management board firmware and charge curves sit in one system. Under that serial sit the 18650 or prismatic cells with their grades, the welder energy and the cycler curve, and a returned pack opens its build history. Quality staff compare a suspect cell lot with every pack that used it.

  • Pack types, cell grades, string layouts and test profiles keyed in as work proceeds
  • Open orders and cell stock loaded from the spreadsheets you use now
  • Grading limit and test field changes made by GullySystem staff when asked

Battery pack makers keep cell lots and grading, module builds, spot weld settings, BMS firmware, cycler tests, serials and returns together. Every pack lists the graded cells inside it and its capacity curve. A suspect cell lot returns every pack that used it, with customers and dispatch dates.

Where it breaks today

What goes wrong before the software.

Cell grading is not linked to pack builds

Grading never reaches the bench. The grader saves capacity, DC internal resistance and open-circuit voltage in a spreadsheet. Welders pick cells from trays by eye, so the link between one cell and its pack is never made.

Cells of different grades meet in a module

Grades get mixed. Trays of near-identical 18650 or prismatic cells are labelled by hand and shuffled between shifts, so a series string drifts out of balance and the pack loses range within a season.

Weld settings and pull tests are not stored

Weld facts vanish. Spot weld energy, nickel strip lot and pull-test samples are scribbled on a bench sheet. When a busbar joint runs hot in the field there is no welder, shift or machine to point at.

Management board firmware is loaded by habit

Firmware goes on by habit. The flashing station runs whichever hex file was loaded last, so a 13S parameter set can land on a 16S pack unnoticed. Support staff then guess at the cause of an over-voltage trip.

Test curves are not filed by serial

Curves lose their pack. Cycler channels log results by slot number, so a pack rerun on another channel breaks the link between result and serial, and the capacity printed on the certificate cannot be proven.

Returns arrive without context

Returns arrive blind. A pack comes back with a swollen pouch cell. With no cell lot, grade or cycle count in front of them, nobody can say whether the supplier, the welding or the customer’s charger is to blame.

How it runs

How the work flows through it, step by step.

  1. 1

    Order and pack type

    Start from the order. A buyer’s order names the pack type, nominal voltage, capacity and quantity, and the bill of materials lists cells, nickel strip, busbars, BMS board, housing, fuse and sense harness.

  2. 2

    Cell receiving and grading

    Grade every cell. Cells arrive by supplier lot with the datasheet and certificate, each one is measured for capacity and resistance and sorted into a bin, and the result is saved against the lot.

  3. 3

    Module building

    Cells of one grade are arranged in the series and parallel layout and then welded. The module record names the cells, the welder, the energy settings and the strip lot behind each joint.

  4. 4

    Pack assembly

    A BMS board is fitted and flashed with firmware and cell count parameters. Modules then go into the housing with fuses, balance leads and connectors, and the version loaded is logged.

  5. 5

    Charge and discharge

    Cycle each pack. Charge and discharge run on a cycler channel, and the capacity, voltage curve and protection trips are saved against the serial, while any pack outside its limits is held.

  6. 6

    Labelling and dispatch

    Passing packs receive a serial label and are packed against the order. Your safety officer prepares the transport paperwork from the packing list, using the weights and serials it carries.

Modules

What is inside.

Every module can be switched on, left out or changed to match how your team already works.

Pack type master and bills of materials

A pack type carries its cell model, series and parallel arrangement, BMS board, housing, fuses and label, plus the earlier revisions of that list.

Cell lot receiving

Log cells by supplier lot with certificate, storage condition and quantity. A lot placed on hold, say for a crushed carton or a leaking pouch, is blocked from issue until quality staff release it.

Cell grading and sorting

Save voltage, capacity and internal resistance per cell, apply the grade limits your engineers set, and print bin labels for the trays that go to the welding bench.

Module build and weld records

Record the cells in each module, the welder, spot weld energy, nickel strip lot and pull-test samples. A weak pull test holds the module before it can reach a pack on the assembly line.

BMS firmware and parameters

Store approved firmware and parameter sets per pack type, with cell count, cut-off voltages and current thresholds, and log which version each board received.

Pack assembly stations

Track housing, fuse, busbar bolt torque, balance lead and label fit by station, with the operator and the torque wrench reading where one is used.

Cycle test channels

Link each cycler channel to a pack serial and save capacity, voltage curve and protection trips. Any result outside its limits raises a flag for the test engineer to review before dispatch.

Quarantine and rework

Hold a pack or cell lot under a stated reason, then record rework, regrading or scrap and who approved the decision.

