Jonas & Redmann has fully moved into its new headquarters in Berlin. The company opened the new headquarters on November 20, 2020. Barbro Dreher, State Secretary of the Senate Department for Economics, Energy and Public Enterprises, Oliver Igel, Mayor of Treptow-Köpenick, Dr. Stefan Franzke, Managing Director of Berlin Partner GmbH, and representatives of the companies and banks involved in the project congratulated Stefan Jonas & Lutz Redmann on this milestone.
The Berlin-based mechanical engineering company Jonas & Redmann has set up its headquarters in the Berlin Brandenburg airport region. The newly built production and office space is located on a 23,000 square metre site in the Berlin district of Treptow-Köpenick, Johannistal. The location was officially opened on November 20, 2020. Production had already started in July 2020 on 8,000 square metres of hall space.
Jonas & Redmann has invested 25 million euros in a new company headquarters with production halls. The building project was accepted on schedule in October 2020. Exactly one week before the company’s 31st anniversary, on 20 November 2020, the new headquarters of the Jonas & Redmann Group will be officially opened. The entire staff, 400 employees, have moved into their new workplaces.
In future, the company’s skilled workers will work at Segelfliegerdamm 65 in buildings which are optimally designed for the development and production of equipment for high-tech industries – such as medical technology, photovoltaics and energy storage technology. The company’s development and engineering departments are now efficiently linked to the production and storage areas. The building is tailored in every respect to the requirements of modern industrial production.
Barbro Dreher, State Secretary of the Senate Department for Economics, Energy and Public Enterprises: “The inauguration of the new company headquarters is good news not only for the company but also for Berlin as a business location. Our city needs this entrepreneurial spirit even in the crisis. Therefore we, as the State of Berlin, will continue to ensure good framework conditions”.
The managing directors and owners, Stefan Jonas and Lutz Redmann, have had construction company Goldbeck build a complete infrastructure. The costs and deadlines were maintained throughout the entire project. The production halls and the administration building were supplemented, for example, by a multi-storey car park, secured and roofed bicycle boxes and charging stations for electric vehicles.
The buildings are designed to meet high standards of energy efficiency and sustainability – heating is provided by district heating from efficient combined heat and power generation, the electricity consumed is consistently green, i.e. it is obtained from renewable energy sources, and intensive greening of the large hall and office roofs makes an additional contribution to the positive ecological balance.
Lutz Redmann, Co-Managing Director Jonas & Redmann Group GmbH: “Jonas & Redmann is the expert when it comes to fully automated processes and interlinking tools in high-tech industries. The region around our location is booming and we too are optimistic about the coming year”.
So the location itself is a plus point. Jonas & Redmann is internationally active. The new company address offers an excellent environment. Jonas & Redmann sees the proximity to the Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER) “Willy Brandt”, the neighbouring companies in the Adlershof Technology Park and, last but not least, the settlement of the electric car manufacturer Tesla in nearby Grünheide as plus points.
Stefan Jonas, Co-Managing Director Jonas & Redmann Group GmbH: „We have decided on a promising location. And from the very first day, the working environment for our skilled workers is fully improved”

The production and assembly of machines in the new halls will start in July. The office building will be completed and occupied in early autumn.
The newly constructed buildings are tailored in every respect to the requirements of industrial production and to the fact that more than 400 employees will work there. The building owners, Stefan Jonas and Lutz Redmann, are creating a complete infrastructure. The production halls and the administration building are supplemented, for example, by a multi-storey car park, secure and covered bike storage boxes as well as charging stations for electric vehicles.
Lutz Redmann, Co-Managing Director of Jonas & Redmann Group GmbH: “In high-tech industries, Jonas & Redmann stands for perfectly dovetailed, fully automated processes. In future, our work processes will run just as smoothly as our machines. We will develop and produce our technologies more efficiently. This will benefit both our employees and our clients.”
The buildings are designed to achieve high energy efficiency and sustainability standards – heating is provided by district heating from efficient combined heat and power generation, the electricity consumed is consistently green, i.e. is obtained from renewable energy sources, and intensive greening of the large hall and office roofs makes an additional contribution to the positive ecological balance.
The aim is to continue securing the future of the family business for the next generation. By building its own company and production facilities, the company will no longer be dependent on Berlin’s very dynamic real estate market. A plus point is the location itself. Jonas & Redmann generates a significant proportion of its sales outside Germany, and it does this in research- and development-intensive industries. With a view to the machine manufacturer’s international high-tech business, the new company address on Segelfliegerdamm offers excellent conditions. The Berlin Brandenburg Airport Region, with Adlershof Technology Park and other technology clusters, is one of the most developing economic areas in Europe. With the Berlin Brandenburg “Willy Brandt” Airport (BER), a European air traffic hub is also being created in the immediate vicinity of the new company headquarters.
Stefan Jonas, Co-Managing Director of Jonas & Redmann Group GmbH: “We’ve opted for a company location with a promising future. And the working environment for our skilled personnel will completely improve right from day one. The offices are bright and much more spacious. Communication problems due to large spatial distances will no longer exist in future. Personally, I’m particularly delighted that in future a company cafeteria will be available to our team that has a large, green outdoor area. Meeting there and spending breaks together will instil new energy, especially during stressful phases.”

When the Berlin Wall fell in the historic year of 1989, two engineers, Stefan Jonas and Lutz Redmann, decided to create their first company in Neukölln – Jonas & Redmann Automationstechnik GmbH.
Jonas & Redmann has been developing and producing machines and systems for research and development-intensive sectors such as medical technology, photovoltaics (since 1999) and energy storage (since 2009). The company also operates in the cross-sector field of assembly automation. Thanks to a pioneering spirit in technology, this mechanical engineering firm was able to drive innovation in high-tech areas through numerous collaborations and open up new markets.
