In an exclusive conversation with The Interview World, Suraj Jadhav, Manager of Sales and Applications at Precitec, shares an insider’s view of their groundbreaking solutions. He highlights the diverse industries leveraging Precitec’s technology, underscores how these innovations enhance manufacturing quality and precision, and reveals the market size they are targeting. Here are the key insights from this compelling discussion.
Q: Can you provide a detailed overview of the key products and solutions offered by Precitec, including their unique features and applications?
A: Precitec is at the forefront of laser technology and 3D measurement solutions. We are dedicated to providing high-quality solutions for fuel cell manufacturing, meticulously addressing every stage—from battery foil measurement to final pouch inspection.
Our process begins with precisely measuring the total thickness of the battery foil. We then monitor foil thickness during critical steps, including cutting, calendaring, and cylindering. After filling the foil into the jelly bean, we assess weld quality following the application of the burst bar.
Throughout the entire manufacturing and packaging journey, we deploy an array of cutting-edge quality inspection sensors. This thorough approach ensures that we deliver exceptional products to our customers, meeting the highest standards of quality and reliability.
Q: What other industries, besides the automotive sector, are leveraging your technology, and how are they implementing it?
A: Absolutely. We serve a diverse array of applications across several dynamic industries. Our expertise spans the battery sector, consumer electronics, and the glass market. Moreover, we’re witnessing explosive growth in the semiconductor industry, particularly in sensor technology. We specialize in high-performance measurement sensors for packaging, advanced packaging solutions, and wafer inspection, ensuring we meet the evolving needs of our clients with precision and innovation.
Q: In what ways does your product enhance quality and precision in manufacturing, and can you share any specific examples or results?
A: Our technology harnesses the power of light, offering unparalleled accuracy. Our sensors achieve precision at sub-micron levels, measuring with an astounding resolution below one micron. By maintaining control over your processes within this sub-micron range, you guarantee that your final product consistently meets the highest standards of quality.
Q: What market size are you targeting for your products?
A: We are excited about the market potential in India, where we have recently established a presence. While Precitec has been a global leader for the past 50 years, our focus in India is on expanding our footprint in the semiconductor and battery sectors. We look forward to significant growth in these industries as we leverage our extensive expertise and innovative solutions.
