[China, Japan, and South Korea who will become the future leader in battery smart manufacturing? 】 China's new energy vehicles and industry-related industries can take the lead in the world, the key is to see whether the domestic industry-related equipment and technology can always stay ahead, promote the development of the power battery industry to intelligent manufacturing direction is not only to realize the corner of China's auto industry The key element of overtaking is also an inevitable choice for China to move toward a battery-powerful country. In recent years, China's new energy automobile industry has achieved rapid development under the drive of policies and markets. This has also given China's power batteries and related industries a rare opportunity for development. As one of the ten key breakthrough areas in the “Made in China 2025â€, the new energy vehicle is an important measure for China to implement a strategy for building a strong country. The power battery is the core component of the new energy vehicle, and its development is bound to move toward high-end intelligent manufacturing. development of. The subject of the "Research on the Development of Power Battery Intelligent Manufacturing System" led by the Power Battery Application Branch of the China Chemical and Physical Power Industry Association and the China Automotive Technology and Research Center was also launched recently. At this point, China's power battery intelligent manufacturing shifted from the company's own needs to the common needs of industrial development. Zhang Yu, Secretary-General of the Power Battery Application Branch of the China Chemical and Physical Power Industry Association stated at the launch ceremony that at present, the production line of the power battery factory is updated one year or even six months, and the iteration speed is accelerated. The technical route of the power battery manufacturing line in China varies. Problems such as lack of systematicness, lack of consistency, lack of consistency, etc., are also one of the important factors causing the gap between China and Japan and Korea's power battery companies. She also said that automation, digitalization, networking, and intelligence will be the focus of smart manufacturing development in the future, and the importance of the power battery industry as a very important part of the new energy automotive industry is self-evident. China is expected to become a leader in global smart battery manufacturing According to Battery China.com, the global power battery industry is currently concentrated in China, Japan, and South Korea. The level of automation in Japan and South Korea's mainstream lithium-ion battery companies is even higher than 80%, and the main focus is on intelligent production systems, and domestic lithium-ion companies. The current production line automation level is still low. According to the introduction of Yu Hongjie, general manager of the International Logistics Technology Co., Ltd. today, the domestic battery company's current automated production line in the first echelon should be more than 50%, but the second and third echelon's automated production line may be only 20-30%. The low level of automation has caused China's power batteries to have a large gap with foreign countries in terms of product quality and battery consistency. At the same time, due to the low degree of automation, low production efficiency has lost its cost advantage. The German automotive industry has achieved Siemens, Kuka and other industrial chain related companies, and with the development of China's new energy automotive industry, it is bound to drive the growth of related industries in the industry chain. Zhao Shengyu, chairman of the company's Zhaoxing Laser Intelligent Equipment Co., Ltd., said in an exclusive interview with Batteries China Network that the rapid development of an industry and localized manufacturing will certainly drive the development of related industries, and the new energy automobile industry will drive the rapid development of the power battery industry. This, in turn, has also boosted the lithium-electric equipment industry's technology, scale, and management level. Zhao Shengyu believes that at present, China has shown clear catch-up trend in the fields of power batteries and lithium-power equipment, but there is still a certain gap between the key technologies, key equipment and the intelligent manufacturing level of battery production lines. Huang Xianghu, vice president of Han's Laser Technology Industry Group Co., Ltd., also said in an exclusive interview with Batteries China Network that the largest application market for the automotive industry is in China. In terms of traditional fuel vehicles, because China started late, both technology and key equipment are foreign. There is a large gap between industries and the possibility of catching up is small. China's new energy vehicle industry has an earlier layout and is expected to achieve “curve passingâ€. China may lead the new energy vehicle and related industry chain in the future. . Huang Xianghu also gave an example. In the field of power batteries, companies like the Ningde era have already begun to surpass the Japanese and Korean battery companies in a global leading position. In the future, lithium-ion power equipment may also appear similar. He also said that in order to support the leadership in the new energy vehicle and power battery industry, it is an inevitable trend for the battery manufacturing line to develop toward high-end smart manufacturing. Power battery smart manufacturing still faces many challenges As an active promoter of the new energy automobile industry, China's new energy vehicles and power batteries are also facing many obstacles in the development of smart manufacturing. Wang Weidong, chairman of Wincom Technology Co., Ltd., said that the development of domestic equipment in recent years has been difficult. The main reason is that equipment companies still have a certain gap with Japan and South Korea in terms of response speed and flexible customization. This is a place that domestic enterprises should pay attention to. It is also the future direction of development. He also said that in order to support domestic lithium battery companies to maintain their leading position in the world, lithium battery equipment must lay a solid foundation for intelligent battery manufacturing. He also believes that equipment companies must not only make "high-precision" single-core equipment, but also continue to innovate, have the ability to integrate automation, in order to contribute to the industry. According to Battery China.com, the current domestic lithium battery manufacturing hardware equipment is mostly collected in segments. There is a problem of compatibility and diversity between devices, resulting in low integration between various types of industrial software and data sharing and circulation; , Lithium battery production and test data collection volume, each process has different management and control needs, the manufacturing model is a process-type and discrete hybrid model, exacerbated the industrial digital / intelligent manufacturing difficulty. In addition, the size specifications of power batteries are not uniform, and domestic companies have produced hundreds of batteries of different specifications, resulting in relatively small sales of single models, which limits the development of standardization, scale, and intelligent manufacturing. Power battery smart manufacturing a strong country's inevitable choice The industry believes that in order to improve the consistency of power batteries, improve production efficiency, improve information management, reduce labor, reduce labor intensity; at the same time, in order to meet the needs of mixed-line production of batteries with different specifications in the production process of power batteries, build automation and intelligence. The production logistics system and intelligent manufacturing system have become an inevitable trend. On the one hand, for power battery companies, implementation of smart manufacturing can improve efficiency, reduce costs, improve quality, improve material utilization, shorten product development cycles, reduce unit production labor costs, and accelerate transparency of on-site management, thereby enhancing the competitiveness of enterprises; On the other hand, while promoting the transformation and upgrading of the power battery industry, it can promote the development of high-end equipment for power batteries. Zhang Yu said that "Research on the Development Route of Power Battery Intelligent Manufacturing Production System" will redefine the dynamic battery intelligent manufacturing standard by combing the production system, technology development path and industry standard framework, and provide basis for industry enterprises to establish intelligent manufacturing plants. “Power Battery Intelligent Manufacturing Blue Book†and organized the establishment of group standards and industry standards for intelligent battery manufacturing. China's new energy vehicles and related industries in the industry chain can take the lead in the world, the key is to see whether the domestic industry equipment and technology levels can always stay ahead, promote the development of the power battery industry to the direction of intelligent manufacturing is not only to realize the corner of China's auto industry overtaking The key element is also an inevitable choice for China to move toward a strong battery manufacturing country.