In 1989 the fledgling company received its first orders from the medical technology and textile industry. Jonas & Redmann applied for its first patent in 1991. Ten years after its founding, in 1999, the company entered the crystalline photovoltaic business and established its photovoltaics division. In 2001, for example, Jonas & Redmann automated complicated handling steps in the production of solar cells for the first time, setting standards worldwide. In 2002 the company created the first automated assembly lines, which enabled integration of the entire value chain in the crystalline silicon solar cell sector, and in 2005 it interlinked an entire solar cell factory, which is considered a milestone in intelligent material logistics. In 2008 JRT Photovoltaics was founded as part of the Jonas & Redmann Group, and the JRT metallization line was introduced to the market. In 2009 Jonas & Redmann created subsidiaries in Taiwan and the United States before entering the energy storage sector in 2010 and founding the Jonas & Redmann China Co. Ltd in 2011. In 2015 Jonas & Redmann built a fully-automated manufacturing line for the mass production of lithium-ion batteries – an important step in the electromobility industry of the future. The company also got involved in the automotive sector and has built several fully-automated manufacturing lines for leading automotive suppliers since 2016. In 2019, the company developed an assembly line for the production of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC).
In the future Jonas & Redmann would like to harness further potential in technological development and views Berlin and Germany as an excellent environment for this. Jonas & Redmann remains fully committed to Berlin and is currently building its new headquarters in the Adlershof Technology Park in the German capital. The new building marks a milestone in our company’s history. When we move into the building in 2020, we will be much better equipped to meet the production engineering challenges of tomorrow, especially in large-scale projects, and the demands of modern production. The relocation plan was based on close cooperation between the development and manufacturing divisions.
Jonas & Redmann’s highly productive automated wafer handling for diffusion and annealing – WHD HTP – was awarded at SNEC 2019 at the “Top 10 Highlights Award”.
WHD HTP performs a highly productive loading and unloading of all types of batch diffusion or annealing process equipment. Distinguished by an outstanding productivity, the fully automatic machine realizes a super high throughput of more than 18,000 wafer per hour – for example in PERC or TOPcon cell production.
While grid parity is being approached, the demand of the photovoltaics industry concentrates on high-efficiency products to reduce the LCOE. Operating high precision- and high quality production equipment, in combination with state-of-the-art cell structures, continuously improves production of scale and thus maximises the power of PV modules.
The SNEC “Top 10 Highlights” selection event is a top-class part of this exhibition. Contibuting to this years claim “FOR THE EARTH”, the most advanced technologies to produce renewable energy were awarded.
SNEC – Automated Wafer- and Trayhandling for the highly efficient production of heterojunction (HJT) solar cells with competitive potential on the global market
Berlin-based special machine manufacturer Jonas & Redmann presents the HJT TRAY AUTOMATION at the trade fair SNEC 2019 from June 4-6 in Shanghai, China. The modular platform is designed for the automation of inline process machines in the production of heterojunction (HJT) solar cells. Visit us at booth 575 in hall N3.
Level of innovation
The proven, modular tray automation system was adapted for the demanding production of highly efficient heterojunction (HJT) solar cells. Outstanding innovation is the particularly surface-friendly, yet high-performance handling of wafers in inline flat-carrier transport. This involves high-precision, row-by-row positioning of the wafers which are individually measured. Any deviations from the target dimensions are automatically compensated for. During the measurement and compensation process, the measurement system takes temperature-dependent length extension of the trays in to account as well.
Standardized interfaces to exchange process data from the automation, which is thoroughly based on industrial PCs, with overlaid manufacturing execution systems (MES) have also been implemented. This fulfills requirements for consistent workflow tracking and optimization, in keeping with the concept of Industry 4.0, without requiring additional effort.
Solution efficiency
The solution boasts high-precision handling of thin wafers (120-160 µm) at elevated temperatures of over 200°C and in a controlled atmosphere (nitrogen). This is made possible by an innovative gripper and transport system and by integrated, comprehensive measurement systems.
Best-in-class camera system technology ensures precise wafer alignment and optimum wafer position into tray pockets. The HJT TRAY AUTOMATION System thus guarantees perfect conditions for efficient processing. The platform provides camera-based breakage control and discharge of defective wafers and allows an easy integration of customized measurement needs (thickness, color). Comprehensive sensors record temperature, nitrogen concentration, and humidity within and partly outside the working space.
Solution sustainability
The solution incorporates gentle wafer handling during gripping and placement onto tray pockets, as well as transport onto special conveyor belts – these features minimize surface damage. This in turn contributes toward a lasting high level of efficiency for the processed heterojunction cells up to 24% cell efficiency. The modular system concept can be customized to suit any process technology. Proven modules and functions ensure short development times, lastingly reliable operation, a long service life, and, as a result, maximum investment security.
Commercial success
The Jonas & Redmann TRAY AUTOMATION systems have already been installed to deliver throughputs of up to 6,500 wafers per hour. As part of a current project, it ensures safe supply under all circumstances when PECVD process equipment is deployed at a rate of at least 2,600 wafers per hour. Row-by-row pick-up and placement of incoming and outgoing wafers (unprocessed, partially processed, and fully processed) helps shorten cycle times.
We’re looking forward meeting you at SNEC. Please contact us to receive your personal voucher or to place any queries concerning our heterojunction technologies.
The successful installation of a cell tester by Berlin-based custom machine manufacturer Jonas & Redmann facilitates flexible electrical and optical characterization of solar cells at the PV-TEC Photovoltaic Technology Evaluation Center. Opened as a research factory for solar cells twelve years ago, the PV-TEC industrial laboratory is an important player in the piloting of crystalline silicon solar cells, thus helping to close the gap between research and industry.
