V-ONE Tech, an industrial artificial intelligence (AI) specialist, announced on October 7 that it has received new orders for two mass-production battery leak inspection units, which apply machine vision and its proprietary industrial AI platform 'with AI'. The equipment is set to be deployed at the North American production base of a global battery manufacturer, Company A, with local installation scheduled within the year.

The conventional helium (He) leak inspection method involves injecting helium gas into battery cells and checking for leaks, which results in continuous consumption of helium gas during operation. In contrast, V-ONE Tech's equipment enables leak inspection without the use of helium gas, and according to the company's internal estimates and applied conditions, it is expected to reduce operating costs by approximately 50% compared to the conventional inspection method.


Through this supply, V-ONE Tech aims to verify system stability, inspection performance, operational efficiency, and cost-saving effects in mass production environments. Based on the validation results, the company plans to expand the implementation of its solution to additional production bases and existing lines of the customer in the future.


Furthermore, the company intends to use this large-scale North American order as a key reference to further develop a business model for repeat implementation of the same inspection system across multiple production lines. By accumulating inspection technology and operational know-how gained from this new project as core assets, and reusing them for subsequent lines and other production bases, the company seeks to further enhance development and setup efficiency.


The company also anticipates that its leak inspection technology can be expanded beyond battery cells to automotive and electronic components, as well as a wide range of industrial components with welded or sealed structures. After verifying the technology's performance and operational stability on battery mass production lines, V-ONE Tech plans to broaden its applicability to other industrial sectors that require micro-level leak inspection.



V-ONE Tech CEO Kim Sunjung commented, "We will thoroughly validate safety, inspection performance, and operational efficiency at mass production sites in North America, and based on these results, we will expand repeated application to the following lines and other production bases for the same customer. Going forward, we will also broaden the application scope to automotive, electronics, and various industrial components requiring airtightness inspection."
