Enovix’s Boar approves design of next-generation manufacturing line

Enovix’s Board of Directors approved the design of its next-generation manufacturing line – Gen2 Autoline -. The Gen2 Autoline is anticipated to increase battery manufacturing throughput by over 10x compared to the current throughput of the Gen1 line. The principal enhancements in the Gen2 Autoline involve increased levels of automation, parallelism, and in-line metrology. The approval of the Gen2 equipment purchase was contingent on the successful completion of proof of concept hardware modules that demonstrated basic functionality at each step in the process prior to Gen2 Autoline construction. This approval paves the way for Gen2 Autoline equipment vendors to finalize builds in order to hit the next major milestone of factory acceptance testing.