From a production technology perspective, a research line such as Fraunhofer ISE’s PV-TEC – with its high level of product diversity and relatively low batch sizes – has special requirements for a cell tester. Measurement of a wide range of cell designs and formats is just as important as the integration of measurement systems from different manufacturers, sometimes also in retrospect or only temporarily. Jonas & Redmann developed a highly flexible cell tester to meet these needs. Alexander Krieg, Research Associate at the Inline Solar Cell Analysis and Simulation group at Fraunhofer ISE, who was involved with the project from the beginning, said: “The cell tester for the Fraunhofer ISE Photovoltaic Technology Evaluation Center is the only measurement platform of its kind in the world today. It was developed for electrical and optical characterization of solar cells and is the result of close cooperation with our partner Jonas & Redmann. The highly flexible system currently unifies 13 measurement systems from leading manufacturers in the photovoltaics industry, while meeting the special requirements for operation in a research environment.” The cell tester guarantees extremely gentle solar cell transport and offers a comprehensive technical solution for the inspection of different cell designs. In addition to standard solar cells, the platform can also reliably characterize back contact, bifacial, busbarless, and half-cut solar cells. Developed specifically for use in the research field, the following technical features highlight how the cell tester enables flexible use cases at the Fraunhofer industrial laboratory:
Repeat measurements in case of error, multiple measurements
Optical inspection of both front and rear sides of the cell in a single pass on one conveyor system through automatic cell flipping
Implementation of different material flows, such as carrier-carrier or carrier-box operation, or manual loading to process special formats
Height-adjustable carrier loading and unloading positions in automatic mode, to support processing of curved cells
The integration of a rotary indexing table and uncovered rear side of the solar cell allows bifacial performance measurement (with simultaneous illumination of front and rear sides). This facilitates the detailed characterization of bifacial solar cells under realistic conditions. In addition to standard contact units consisting of two to six measurement bars, it is also possible to integrate special contact units for back contact and busbarless solar cells. This makes automatic measurement of the characteristic curve of these solar cell types possible. Specific measurement results can be assigned to individual solar cells through a wafer tracking system in combination with a data matrix code scanner. Data exchange between the measurement systems guarantees detailed and precise characterization of the solar cells. A combined electrical and photoluminescence measurement system automates advanced loss analysis methodologies. Integration of a high-precision linear axis to ensure low-vibration transport of the solar cells facilitates high resolution 2D and 3D print inspection with an optical resolution of 10 µm/pixel. Dr. Stefan Rein, Head of Quality Assurance, Characterization and Simulation at Fraunhofer ISE, emphasized: “This highly flexible and future-oriented measurement machine was only possible thanks to the committed cooperation and creativity of the Jonas & Redmann engineers. They were successfully able to translate the specific requirements of ISE scientists into high-performance and standards-compliant solutions. A number of interesting ideas for expansion have already been put forward.”

In 2001, for example, Jonas & Redmann automated complicated handling steps in the production of solar cells for the first time, setting standards worldwide. In 2002 the company created the first automated assembly lines, which enabled integration of the entire value chain in the crystalline silicon solar cell sector, and in 2005 it interlinked an entire solar cell factory, which is considered a milestone in intelligent material logistics. In 2008 JRT Photovoltaics was founded as part of the Jonas & Redmann Group, and the JRT metallization line was introduced to the market. In 2009 Jonas & Redmann created subsidiaries in Taiwan and the United States before entering the energy storage sector in 2010 and founding the Jonas & Redmann China Co. Ltd in 2011. In 2015 Jonas & Redmann built a fully-automated manufacturing line for the mass production of lithium-ion batteries – an important step in the electromobility industry of the future. The company also got involved in the automotive sector and has built several fully-automated manufacturing lines for leading automotive suppliers since 2016. In 2019, the company developed an assembly line for the production of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC).
In the future Jonas & Redmann would like to harness further potential in technological development and views Berlin and Germany as an excellent environment for this. Jonas & Redmann remains fully committed to Berlin and is currently building its new headquarters in the Adlershof Technology Park in the German capital. The new building marks a milestone in our company’s history. When we move into the building in 2020, we will be much better equipped to meet the production engineering challenges of tomorrow, especially in large-scale projects, and the demands of modern production. The relocation plan was based on close cooperation between the development and manufacturing divisions.
Jonas & Redmann’s highly productive automated wafer handling for diffusion and annealing – WHD HTP – was awarded at SNEC 2019 at the “Top 10 Highlights Award”.
WHD HTP performs a highly productive loading and unloading of all types of batch diffusion or annealing process equipment. Distinguished by an outstanding productivity, the fully automatic machine realizes a super high throughput of more than 18,000 wafer per hour – for example in PERC or TOPcon cell production.
While grid parity is being approached, the demand of the photovoltaics industry concentrates on high-efficiency products to reduce the LCOE. Operating high precision- and high quality production equipment, in combination with state-of-the-art cell structures, continuously improves production of scale and thus maximises the power of PV modules.
The SNEC “Top 10 Highlights” selection event is a top-class part of this exhibition. Contibuting to this years claim “FOR THE EARTH”, the most advanced technologies to produce renewable energy were awarded.
SNEC – Automated Wafer- and Trayhandling for the highly efficient production of heterojunction (HJT) solar cells with competitive potential on the global market
Berlin-based special machine manufacturer Jonas & Redmann presents the HJT TRAY AUTOMATION at the trade fair SNEC 2019 from June 4-6 in Shanghai, China. The modular platform is designed for the automation of inline process machines in the production of heterojunction (HJT) solar cells. Visit us at booth 575 in hall N3.
Level of innovation
The proven, modular tray automation system was adapted for the demanding production of highly efficient heterojunction (HJT) solar cells. Outstanding innovation is the particularly surface-friendly, yet high-performance handling of wafers in inline flat-carrier transport. This involves high-precision, row-by-row positioning of the wafers which are individually measured. Any deviations from the target dimensions are automatically compensated for. During the measurement and compensation process, the measurement system takes temperature-dependent length extension of the trays in to account as well.
Standardized interfaces to exchange process data from the automation, which is thoroughly based on industrial PCs, with overlaid manufacturing execution systems (MES) have also been implemented. This fulfills requirements for consistent workflow tracking and optimization, in keeping with the concept of Industry 4.0, without requiring additional effort.
Solution efficiency
The solution boasts high-precision handling of thin wafers (120-160 µm) at elevated temperatures of over 200°C and in a controlled atmosphere (nitrogen). This is made possible by an innovative gripper and transport system and by integrated, comprehensive measurement systems.
Best-in-class camera system technology ensures precise wafer alignment and optimum wafer position into tray pockets. The HJT TRAY AUTOMATION System thus guarantees perfect conditions for efficient processing. The platform provides camera-based breakage control and discharge of defective wafers and allows an easy integration of customized measurement needs (thickness, color). Comprehensive sensors record temperature, nitrogen concentration, and humidity within and partly outside the working space.
