- ▸Reads CAD data and engineering drawings directly, translating structure and motion logic into visual sequences
Field Service Engineer — Overseas Commissioning & After-Sales
The engineer who travels to the customer's site. Commissions laboratory and pilot line equipment overseas — installation, electrical and pipework connection, whole-machine commissioning, process parameter validation, then training the customer's own technicians to run the line.
- ▸On-site delivery inCanada, Spain, Germany, South Korea, Brazil and Kazakhstan— adapting to each country's site regulations
- ▸Validated thedry powder electrode routeon a 60138 supercapacitor pilot line in Canada, through milling, film forming and lamination to finished cells
- ▸Goes beyond installation into process: diagnosed slurry preparation problems in Brazil, raised slot-die coating technique in South Korea, and improved mixing formulation on a polymer and cylindrical cell project
A Note on Verification
Patent numbers link to their official records on Google Patents. Published papers carry a DOI that resolves to the publisher. Professional certifications name the issuing body. Where a figure is quoted — a yield percentage, a defect rate, a line capacity — the employer and period are stated alongside it.
Former employers and customer programmes are named as they appear in each person's professional record. Prior work described here was performed at those companies and is presented as career history, not as a claim of current commercial relationship with TOB NEW ENERGY.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who are the battery equipment engineers behind TOB NEW ENERGY?
The engineering team is made up of eight named specialists: Founder & CEO Dany Huang, Co-Founder & Senior Engineer Tobey Chen, Marketing Director & Supply Chain Director Amy Wang, Technical Director Neil Zhao, Principal Engineers Science Wang and Pinery Gong, 3D Animation Designer Lin Jinglv, and Field Service Engineer Kevin Li. Together they cover the complete chain from cell materials to a running production line, through to on-site commissioning at the customer’s plant. Each profile on this page links to a full record of patents and projects.
How many patents does TOB NEW ENERGY hold?
As of September 2026 the team holds55 Chinese patentscovering battery manufacturing equipment, dry electrode processing, cathode materials and process environmental control — with more applications in progress. Patent numbers link to their official records on Google Patents.
Has TOB NEW ENERGY delivered turnkey battery lines outside China?
Yes. The team has delivered turnkey lines inEurope, Canada, Brazil, India and Indonesia, from R&D and pilot scale to multi-GWh production — including a 20 MWh pouch pilot line in Europe (2024), a dry-process supercapacitor pilot line in Canada (2023), and participation in a 4 GWh automated line covering both pouch and prismatic formats (2025).
Does TOB NEW ENERGY send engineers on site to install and commission the line?
Yes — this is Stage 07 of the team’s coverage. Field Service Engineer Kevin Li has been despatched to customer sites inCanada, Spain, Germany, South Korea, Brazil and Kazakhstansince 2019, along with further overseas commissioning assignments. On-site scope covers mechanical installation and assembly interfacing, electrical and pipework connection, whole-machine commissioning, process parameter validation, trial-run verification, acceptance handover, and training of the customer’s own technicians on operation and routine maintenance. The work extends into process where needed: diagnosing slurry preparation problems, improving mixing formulation, and teaching customers to calculate coating thickness from areal density and coat weight.
Which automotive programmes has the team worked on?
As career history at earlier employers, the engineers have worked on A123’s Formula 1 racing battery line, NIO’s 360 Wh/kg battery programme, SVOLT’s 4680 / 4690 / 4695 large-cylindrical development (with A-samples delivered to BMW), Daimler’s 0.5 GWh engineering line, and Volkswagen’s 590 mass-production programme. This prior work is presented as professional history and is not a claim of current commercial relationship with TOB NEW ENERGY.
Does TOB NEW ENERGY make dry electrode production equipment?
Yes. Dry-process electrode equipment is a core TOB patent area: the team holds a four-patent chain covering the complete dry electrode route from raw-material mixing to a full production line. Three consecutive stages — raw-material feeding (CN219193253U), film roll forming (CN218887233U) and lamination and stretching (CN218887274U) — are co-held by Dany Huang and Tobey Chen. See thefull patent listfor details.
What does a turnkey battery line from TOB NEW ENERGY cover?
A turnkey project covers the full chain rather than equipment supply alone: cell design and process route, machine specification and factory layout, FAT/SAT acceptance, export compliance and logistics, and on-site commissioning and handover. The same scope applies at R&D, pilot and production scale — from a 20 MWh pouch pilot line to a 4 GWh automated line.
Does the team handle cell design and process development, or only equipment supply?
Entrambi. Le fasi 01 e 02 del lavoro del team riguardano la progettazione delle celle e lo sviluppo del processo: sistemi catodici, chimica delle celle, densità energetica e progettazione della sicurezza, quindi percorsi di processo, finestre dei parametri, convalida DOE e PFMEA. Neil Zhao progetta i prodotti delle celle, i percorsi di processo e le linee di produzione complete, dal laboratorio alla produzione pilota fino alla produzione di massa; Science Wang si occupa dello sviluppo del processo e della qualità per materiali catodici, celle a sacchetto, prismatiche, a lama e a stato semisolido.
Il team può contribuire ad aumentare la resa produttiva di una linea di produzione esistente?
La fase di rendimento e di incremento della produzione rappresenta la Fase 4 del percorso del team. Nei loro risultati professionali, Pinery Gong ha ridotto la perdita di elettrolita dal 6% a 60 ppm e il rendimento del PACK dall'85% al 99%, mentre Science Wang ha aumentato il tasso di successo del rivestimento del catodo dal 70,56% al 97,5%, mantenendo la densità areale entro ±1%. Questi risultati sono stati ottenuti presso le aziende indicate in ciascuna pagina del profilo e sono presentati come storia professionale, non come garanzia di performance per un nuovo progetto.
Se state progettando una linea di laboratorio, una linea pilota o una linea di produzione, la discussione sulle specifiche inizia solitamente con la progettazione della cella e la produzione target, non con un elenco di macchine.
