Empowering the entire lithium battery industry chain—STEP smart manufacturing stands out | A series of reports from the GaoGong Summit
2022-06-17
After years of dedicated effort, STEP has gradually demonstrated a deeply rooted “tech-savvy” style in the lithium-ion battery industry. Shifting swiftly from “pace running” to “accelerated sprinting,” it has stood out in the rapidly growing smart manufacturing market for lithium-ion batteries. But where does its confidence come from? Wang Gangzhi, Vice President of STEP At the 2022 Gao Gong Lithium Battery Intelligent Manufacturing Summit Forum, the answer to the question was revealed.
On the afternoon of June 16, 2022, at the Mao Shan International Conference Center in Jintan, Changzhou, Wang Gangzhi, Vice President of STEP, delivered a speech titled: High-efficiency intelligent manufacturing, powering the TWh era. In the keynote speech, he introduced to the more than 500 industry partners in attendance STEP’ core technologies and product line layout in the lithium battery sector, and shared practical experience and customer case studies.
As both the new-energy vehicle and energy-storage markets experience rapid growth, demand for power batteries is soaring, ushering in the TWh era. Against this backdrop, leading lithium-ion battery companies are driving a wave of capacity expansion across the entire industry. To mass-produce high-efficiency, high-quality batteries, intelligent manufacturing is increasingly gaining favor in the market.
As a globally leading provider of comprehensive smart manufacturing solutions, STEP focuses on the processing of power batteries. Production Engineering, Core Manufacturing Engineering, Chemical Composition and Capacity Testing, Module Assembly, PACK Line The production stages, as well as the downstream white-body welding line, have come together to form a comprehensive, intelligent manufacturing solution spanning the entire industry chain.
Vice President Wang Gangzhi stated that STEP is integrating. Motion control, robotics, intelligent manufacturing, Together, we have launched a comprehensive, intelligent manufacturing solution covering the entire lithium-ion battery industry chain. We’ve made significant strides in both the lithium-ion battery and new-energy vehicle industries, and our long-term accumulation continues to create value for our customers.
· SC Series PAC Supports MES integration, and its self-developed tension algorithm has been applied in the lithium-ion battery industry.
· Ω6 Series Servo Drives Equipped with features such as high-speed probes, this product represents a new generation that “matches and even surpasses imported counterparts.”
· New Era Robot Product load 3kg-600kg , total 45 This model has received widespread recognition in terms of domestic production rate, technological level, and market validation.
It’s worth noting that, amid shortages of robots from foreign brands this year, STEP SCARA and six-axis robots The delivery period has remained consistently stable at 30 days, helping to bring lithium-ion battery production capacity to fruition. Vice President Wang Gangzhi explained the reasons behind STEP rapid delivery performance. The STEPeng Robotics Superfactory, located in Shanghai, is one of the first 20 smart factories in Shanghai and was awarded by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology in 2021. National Smart Manufacturing Demonstration Factory Title: The factory has adopted advanced... Automation, digitization, and intelligentization means, in Technical support, production capacity control, quality control In various aspects, it enjoys the trust of customers. Since going into operation in 2020, this factory has now reached a mature and well-established operational stage. Coupled with its facility located in Shenzhen, the company’s production capacity of 20,000 units per year is already fully prepared. Meanwhile, STEPeng has established a decentralized presence across multiple locations—including Shanghai, Shenzhen, Hangzhou, and Kunshan—enabling it to better respond to uncertainties arising from the domestic epidemic situation that year and maintain strong delivery capabilities. Faced with the global chip shortage, STEPeng is not only increasing its inventory but also actively promoting the localization of chip production.
Vice President Wang Gangzhi emphasized that the STEPeng service and support system is well-established and provides... 24/7 consulting, zero-downtime spare parts, training, on-site operation and maintenance, upgrade services, and full-lifecycle maintenance. These services help lithium battery companies jointly address the challenging issues arising from the rapid expansion of production capacity.
Vice President Wang Gangzhi shared STEP Robot’s applications in scenarios such as visual picking and loading of energy storage battery cells, as well as high-speed, high-precision cell stacking machines, and highlighted key aspects. STEP Xia'ao’s 30-year experience in white-body system integration “We have been collaborating with automakers such as Geely, BYD, Great Wall, and Hozon Auto for many years and have delivered numerous white-body welding lines. Today, integrated lithium-battery body structures are becoming a major trend. STEPao Xia’ao is eager to leverage our years of accumulated expertise in white-body and chassis technologies, growing together with new-energy vehicle manufacturers and delivering projects with zero technological risks.”
Note: TWh stands for TeraWatt Hour(s), meaning: 100 million kilowatt-hours.
