my country's lithium-ion battery intelligent manufacturing process speeds up

The production of lithium-ion batteries has moved from GWh to TWh, giving the lithium battery equipment industry more room for market growth. At the same time, it also puts forward higher requirements for lithium battery equipment in terms of intelligence, automation, and scale. Under the requirements of large-scale production expansion and improved safety performance, traditional equipment and manufacturing processes have been unable to meet the development needs of the lithium-ion battery industry. As the concentration of the lithium-ion battery industry continues to increase, the lithium battery equipment industry has also entered a new stage of development. △Dr. Zhang Xiaofei, Chairman of Gaogong Consulting On March 20th, at the '2021 Lithium-ion Battery Intelligent Manufacturing Summit' named by Hymson Laser, Dr. Zhang Xiaofei, chairman of Gaogong Consulting, made the 'my country's Lithium-ion Battery Intelligent Manufacturing' The keynote speech of 'Current Situation and Trends'. Driven by the rise of the three major consumer terminal markets of power lithium batteries, digital batteries and energy storage batteries, the scale of my country's lithium battery equipment market continues to rise. Since 2020, as the global power lithium battery rises to start a new wave of expansion, the power lithium battery has entered the era of large-scale manufacturing, releasing a huge market demand for lithium battery smart devices. In order to further enhance their competitiveness, battery companies urgently need the introduction of innovative equipment and innovation processes and intelligent manufacturing upgrades, forcing upstream equipment companies to accelerate their transformation and upgrading. Zhang Xiaofei pointed out that the current development characteristics of China's lithium-ion battery equipment market are mainly reflected in the following aspects: First, the head effect appears, the market share of head battery companies continues to increase, and the production expansion of head companies is an important pull for equipment demand; It is the continuous increase in the localization rate. In 2019, the localization rate of lithium battery equipment in China reached 90%, the localization rate of prismatic battery equipment exceeded 90%, and the localization rate of cylindrical battery equipment exceeded 95%. Third, the demand for high efficiency and intelligence is obvious. The safety and consistency requirements of lithium battery products force the equipment to be more efficient and intelligent; the fourth is that the strong combination is gradually becoming the new normal. The head battery company and the equipment company jointly innovate and jointly carry out customized research and development, and develop suitable products based on the process and technical characteristics. The company's production equipment; Fifth, the penetration rate of robots continues to increase, from industrial robots to mobile robots, more and more applications are used in the production of lithium batteries; Sixth, some areas are still catching up, and the most important is laminated equipment. On the whole, the 'three highs and three transformations' of high precision, high speed, high stability, unmanned, networked, and digital have become the technological development trend of the lithium battery equipment industry. Specifically, the high safety and standardization requirements of lithium-ion batteries promote the development of equipment in the direction of high-precision, high-efficiency, serialization and high-automation production lines; reducing labor costs, improving equipment automation, and unmanned is a necessary prerequisite; digital intelligence Minimizing security risks and losses is the company's core competitiveness. At present, the domestic head power lithium battery company is accelerating the construction of its intelligent manufacturing system. It has experienced the initial realization of equipment automation, production line automation, the establishment of engineering design, test verification, process manufacturing and other manufacturing process perfect systems, to the introduction of ERP and the establishment of large-scale manufacturing processes. Data platform, build the Internet of Things system, and then start data management and analysis related work, and try to promote 5G technology, AI technology, self-learning technology, image recognition technology and other intelligent manufacturing development stages on the production line. It is worth noting that the intelligent manufacturing of lithium-ion batteries is inseparable from the participation of robots. The integration of intelligent manufacturing technologies such as robots, artificial intelligence, informatization, and automation is a prerequisite for the realization of smart factories, and it is also a combination of discrete and pipelined lithium batteries in the future. The development trend of the production line.
