The production facility known as the "MEB Smart Factory" was built specifically for the production of the all-electric MEB platform. MEB stands for Modular E-Drive System. For the Volkswagen Group, it is a reference factory for electric vehicles and a flagship for the global automotive industry around automation, smart production and digitalization. The level of automation at the MEB factory is up to 82 percent

In the factory, welding lines for battery trays are lined up with battery packaging lines. In addition, there are testing devices and logistics. Robots from KUKA weld and glue on the automated welding line for battery cases. They are also used in the packaging of the battery packs. There, robots from the KR QUANTEC, KR FORTEC and KR titan families work together to fully automate the packaging process.