Solution sustainability
The solution incorporates gentle wafer handling during gripping and placement onto tray pockets, as well as transport onto special conveyor belts – these features minimize surface damage. This in turn contributes toward a lasting high level of efficiency for the processed heterojunction cells up to 24% cell efficiency. The modular system concept can be customized to suit any process technology. Proven modules and functions ensure short development times, lastingly reliable operation, a long service life, and, as a result, maximum investment security.
Commercial success
The Jonas & Redmann TRAY AUTOMATION systems have already been installed to deliver throughputs of up to 6,500 wafers per hour. As part of a current project, it ensures safe supply under all circumstances when PECVD process equipment is deployed at a rate of at least 2,600 wafers per hour. Row-by-row pick-up and placement of incoming and outgoing wafers (unprocessed, partially processed, and fully processed) helps shorten cycle times.
We’re looking forward meeting you at SNEC. Please contact us to receive your personal voucher or to place any queries concerning our heterojunction technologies.
The successful installation of a cell tester by Berlin-based custom machine manufacturer Jonas & Redmann facilitates flexible electrical and optical characterization of solar cells at the PV-TEC Photovoltaic Technology Evaluation Center. Opened as a research factory for solar cells twelve years ago, the PV-TEC industrial laboratory is an important player in the piloting of crystalline silicon solar cells, thus helping to close the gap between research and industry.
From a production technology perspective, a research line such as Fraunhofer ISE’s PV-TEC – with its high level of product diversity and relatively low batch sizes – has special requirements for a cell tester. Measurement of a wide range of cell designs and formats is just as important as the integration of measurement systems from different manufacturers, sometimes also in retrospect or only temporarily. Jonas & Redmann developed a highly flexible cell tester to meet these needs. Alexander Krieg, Research Associate at the Inline Solar Cell Analysis and Simulation group at Fraunhofer ISE, who was involved with the project from the beginning, said: “The cell tester for the Fraunhofer ISE Photovoltaic Technology Evaluation Center is the only measurement platform of its kind in the world today. It was developed for electrical and optical characterization of solar cells and is the result of close cooperation with our partner Jonas & Redmann. The highly flexible system currently unifies 13 measurement systems from leading manufacturers in the photovoltaics industry, while meeting the special requirements for operation in a research environment.” The cell tester guarantees extremely gentle solar cell transport and offers a comprehensive technical solution for the inspection of different cell designs. In addition to standard solar cells, the platform can also reliably characterize back contact, bifacial, busbarless, and half-cut solar cells. Developed specifically for use in the research field, the following technical features highlight how the cell tester enables flexible use cases at the Fraunhofer industrial laboratory:
Repeat measurements in case of error, multiple measurements
Optical inspection of both front and rear sides of the cell in a single pass on one conveyor system through automatic cell flipping
Implementation of different material flows, such as carrier-carrier or carrier-box operation, or manual loading to process special formats
Height-adjustable carrier loading and unloading positions in automatic mode, to support processing of curved cells
The integration of a rotary indexing table and uncovered rear side of the solar cell allows bifacial performance measurement (with simultaneous illumination of front and rear sides). This facilitates the detailed characterization of bifacial solar cells under realistic conditions. In addition to standard contact units consisting of two to six measurement bars, it is also possible to integrate special contact units for back contact and busbarless solar cells. This makes automatic measurement of the characteristic curve of these solar cell types possible. Specific measurement results can be assigned to individual solar cells through a wafer tracking system in combination with a data matrix code scanner. Data exchange between the measurement systems guarantees detailed and precise characterization of the solar cells. A combined electrical and photoluminescence measurement system automates advanced loss analysis methodologies. Integration of a high-precision linear axis to ensure low-vibration transport of the solar cells facilitates high resolution 2D and 3D print inspection with an optical resolution of 10 µm/pixel. Dr. Stefan Rein, Head of Quality Assurance, Characterization and Simulation at Fraunhofer ISE, emphasized: “This highly flexible and future-oriented measurement machine was only possible thanks to the committed cooperation and creativity of the Jonas & Redmann engineers. They were successfully able to translate the specific requirements of ISE scientists into high-performance and standards-compliant solutions. A number of interesting ideas for expansion have already been put forward.”

Jonas & Redmann has fully moved into its new headquarters in Berlin. The company opened the new headquarters on November 20, 2020. Barbro Dreher, State Secretary of the Senate Department for Economics, Energy and Public Enterprises, Oliver Igel, Mayor of Treptow-Köpenick, Dr. Stefan Franzke, Managing Director of Berlin Partner GmbH, and representatives of the companies and banks involved in the project congratulated Stefan Jonas & Lutz Redmann on this milestone.
The Berlin-based mechanical engineering company Jonas & Redmann has set up its headquarters in the Berlin Brandenburg airport region. The newly built production and office space is located on a 23,000 square metre site in the Berlin district of Treptow-Köpenick, Johannistal. The location was officially opened on November 20, 2020. Production had already started in July 2020 on 8,000 square metres of hall space.
Jonas & Redmann has invested 25 million euros in a new company headquarters with production halls. The building project was accepted on schedule in October 2020. Exactly one week before the company’s 31st anniversary, on 20 November 2020, the new headquarters of the Jonas & Redmann Group will be officially opened. The entire staff, 400 employees, have moved into their new workplaces.
In future, the company’s skilled workers will work at Segelfliegerdamm 65 in buildings which are optimally designed for the development and production of equipment for high-tech industries – such as medical technology, photovoltaics and energy storage technology. The company’s development and engineering departments are now efficiently linked to the production and storage areas. The building is tailored in every respect to the requirements of modern industrial production.
Barbro Dreher, State Secretary of the Senate Department for Economics, Energy and Public Enterprises: “The inauguration of the new company headquarters is good news not only for the company but also for Berlin as a business location. Our city needs this entrepreneurial spirit even in the crisis. Therefore we, as the State of Berlin, will continue to ensure good framework conditions”.
The managing directors and owners, Stefan Jonas and Lutz Redmann, have had construction company Goldbeck build a complete infrastructure. The costs and deadlines were maintained throughout the entire project. The production halls and the administration building were supplemented, for example, by a multi-storey car park, secured and roofed bicycle boxes and charging stations for electric vehicles.
