SOMA tests, secures and automates power electronics for e-mobility

When electrical energy is turned into motion, reliable testing and automation solutions are crucial. This is precisely where SOMA comes in. We develop and realise systems with which control units, power converters and high-voltage components are safely tested, automatically manufactured and transferred to series production in consistently high quality. In this way, SOMA creates the basis for ensuring that modern e-mobility solutions function reliably and are ready for the market.

Test and automation systems for high-voltage products

At SOMA, we develop and manufacture systems that are part of the central test steps of modern e-mobility. Our systems for high-voltage products ensure the quality of, among other things:

  • Drive controllers
  • Onboard chargers
  • DC/DC converters
  • bidirectional charging units

and enable reliable series production. To achieve this, we combine technical expertise in testing technology, automation, data processing and high-voltage architecture to create intelligent overall solutions.

Testing, validating and further developing

Our expertise extends far beyond the production line. In the test laboratory for power electronics, high-voltage components can be tested under real-life conditions. This includes:

  • EMC-compliant test setups
  • Temperature and climate tests
  • Performance tests in the high-load range
  • Analysis and validation processes

SOMA thus enables complete qualification of the systems from early development to series release.

Worldwide project support from a single source

Many of our customers realise major international projects that range from the initial prototype phase to the global start of series production. SOMA provides this:

  • Development support and sample test benches
  • Production lines and fully automated end-of-line tests
  • Systems for functional testing and process reliability
  • Test systems for quality assurance and returns

Our teams accompany projects worldwide and support manufacturers in producing power electronic systems reliably, efficiently and reproducibly.

Strong as part of the KOSTAL Group

Collaboration within the KOSTAL Group expands our expertise with additional development and technology modules that are directly tangible for our customers.

Our sister companies in the Group supply high-performance control and supply electronics, drive forward high-voltage architectures for charging, energy and converters, transfer this expertise to industrial applications and supplement this ecosystem with intelligent AC and DC charging infrastructure.

SOMA connects these worlds and ensures that the technology functions reliably, is tested efficiently and goes into series production with maximum process reliability - for the direct benefit of our customers: more safety, efficiency and innovation from a single source.

SOMA: Tested, automated and future-proof

With our reliable testing technology, our modern automation solutions and the technological synergies with the KOSTAL Group, we create an environment in which innovative power electronics can be used more quickly and safely.

For manufacturers, this means higher quality, shorter start-up times, reliable validation and production that will also meet future requirements. SOMA makes power electronics ready for the real world - precisely tested and reliably automated.
