Battery production in the greenfield – Rimac Technology relies on software iTAC.MOM.Suite

Production of battery modules and battery packs being realized with MOM system

Montabaur, January 23, 2025 – Rimac Technology, Croatia-based Tier-1 automotive supplier of battery, powertrain, and control systems is currently expanding its production capacities for a high-volume customer project. Additional production lines are being set up in Greenfield for this purpose in Zagreb, Croatia The iTAC.MOM.Suite plays a central role in this: The Manufacturing Operations Management (MOM) system from iTAC Software AG ensures that the production of battery modules and battery packs runs efficiently and transparently and meets the highest quality requirements and industry standards.

Batteries are made up of various chemical components and layers, carefully processed through a series of stages – from electrode production to cell assembly and final assembly. Each step requires precise attention to production conditions, as even minor inconsistencies can impact battery performance, reliability, and lifespan. Therefore, robust quality control and traceability systems are essential to ensure optimal safety and functionality.

Martina Raguž, IT Project Manager at Rimac Technology, explains :

Modern battery production is highly complex, requiring precision processes combined with high production speeds to meet growing demand.

“At the same time, it is subject to strict industry-specific quality standards. For our customer project, where we are currently setting up production lines, an MES/MOM system is indispensable. After a thorough 4-month selection process, we concluded that the iTAC.MOM.Suite meets all the technological requirements essential for the production of battery modules and packs. Additionally, we at Rimac Technology found iTAC’s transparency and reliability throughout the process to be invaluable qualities in a future partner.”

The iTAC.MOM.Suite production management system from iTAC enables the mapping, control and planning of the entire production process and ensures active traceability.

Diogo Oliveira, Sales Manager MOM EMEA at iTAC Software AG, says :

In the challenging production of battery cells, materials are used that are difficult to process and sometimes highly dangerous.

“To minimize risks and avoid errors, seamless traceability and comprehensive quality analyses are essential. This enables quality and performance characteristics as well as all standards and specific requirements to be met,”

Greenfield development – designed from scratch
A unique aspect of this project is that the shop floor at Rimac is a greenfield site, meaning this MES implementation is foundational, with no legacy systems or software to replace. This presents an opportunity to build the entire production infrastructure from scratch in a new, state-of-the-art environment. Without the need to integrate existing systems or make compromises in the IT architecture, the MES/MOM system can be precisely tailored to the specific demands of modern battery production at Rimac from the outset.

The go-live of the system for the battery pack production line is planned for mid-2025, with the module production line expected to follow shortly after.

Being a greenfield project makes this project even more innovative, creative, and challenging to implement. However, with the expertise of the Rimac Technology, project sponsorship by our COO Nurdin Pitarević, and the capabilities of the iTAC software—which has proven critical for us—we are well-prepared for possible future expansions, emphasizes Martina Raguž.