The buildings are designed to meet high standards of energy efficiency and sustainability – heating is provided by district heating from efficient combined heat and power generation, the electricity consumed is consistently green, i.e. it is obtained from renewable energy sources, and intensive greening of the large hall and office roofs makes an additional contribution to the positive ecological balance.
Lutz Redmann, Co-Managing Director Jonas & Redmann Group GmbH: “Jonas & Redmann is the expert when it comes to fully automated processes and interlinking tools in high-tech industries. The region around our location is booming and we too are optimistic about the coming year”.
So the location itself is a plus point. Jonas & Redmann is internationally active. The new company address offers an excellent environment. Jonas & Redmann sees the proximity to the Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER) “Willy Brandt”, the neighbouring companies in the Adlershof Technology Park and, last but not least, the settlement of the electric car manufacturer Tesla in nearby Grünheide as plus points.
Stefan Jonas, Co-Managing Director Jonas & Redmann Group GmbH: „We have decided on a promising location. And from the very first day, the working environment for our skilled workers is fully improved”
Jonas & Redmann is building a new company headquarters in Johannisthal, an urban district in the Berlin borough of Treptow-Köpenick. The new production and office space is located on a 23,000 square-metre site at Adlershof Technology Park. Production in the new halls starts in July.
Jonas & Redmann is investing 25 million euros in a new company headquarters with production halls. Across 23,000 square metres, the Berlin-based company is thus creating the ideal prerequisites for optimally linking development and engineering with the company’s production areas. The production and assembly of machines in the new halls will start in July. The office building will be completed and occupied in early autumn.

The production and assembly of machines in the new halls will start in July. The office building will be completed and occupied in early autumn.
The newly constructed buildings are tailored in every respect to the requirements of industrial production and to the fact that more than 400 employees will work there. The building owners, Stefan Jonas and Lutz Redmann, are creating a complete infrastructure. The production halls and the administration building are supplemented, for example, by a multi-storey car park, secure and covered bike storage boxes as well as charging stations for electric vehicles.
Lutz Redmann, Co-Managing Director of Jonas & Redmann Group GmbH: “In high-tech industries, Jonas & Redmann stands for perfectly dovetailed, fully automated processes. In future, our work processes will run just as smoothly as our machines. We will develop and produce our technologies more efficiently. This will benefit both our employees and our clients.”
The buildings are designed to achieve high energy efficiency and sustainability standards – heating is provided by district heating from efficient combined heat and power generation, the electricity consumed is consistently green, i.e. is obtained from renewable energy sources, and intensive greening of the large hall and office roofs makes an additional contribution to the positive ecological balance.
The aim is to continue securing the future of the family business for the next generation. By building its own company and production facilities, the company will no longer be dependent on Berlin’s very dynamic real estate market. A plus point is the location itself. Jonas & Redmann generates a significant proportion of its sales outside Germany, and it does this in research- and development-intensive industries. With a view to the machine manufacturer’s international high-tech business, the new company address on Segelfliegerdamm offers excellent conditions. The Berlin Brandenburg Airport Region, with Adlershof Technology Park and other technology clusters, is one of the most developing economic areas in Europe. With the Berlin Brandenburg “Willy Brandt” Airport (BER), a European air traffic hub is also being created in the immediate vicinity of the new company headquarters.
Stefan Jonas, Co-Managing Director of Jonas & Redmann Group GmbH: “We’ve opted for a company location with a promising future. And the working environment for our skilled personnel will completely improve right from day one. The offices are bright and much more spacious. Communication problems due to large spatial distances will no longer exist in future. Personally, I’m particularly delighted that in future a company cafeteria will be available to our team that has a large, green outdoor area. Meeting there and spending breaks together will instil new energy, especially during stressful phases.”

Jonas & Redmann has fully moved into its new headquarters in Berlin. The company opened the new headquarters on November 20, 2020. Barbro Dreher, State Secretary of the Senate Department for Economics, Energy and Public Enterprises, Oliver Igel, Mayor of Treptow-Köpenick, Dr. Stefan Franzke, Managing Director of Berlin Partner GmbH, and representatives of the companies and banks involved in the project congratulated Stefan Jonas & Lutz Redmann on this milestone.
The Berlin-based mechanical engineering company Jonas & Redmann has set up its headquarters in the Berlin Brandenburg airport region. The newly built production and office space is located on a 23,000 square metre site in the Berlin district of Treptow-Köpenick, Johannistal. The location was officially opened on November 20, 2020. Production had already started in July 2020 on 8,000 square metres of hall space.
Jonas & Redmann has invested 25 million euros in a new company headquarters with production halls. The building project was accepted on schedule in October 2020. Exactly one week before the company’s 31st anniversary, on 20 November 2020, the new headquarters of the Jonas & Redmann Group will be officially opened. The entire staff, 400 employees, have moved into their new workplaces.
In future, the company’s skilled workers will work at Segelfliegerdamm 65 in buildings which are optimally designed for the development and production of equipment for high-tech industries – such as medical technology, photovoltaics and energy storage technology. The company’s development and engineering departments are now efficiently linked to the production and storage areas. The building is tailored in every respect to the requirements of modern industrial production.
Barbro Dreher, State Secretary of the Senate Department for Economics, Energy and Public Enterprises: “The inauguration of the new company headquarters is good news not only for the company but also for Berlin as a business location. Our city needs this entrepreneurial spirit even in the crisis. Therefore we, as the State of Berlin, will continue to ensure good framework conditions”.
The managing directors and owners, Stefan Jonas and Lutz Redmann, have had construction company Goldbeck build a complete infrastructure. The costs and deadlines were maintained throughout the entire project. The production halls and the administration building were supplemented, for example, by a multi-storey car park, secured and roofed bicycle boxes and charging stations for electric vehicles.
The buildings are designed to meet high standards of energy efficiency and sustainability – heating is provided by district heating from efficient combined heat and power generation, the electricity consumed is consistently green, i.e. it is obtained from renewable energy sources, and intensive greening of the large hall and office roofs makes an additional contribution to the positive ecological balance.
Lutz Redmann, Co-Managing Director Jonas & Redmann Group GmbH: “Jonas & Redmann is the expert when it comes to fully automated processes and interlinking tools in high-tech industries. The region around our location is booming and we too are optimistic about the coming year”.
