Ann: New York Lithium-ion Battery Plant Update, page-79

Sure, This is semi-automation.
It's when the production machines are in place, when the drying room is commissioned, when the hoppers are charged with some raw materials.
Then the physical process of making a battery or set of batteries (already defined and mapped process) is followed, but slowly and with constant monitoring. Some steps require special intervention, maybe extra checks but the process takes the raw materials from a production ready place and moves those through a series of machines set up for full production. The final product is a smaller number of finished units.. This is not what im3ny have done and not what they are capable of doing. They are nowhere near this stage (imo). It's smoke and mirrors.
