NISSAN BATTERY PLANT

Car & Truck Cockpit Module & Front End Module Sub-Assembly Lines
Smyrna, Tennessee Assembly Plant

ICSI was commissioned to design and build a mock assembly line for the Nissan battery plant in Smyrna, TN. This is the facility which manufactures the lithium-ion batteries used in Nissan’s new electric cars. The training system utilized over-the-counter 9 volt batteries to represent assembled car batteries.

The completed system included: three robots; two computerized camera inspection systems; several sensors & safety systems, etc., all set up for new technicians to train on. Briefly explained, the Nissan trainers will disconnect or interrupt selected circuits inside some lockable junction boxes we installed, and then have the new technicians try to trace down and pinpoint the problems.
