Spend hundreds of millions of dollars into the smart manufacturing can break the power battery capacity "savage growth"

Intelligent manufacturing is not only an inevitable choice for product quality upgrade, but also a high ground for the development of the power battery industry. In the past two years, “the shortage of medium and high-end production capacity and low-end overcapacity” has been mentioned more and more by people in the industry. Some power battery companies have blindly expanded their production in pursuit of production capacity, which has also made the whole industry “savagely growing”. . For the industry problem of how to break the bureau, more power battery companies have chosen the breakthrough of smart manufacturing.

Recently, the China Chemical and Physical Power Industry Association Power Battery Application Branch (hereinafter referred to as the Power Battery Application Branch) and Battery China Network organized the "Intelligent Manufacturing · Miles - 2017 'Power Battery Industry Chain Intelligent Journey" research activity survey Group 1 visited a number of power battery industry chain companies and conducted in-depth research on the status quo and existing problems of intelligent manufacturing in the industry.

Equipment is a product that companies need to truly understand the craft

"Bringing the doctrine" is usually a good choice for the development of China's power battery enterprises. By introducing foreign production equipment, including experienced technical talents, experts and other advantageous resources, enterprises can quickly stand on the limelight new energy industry. As a result, a large number of companies that are not bad money have poured into the "gold rush" in the field of power batteries.

However, the reality is that smart devices that have been introduced with hundreds of millions of dollars of funds are often “unacceptable”, and the running-in period is forced to be extended or even become a display. In the investigation, Chuangming New Energy believes that the intelligent manufacturing of the power battery industry cannot be “shortcut”, and independent research and development innovation is indispensable. In addition, the equipment is for the product, the enterprise must truly understand the power battery production process, and put the corresponding energy into the precipitation of manufacturing capacity. Zhuoneng New Energy also said that the current replacement of power battery equipment is very fast. Basically, many equipments have to be eliminated in three years, which is easy to waste capital. Therefore, smart manufacturing must incorporate the company's own innovation genes and help companies continue to provide cost-effective products.

Market-oriented obvious intelligent manufacturing should be included in the industrial chain layout

For the reason that the power battery enterprises purchased a large number of advanced equipment but the production line could not run, Tianjin shares and Yiwei Lithium could respond to the investigation team. At present, the overall domestic market demand has not been released. On the one hand, the new energy vehicle market is generally warming up, but the demand for power batteries is not that much. According to the analysis report of Industrial Securities, China's power battery demand in 2016 is about 28GWh. It is estimated that the demand for power batteries will be only about 90GWh by 2020. On the other hand, the market for passenger cars with relatively complicated production processes is increasing. The reality of the safety of passenger cars has put forward new requirements for the intelligence, automation and informationization of the whole line, which will force the power battery enterprises to be flexible and timely to make adjustments.

Tianjin shares further explained that in the face of the development of the new energy vehicle market, power battery companies must first lead the industry in equipment, because this is the basic condition. A further development idea is to be able to incorporate the intelligent manufacturing of power battery companies into the vehicle consideration system, because this is not only related to the consistency and quality of the battery core, but also has a close relationship with the entire core manufacturing line and the PACK manufacturing line. This is also the general trend of the coordinated development of the industrial chain.

"Hundred schools of contention" intelligent manufacturing data analysis can not be lost

The development of the power battery industry is in a state of “hundred schools of contention”, but in the end it will definitely fall into the competition of cost performance: under the premise of basic performance guarantee of products, it can achieve the highest cost performance. This is reflected in the power battery equipment, which requires the enterprise's intelligent manufacturing technology to be more diverse and more efficient. Therefore, the technical routes of different companies are not the same: Zhuoneng New Energy pays more attention to energy conservation and automation, taking into account cost and efficiency; BAK Power considers the whole life cycle of products and achieves five supply and sales. Dimensional hardware and software combination; Waterma is committed to building a smart factory, through the collaborative innovation of the Waterma Innovation Alliance to enhance the smart manufacturing momentum...

As the first power battery equipment company in China that can realize the whole line delivery, Wintech has strong technical advantages in intelligent manufacturing, and has provided a good opportunity for many power battery companies in this intelligent journey. Recommendation: Many companies' smart devices can only do data traceability at most, but no data management analysis, let alone data mining. Therefore, the power battery enterprise must do the data analysis, otherwise the problem can not be solved quickly by the enterprise, and it is not conducive to the long-term competitiveness of the enterprise.

Battery China Network believes that advanced intelligent manufacturing equipment is not a productive force, but merely a stepping stone to achieve high-end development of the industry. To get rid of the current situation of “savage growth” of power battery capacity, it is necessary for each enterprise to “contend for a hundred schools of thought”, to get out of the technical route suitable for the company's own development, to enhance the intelligent manufacturing level of the enterprise, and ultimately to promote the healthy and orderly development of the entire power battery industry chain. In short, power battery companies should return to the initial focus of improving product quality and build the core competitiveness of enterprises. In addition, the normative guiding role of industry associations cannot be ignored.
