The John Munck Award, established in 1988, is presented each year to reward the person or group of persons having produced the best innovative technical development contribution during the year.
This year the John Munck Award recognizes the development of a new way of sealing electric vehicle (EV) batteries.
The newly developed “Intelligent Dynamic Drop Application” improves corrosion protection, and increases automation and precision in the assembly of EV batteries, leading to higher productivity, quality and material savings.
The award goes to Sten Mittag, Patrick Repple and Claus Walter in the Industrial Assembly Solution Division, within the Industrial Technique Business Area, for developing a droplet application that provides a new way of sealing batteries, from constant stream to single drops.
