Kinetic Communication Launches Fully Automated EV Controller Line in Pune
Kinetic Communications Ltd., a leader in India’s EV technology sector, has made a significant leap in EV manufacturing. The company recently inaugurated its fully automated Motor Controller Unit (MCU) production line in Pune. This move strengthens Kinetic’s commitment to Industry 4.0, smart manufacturing, and the Make in India initiative.
A New Milestone in India’s EV Industry
The facility, launched on July 1st, 2025, is built for scale. It can produce 300 Motor Controller Units per shift. Running two shifts, it achieves an annual output of 180,000 units. This modern production line is a key step in enhancing India’s position in the global EV supply chain.
Powered by Industry 4.0 Smart Manufacturing
The production line is designed using the principles of Industry 4.0. It includes:
-
Surface Mount Technology (SMT)
-
Dual-frame PLC/HMI systems
-
Real-time data monitoring
These technologies enable fast, scalable, and error-free production. They also improve efficiency and product reliability.
End-to-End Quality Assurance with Zero-Defect Output
Kinetic has equipped the new line with a robust quality system, featuring:
-
Solder Paste Inspection (SPI)
-
Automated Optical Inspection (AOI)
-
In-Circuit Testing (ICT)
-
IP67-level functional verification
A key highlight is the Poka Yoke design. This error-proofing system ensures zero Parts Per Million (PPM) defects. It aligns with international quality standards in EV electronics manufacturing.
Smarter MCUs for Smarter Electric Vehicles
The Motor Controller Unit acts as the “brain” of an EV. It manages the power flow between the battery and motor. The advanced MCUs manufactured at the new plant include:
-
Regenerative Braking
-
Cruise Control
-
Reverse Assist
These features support the demand for intelligent, energy-efficient EV systems in both domestic and global markets.
Leadership Perspective
