Reliable Process Data Storage with One-Second Cycle Times: New Solution Proves Itself in Battery Production

In industrial manufacturing, every fraction of a second counts – especially in sensitive processes like battery production.

A new solution for capturing and processing process data is setting new standards: it combines speed, fail-safety, and flexible data handling in one system, specifically designed for demanding manufacturing environments.
Near Real-Time Data Capture and Storage

* The solution impresses with measurable performance:

- Data telegram captured and acknowledged by the tool: under 100 milliseconds

- Capture, acknowledgment, and storage in the database: within 1 second

- Additional completeness check including calculation and temporary storage: under 2 seconds

This makes the system ideal for applications with a cycle time of around one second – such as battery cell production, where every individual processing result must be documented and stored in a traceable manner. In a real-world use case, the telegram from the tool is not only captured and stored, but also serves immediately as a control point for completeness verification – a critical step for quality assurance in safety-relevant products.

* Scalable, Fail-Safe, and Vendor-Independent

Another highlight is the system’s high scalability: by integrating additional gateways, processing capacity can be flexibly adjusted to match production demand. Even under high load, performance remains stable.

An intelligent gateway process also ensures maximum fail-safety. If the database is temporarily unavailable, telegrams are temporarily buffered and automatically submitted later – without interrupting production.

* Open Architecture for Seamless Integration

The solution is vendor-independent and can be seamlessly integrated into existing infrastructures. A wide variety of machine types and controllers can be connected – ideal for heterogeneous production environments.

Thanks to the flexible data structure, a wide range of information – from measurement values and assembly data to metadata – can be bundled into a single telegram. Each connected system can individually define which contents are transmitted.

* Practical Innovation by CSP

The solution is offered by CSP GmbH & Co. KG, a well-established provider of software solutions for quality assurance in industrial manufacturing. With a strong focus on practical applications, CSP supports companies in optimizing their processes, increasing product quality, and reducing costs.
