Between the Continuous Solid-Electrolyte Process and the Assembly Line: How Should the Buffer Interface Be Designed?
CIS's continuous-process pilot line for sulfide-based solid electrolyte at its Daegu Plant 3 (2–5 t/year, expanded from the existing batch process's 840 kg) and M Plus's order for six types of all-solid-state battery assembly equipment (targeting development/fabrication completion by end-2026) reveal a textbook interface problem: the production capacities of the upstream materials process and the downstream assembly process are not scaled up on the same timeline. This article estimates, as an assumed scenario, the buffer stock and takt-time loss required between these two processes, to quantitatively pin down why the materials-assembly interface design is a leading variable for the line's overall OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness). The downstream assembly equipment's target…

Solid Electrolyte and Aqueous Zinc Batteries: Investment Is Up — Is the Line Ready?
In August 2026, two domestic battery-material startups raised large investment rounds in quick succession. A solid-electrolyte specialist secured KRW 23.0 billion in a Series C round, and an aqueous zinc-ion battery company secured KRW 22.0 billion in a Series A round. Both companies handle materials whose process conditions differ from the conventional lithium-ion system, so from a shop-floor standpoint, the more important question is not the investment news itself but "what changes once this material actually reaches a mass-production line."