So the location itself is a plus point. Jonas & Redmann is internationally active. The new company address offers an excellent environment. Jonas & Redmann sees the proximity to the Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER) “Willy Brandt”, the neighbouring companies in the Adlershof Technology Park and, last but not least, the settlement of the electric car manufacturer Tesla in nearby Grünheide as plus points.
Stefan Jonas, Co-Managing Director Jonas & Redmann Group GmbH: „We have decided on a promising location. And from the very first day, the working environment for our skilled workers is fully improved”

When the Berlin Wall fell in the historic year of 1989, two engineers, Stefan Jonas and Lutz Redmann, decided to create their first company in Neukölln – Jonas & Redmann Automationstechnik GmbH.
Jonas & Redmann has been developing and producing machines and systems for research and development-intensive sectors such as medical technology, photovoltaics (since 1999) and energy storage (since 2009). The company also operates in the cross-sector field of assembly automation. Thanks to a pioneering spirit in technology, this mechanical engineering firm was able to drive innovation in high-tech areas through numerous collaborations and open up new markets.
In 1989 the fledgling company received its first orders from the medical technology and textile industry. Jonas & Redmann applied for its first patent in 1991. Ten years after its founding, in 1999, the company entered the crystalline photovoltaic business and established its photovoltaics division. In 2001, for example, Jonas & Redmann automated complicated handling steps in the production of solar cells for the first time, setting standards worldwide. In 2002 the company created the first automated assembly lines, which enabled integration of the entire value chain in the crystalline silicon solar cell sector, and in 2005 it interlinked an entire solar cell factory, which is considered a milestone in intelligent material logistics. In 2008 JRT Photovoltaics was founded as part of the Jonas & Redmann Group, and the JRT metallization line was introduced to the market. In 2009 Jonas & Redmann created subsidiaries in Taiwan and the United States before entering the energy storage sector in 2010 and founding the Jonas & Redmann China Co. Ltd in 2011. In 2015 Jonas & Redmann built a fully-automated manufacturing line for the mass production of lithium-ion batteries – an important step in the electromobility industry of the future. The company also got involved in the automotive sector and has built several fully-automated manufacturing lines for leading automotive suppliers since 2016. In 2019, the company developed an assembly line for the production of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC).
In the future Jonas & Redmann would like to harness further potential in technological development and views Berlin and Germany as an excellent environment for this. Jonas & Redmann remains fully committed to Berlin and is currently building its new headquarters in the Adlershof Technology Park in the German capital. The new building marks a milestone in our company’s history. When we move into the building in 2020, we will be much better equipped to meet the production engineering challenges of tomorrow, especially in large-scale projects, and the demands of modern production. The relocation plan was based on close cooperation between the development and manufacturing divisions.
Jonas & Redmann’s highly productive automated wafer handling for diffusion and annealing – WHD HTP – was awarded at SNEC 2019 at the “Top 10 Highlights Award”.
WHD HTP performs a highly productive loading and unloading of all types of batch diffusion or annealing process equipment. Distinguished by an outstanding productivity, the fully automatic machine realizes a super high throughput of more than 18,000 wafer per hour – for example in PERC or TOPcon cell production.
While grid parity is being approached, the demand of the photovoltaics industry concentrates on high-efficiency products to reduce the LCOE. Operating high precision- and high quality production equipment, in combination with state-of-the-art cell structures, continuously improves production of scale and thus maximises the power of PV modules.
The SNEC “Top 10 Highlights” selection event is a top-class part of this exhibition. Contibuting to this years claim “FOR THE EARTH”, the most advanced technologies to produce renewable energy were awarded.
SNEC – Automated Wafer- and Trayhandling for the highly efficient production of heterojunction (HJT) solar cells with competitive potential on the global market
Berlin-based special machine manufacturer Jonas & Redmann presents the HJT TRAY AUTOMATION at the trade fair SNEC 2019 from June 4-6 in Shanghai, China. The modular platform is designed for the automation of inline process machines in the production of heterojunction (HJT) solar cells. Visit us at booth 575 in hall N3.
Level of innovation
The proven, modular tray automation system was adapted for the demanding production of highly efficient heterojunction (HJT) solar cells. Outstanding innovation is the particularly surface-friendly, yet high-performance handling of wafers in inline flat-carrier transport. This involves high-precision, row-by-row positioning of the wafers which are individually measured. Any deviations from the target dimensions are automatically compensated for. During the measurement and compensation process, the measurement system takes temperature-dependent length extension of the trays in to account as well.
Standardized interfaces to exchange process data from the automation, which is thoroughly based on industrial PCs, with overlaid manufacturing execution systems (MES) have also been implemented. This fulfills requirements for consistent workflow tracking and optimization, in keeping with the concept of Industry 4.0, without requiring additional effort.
Solution efficiency
The solution boasts high-precision handling of thin wafers (120-160 µm) at elevated temperatures of over 200°C and in a controlled atmosphere (nitrogen). This is made possible by an innovative gripper and transport system and by integrated, comprehensive measurement systems.
Best-in-class camera system technology ensures precise wafer alignment and optimum wafer position into tray pockets. The HJT TRAY AUTOMATION System thus guarantees perfect conditions for efficient processing. The platform provides camera-based breakage control and discharge of defective wafers and allows an easy integration of customized measurement needs (thickness, color). Comprehensive sensors record temperature, nitrogen concentration, and humidity within and partly outside the working space.
Solution sustainability
The solution incorporates gentle wafer handling during gripping and placement onto tray pockets, as well as transport onto special conveyor belts – these features minimize surface damage. This in turn contributes toward a lasting high level of efficiency for the processed heterojunction cells up to 24% cell efficiency. The modular system concept can be customized to suit any process technology. Proven modules and functions ensure short development times, lastingly reliable operation, a long service life, and, as a result, maximum investment security.
Commercial success
The Jonas & Redmann TRAY AUTOMATION systems have already been installed to deliver throughputs of up to 6,500 wafers per hour. As part of a current project, it ensures safe supply under all circumstances when PECVD process equipment is deployed at a rate of at least 2,600 wafers per hour. Row-by-row pick-up and placement of incoming and outgoing wafers (unprocessed, partially processed, and fully processed) helps shorten cycle times.
