Production chain Decentralised, smart factory systems facilitate efficient production and generate regional value added.

Production and maintenance of the T-cell is undertaken in regional modules that comprise a central factory and multiple service facilities. The T-cell factory forms the core of a regional module. It consists of installation modules, which install outsourced parts, and workshop modules, in which in-house components are produced. The service facilities primarily fulfil the function of maintenance repair and installation of the machine on site.

Together with the Fraunhofer Institute for Ceramic Technologies and Systems, ten departments at Brandenburg University of Technology Cottbus-Senftenberg are working on this future-proof solution for the energy revolution and contributing this knowledge to the regional modules. A network of international suppliers delivers components and small parts to the regional T-cell modules.
