What to Expect Tesla is re-thinking how batteries are made from the ground up.We'redesigning new factories, new equipment, newprocessesand new software to rapidly scale battery manufacturing, globally. The primary bottleneck to Tesla's future expansion (and the transition to sustainable transport and energy storage) is our ability to produce andprocurebatteries -that'swhywe'reinnovating in-house, with our collection of world-class engineers, to redefine the industry. Software,dataand automation all play a huge part in this strategy. We'vebuilt software from scratch with a nimble and high performing team to meet the specific needs of Tesla's rapid battery manufacturing scale up. This software tracks everycomponentof the cell manufacturing process and acts as the brain of the entire cell factory.It'skey to ensuring batteries are made safely and for understanding how to improve processes. This platform is the conduit for data coming from the line, and it is part of the goal to have more data about manufacturing, end to end, than any other company. The Cell Software teamis responsible forbuilding software solutions that allow the company to redefine manufacturing and production. We focus on implementing effective software advances, distributed fault-tolerant computing, and modern user- experience to manufacturing systems throughout Tesla. Our stack is built on top of Kubernetes, Kafka, Spark, MQTT, PostgreSQL, Redis, and other related platforms. We are not stuck in legacy systems.