Returns and failure analysis

Log a return with the fault, the failing cell and whether its lot is suspect, and the pack’s whole build history opens beside it for the failure analyst.

Serials, labels and packing lists

Print pack serials and carton labels, build packing lists by serial, and prepare the delivery note for each order from the same record.

Solutions inside

The business modules it is built from.

Each one is also available on its own, or inside a system built for you.

  • Bill of Materials

    Each pack type lists its cell format, series and parallel layout, BMS board, housing and fuses, and a change is saved as a new revision.

  • Batch and Serial Tracking

    Cells are received by supplier lot and graded one by one, so a pack serial can name the lot and the bin behind every cell.

  • Quality Control

    Spot weld energy and pull-test samples are saved per module, and a result outside its limit holds the module before it reaches a pack.

  • Work Order Management

    A work order releases a kit of modules, BMS boards and housings for a stated number of packs, and shows any shortfall to the stores.

  • Production Planning

    Cycler channels are scheduled from open work orders, and a channel that falls free is offered to the next pack waiting in the queue.

  • Ticket Management

    A returned pack opens a ticket with its fault and the failing cell, and the same record shows the pack’s whole build history.

  • Barcodes and Labels

    Pack serials and carton labels print from the record, and scanning them at dispatch confirms that the right pack goes against the right order.

  • Order Management

    Customer orders hold pack type and quantity, and the open balance falls as packed serials are dispatched against them from the line.

Services

How we would put it in.

Setup, data migration, integrations and anything built on top.

Who uses it

One system, each person sees their part.

For the plant head

Read cells graded, packs on the cyclers, returns and orders due from one screen, with lots on hold listed beside them.

For grading and welding teams

Record cell grades, bin trays and weld settings for each module. Welders see which tray feeds which module, so a mismatched bin never reaches the bench during a rushed shift.

For test engineers

Maintain firmware, grading limits and cycle profiles, then review results by serial. A pack run twice gives two records, and neither overwrites the other.

For quality staff

Hold suspect lots, review returns and trace packs back to the cells inside them. Weld pull-test results sit one click away from the pack record.

For stores and dispatch

Cell lots come in against the supplier certificate, and modules, BMS boards and housings go out to each work order in the quantity it needs. Finished packs leave against the customer order.

Honest answer

When it is not the right choice.

Made to fit

Adapted to your business before it goes live.

You are not handed a login and left to it. The product is set up around your records, your people and the tools you already use.

Pack types and layouts

Series and parallel layouts, cell formats, busbar patterns and housings are entered for each pack you build, from a 4S power tool pack to a rack module.

Grading limits

Capacity, resistance and voltage limits for each grade follow what your engineers decide, and the demo shows them on your own cell data.

Cycle test profiles

Charge and discharge currents, rest periods and pass limits are stored per pack type, so a channel loads the right profile for the serial scanned.

Open orders and cell stock migrated

Open orders, cell stock and grading files come across from your workbooks and are counted against the shelf before the first pack is built.

Safety and transport rules

Hold, quarantine and shipping rules follow what your safety officer and regulatory adviser tell you, are entered once, and are shown in the demo before go-live.

Common questions

Questions owners ask before a demo.

How does a pack serial link to its cells?

Module records list the graded cells used, and the pack record lists its modules, so one serial opens the cells, their supplier lots and their grades behind it.

Can the grader’s files be imported?

A file import from the grader can be built as extra work. The column layout is agreed with your test engineer in the first workshop, before any file is loaded.

What happens to a cell lot placed on hold?

It is blocked from issue, and the packs that already used it are listed so quality staff can decide what happens next.

Can different chemistries run together?

Yes. Lithium iron phosphate and nickel manganese cobalt types each keep their own cell, grading limits and test profile. They sit in one system without mixing.

Are cycle test curves stored?

Capacity, voltage curve and protection trips are saved against the serial. A retest on another channel is added as a new run and never overwrites the first result.

How are weld checks recorded?

Spot weld settings, strip lot and pull-test samples are saved per module, with the welder and the date, so a weak joint traces to a shift and a machine.

Does it cover transport documents?

It holds the packing lists, serials and gross weights that such documents need. What the hazard class and the carrier demand is for your safety officer to decide.

Can a customer ask for a build report?

A serial report shows cells, grades, firmware and test results. Whether it meets a customer’s own requirements is for your quality staff to confirm.

Who owns the pack data?

You do. Before work starts, the proposal states how build and test records can be taken out of the system.

What does it cost?

No price is published, since it depends on cycler channels, lines and users. A demo using a pack type of your own comes first.