We’re looking forward meeting you at SNEC. Please contact us to receive your personal voucher or to place any queries concerning our heterojunction technologies.
The successful installation of a cell tester by Berlin-based custom machine manufacturer Jonas & Redmann facilitates flexible electrical and optical characterization of solar cells at the PV-TEC Photovoltaic Technology Evaluation Center. Opened as a research factory for solar cells twelve years ago, the PV-TEC industrial laboratory is an important player in the piloting of crystalline silicon solar cells, thus helping to close the gap between research and industry.
From a production technology perspective, a research line such as Fraunhofer ISE’s PV-TEC – with its high level of product diversity and relatively low batch sizes – has special requirements for a cell tester. Measurement of a wide range of cell designs and formats is just as important as the integration of measurement systems from different manufacturers, sometimes also in retrospect or only temporarily. Jonas & Redmann developed a highly flexible cell tester to meet these needs. Alexander Krieg, Research Associate at the Inline Solar Cell Analysis and Simulation group at Fraunhofer ISE, who was involved with the project from the beginning, said: “The cell tester for the Fraunhofer ISE Photovoltaic Technology Evaluation Center is the only measurement platform of its kind in the world today. It was developed for electrical and optical characterization of solar cells and is the result of close cooperation with our partner Jonas & Redmann. The highly flexible system currently unifies 13 measurement systems from leading manufacturers in the photovoltaics industry, while meeting the special requirements for operation in a research environment.” The cell tester guarantees extremely gentle solar cell transport and offers a comprehensive technical solution for the inspection of different cell designs. In addition to standard solar cells, the platform can also reliably characterize back contact, bifacial, busbarless, and half-cut solar cells. Developed specifically for use in the research field, the following technical features highlight how the cell tester enables flexible use cases at the Fraunhofer industrial laboratory:
Repeat measurements in case of error, multiple measurements
Optical inspection of both front and rear sides of the cell in a single pass on one conveyor system through automatic cell flipping
Implementation of different material flows, such as carrier-carrier or carrier-box operation, or manual loading to process special formats
Height-adjustable carrier loading and unloading positions in automatic mode, to support processing of curved cells
The integration of a rotary indexing table and uncovered rear side of the solar cell allows bifacial performance measurement (with simultaneous illumination of front and rear sides). This facilitates the detailed characterization of bifacial solar cells under realistic conditions. In addition to standard contact units consisting of two to six measurement bars, it is also possible to integrate special contact units for back contact and busbarless solar cells. This makes automatic measurement of the characteristic curve of these solar cell types possible. Specific measurement results can be assigned to individual solar cells through a wafer tracking system in combination with a data matrix code scanner. Data exchange between the measurement systems guarantees detailed and precise characterization of the solar cells. A combined electrical and photoluminescence measurement system automates advanced loss analysis methodologies. Integration of a high-precision linear axis to ensure low-vibration transport of the solar cells facilitates high resolution 2D and 3D print inspection with an optical resolution of 10 µm/pixel. Dr. Stefan Rein, Head of Quality Assurance, Characterization and Simulation at Fraunhofer ISE, emphasized: “This highly flexible and future-oriented measurement machine was only possible thanks to the committed cooperation and creativity of the Jonas & Redmann engineers. They were successfully able to translate the specific requirements of ISE scientists into high-performance and standards-compliant solutions. A number of interesting ideas for expansion have already been put forward.”

When the Berlin Wall fell in the historic year of 1989, two engineers, Stefan Jonas and Lutz Redmann, decided to create their first company in Neukölln – Jonas & Redmann Automationstechnik GmbH.
Jonas & Redmann has been developing and producing machines and systems for research and development-intensive sectors such as medical technology, photovoltaics (since 1999) and energy storage (since 2009). The company also operates in the cross-sector field of assembly automation. Thanks to a pioneering spirit in technology, this mechanical engineering firm was able to drive innovation in high-tech areas through numerous collaborations and open up new markets.
In 1989 the fledgling company received its first orders from the medical technology and textile industry. Jonas & Redmann applied for its first patent in 1991. Ten years after its founding, in 1999, the company entered the crystalline photovoltaic business and established its photovoltaics division. In 2001, for example, Jonas & Redmann automated complicated handling steps in the production of solar cells for the first time, setting standards worldwide. In 2002 the company created the first automated assembly lines, which enabled integration of the entire value chain in the crystalline silicon solar cell sector, and in 2005 it interlinked an entire solar cell factory, which is considered a milestone in intelligent material logistics. In 2008 JRT Photovoltaics was founded as part of the Jonas & Redmann Group, and the JRT metallization line was introduced to the market. In 2009 Jonas & Redmann created subsidiaries in Taiwan and the United States before entering the energy storage sector in 2010 and founding the Jonas & Redmann China Co. Ltd in 2011. In 2015 Jonas & Redmann built a fully-automated manufacturing line for the mass production of lithium-ion batteries – an important step in the electromobility industry of the future. The company also got involved in the automotive sector and has built several fully-automated manufacturing lines for leading automotive suppliers since 2016. In 2019, the company developed an assembly line for the production of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC).
In the future Jonas & Redmann would like to harness further potential in technological development and views Berlin and Germany as an excellent environment for this. Jonas & Redmann remains fully committed to Berlin and is currently building its new headquarters in the Adlershof Technology Park in the German capital. The new building marks a milestone in our company’s history. When we move into the building in 2020, we will be much better equipped to meet the production engineering challenges of tomorrow, especially in large-scale projects, and the demands of modern production. The relocation plan was based on close cooperation between the development and manufacturing divisions.
Jonas & Redmann’s highly productive automated wafer handling for diffusion and annealing – WHD HTP – was awarded at SNEC 2019 at the “Top 10 Highlights Award”.
WHD HTP performs a highly productive loading and unloading of all types of batch diffusion or annealing process equipment. Distinguished by an outstanding productivity, the fully automatic machine realizes a super high throughput of more than 18,000 wafer per hour – for example in PERC or TOPcon cell production.
While grid parity is being approached, the demand of the photovoltaics industry concentrates on high-efficiency products to reduce the LCOE. Operating high precision- and high quality production equipment, in combination with state-of-the-art cell structures, continuously improves production of scale and thus maximises the power of PV modules.
The SNEC “Top 10 Highlights” selection event is a top-class part of this exhibition. Contibuting to this years claim “FOR THE EARTH”, the most advanced technologies to produce renewable energy were awarded.
SNEC – Automated Wafer- and Trayhandling for the highly efficient production of heterojunction (HJT) solar cells with competitive potential on the global market
Berlin-based special machine manufacturer Jonas & Redmann presents the HJT TRAY AUTOMATION at the trade fair SNEC 2019 from June 4-6 in Shanghai, China. The modular platform is designed for the automation of inline process machines in the production of heterojunction (HJT) solar cells. Visit us at booth 575 in hall N3.
Level of innovation
The proven, modular tray automation system was adapted for the demanding production of highly efficient heterojunction (HJT) solar cells. Outstanding innovation is the particularly surface-friendly, yet high-performance handling of wafers in inline flat-carrier transport. This involves high-precision, row-by-row positioning of the wafers which are individually measured. Any deviations from the target dimensions are automatically compensated for. During the measurement and compensation process, the measurement system takes temperature-dependent length extension of the trays in to account as well.
Standardized interfaces to exchange process data from the automation, which is thoroughly based on industrial PCs, with overlaid manufacturing execution systems (MES) have also been implemented. This fulfills requirements for consistent workflow tracking and optimization, in keeping with the concept of Industry 4.0, without requiring additional effort.
Solution efficiency
The solution boasts high-precision handling of thin wafers (120-160 µm) at elevated temperatures of over 200°C and in a controlled atmosphere (nitrogen). This is made possible by an innovative gripper and transport system and by integrated, comprehensive measurement systems.
Best-in-class camera system technology ensures precise wafer alignment and optimum wafer position into tray pockets. The HJT TRAY AUTOMATION System thus guarantees perfect conditions for efficient processing. The platform provides camera-based breakage control and discharge of defective wafers and allows an easy integration of customized measurement needs (thickness, color). Comprehensive sensors record temperature, nitrogen concentration, and humidity within and partly outside the working space.
Solution sustainability
The solution incorporates gentle wafer handling during gripping and placement onto tray pockets, as well as transport onto special conveyor belts – these features minimize surface damage. This in turn contributes toward a lasting high level of efficiency for the processed heterojunction cells up to 24% cell efficiency. The modular system concept can be customized to suit any process technology. Proven modules and functions ensure short development times, lastingly reliable operation, a long service life, and, as a result, maximum investment security.
Commercial success
The Jonas & Redmann TRAY AUTOMATION systems have already been installed to deliver throughputs of up to 6,500 wafers per hour. As part of a current project, it ensures safe supply under all circumstances when PECVD process equipment is deployed at a rate of at least 2,600 wafers per hour. Row-by-row pick-up and placement of incoming and outgoing wafers (unprocessed, partially processed, and fully processed) helps shorten cycle times.
We’re looking forward meeting you at SNEC. Please contact us to receive your personal voucher or to place any queries concerning our heterojunction technologies.
The successful installation of a cell tester by Berlin-based custom machine manufacturer Jonas & Redmann facilitates flexible electrical and optical characterization of solar cells at the PV-TEC Photovoltaic Technology Evaluation Center. Opened as a research factory for solar cells twelve years ago, the PV-TEC industrial laboratory is an important player in the piloting of crystalline silicon solar cells, thus helping to close the gap between research and industry.
From a production technology perspective, a research line such as Fraunhofer ISE’s PV-TEC – with its high level of product diversity and relatively low batch sizes – has special requirements for a cell tester. Measurement of a wide range of cell designs and formats is just as important as the integration of measurement systems from different manufacturers, sometimes also in retrospect or only temporarily. Jonas & Redmann developed a highly flexible cell tester to meet these needs. Alexander Krieg, Research Associate at the Inline Solar Cell Analysis and Simulation group at Fraunhofer ISE, who was involved with the project from the beginning, said: “The cell tester for the Fraunhofer ISE Photovoltaic Technology Evaluation Center is the only measurement platform of its kind in the world today. It was developed for electrical and optical characterization of solar cells and is the result of close cooperation with our partner Jonas & Redmann. The highly flexible system currently unifies 13 measurement systems from leading manufacturers in the photovoltaics industry, while meeting the special requirements for operation in a research environment.” The cell tester guarantees extremely gentle solar cell transport and offers a comprehensive technical solution for the inspection of different cell designs. In addition to standard solar cells, the platform can also reliably characterize back contact, bifacial, busbarless, and half-cut solar cells. Developed specifically for use in the research field, the following technical features highlight how the cell tester enables flexible use cases at the Fraunhofer industrial laboratory:
Repeat measurements in case of error, multiple measurements
Optical inspection of both front and rear sides of the cell in a single pass on one conveyor system through automatic cell flipping
Implementation of different material flows, such as carrier-carrier or carrier-box operation, or manual loading to process special formats
Height-adjustable carrier loading and unloading positions in automatic mode, to support processing of curved cells
The integration of a rotary indexing table and uncovered rear side of the solar cell allows bifacial performance measurement (with simultaneous illumination of front and rear sides). This facilitates the detailed characterization of bifacial solar cells under realistic conditions. In addition to standard contact units consisting of two to six measurement bars, it is also possible to integrate special contact units for back contact and busbarless solar cells. This makes automatic measurement of the characteristic curve of these solar cell types possible. Specific measurement results can be assigned to individual solar cells through a wafer tracking system in combination with a data matrix code scanner. Data exchange between the measurement systems guarantees detailed and precise characterization of the solar cells. A combined electrical and photoluminescence measurement system automates advanced loss analysis methodologies. Integration of a high-precision linear axis to ensure low-vibration transport of the solar cells facilitates high resolution 2D and 3D print inspection with an optical resolution of 10 µm/pixel. Dr. Stefan Rein, Head of Quality Assurance, Characterization and Simulation at Fraunhofer ISE, emphasized: “This highly flexible and future-oriented measurement machine was only possible thanks to the committed cooperation and creativity of the Jonas & Redmann engineers. They were successfully able to translate the specific requirements of ISE scientists into high-performance and standards-compliant solutions. A number of interesting ideas for expansion have already been put forward.”
