• Recycling: Automated sorting of used batteries.
Solutions for Lithium-ion Battery Whole Line Logistics

Focused on the new energy production line, LEAD provides full scenario and full process digital intelligent logistics solutions for intelligent manufacturing. It has over 120 cell production lines and has gained orders worth 100Gwh. The solutions for Lithium-ion battery full-line logistics include logistics of upstream raw material warehouses, workshop electrode warehouses, battery cell segments, latter stage of formation and capacity grading, as well as logistics of finished product warehouses and modules and packs.
The company provides solutions for Lithium-ion battery full-line logistics and warehousing, realizing end-to-end unmanned operation and flexible logistics flow with intelligent logistics
equipment. It has built a digital system for the entire factory, reducing carbon emissions by 3.5 billion tons, as an effort to build a zero carbon factory.
Besides, the solutions cover all cell processes (including prismatic cells, pouch cells, cylindrical cells, Sodium ion batteries, solid state batteries, etc.).
Compared to conventional logistics production lines, LEAD has, through intelligent manufacturing and digital logistics, reduced comprehensive human efficiency costs by 30% and increased the automation rate by 50%, reducing the difficulty of management decision-making and solution deployment costs.
Comparison Table of LEAD vs others
LEAD business scope covers the solution for whole factory intelligent logistics system of all types of lithium-ion battery cells including prismatic/pouch/cylindrical/Sodium ion/solid state/condensed battery cells, etc.
The solutions include AS/RS of all types (raw material warehouses /pancake warehouses/finished product warehouses /module and pack warehouses, etc.), material transfer between single machines in the early stage of lithium-ion battery production, logistics of formation and capacity grading, sorting and packing system, flexible AGV distribution system, information management system, etc.
To address the problem of high energy consumption costs overseas, LEAD proposed a solution of intelligent electric roller driving with strong torque and low energy consumption, which reduces energy consumption by 50%; besides, it developed highly energy-saving stacker cranes with energy feedback system, reducing energy consumption by 10%-20%.
Independently-developed intelligent software systems.
The information management system FMS of formation and capacity grading has multiple functions, including data acquisition, recipe management, quality management, cell interception, multidimensional report, information tracing, big data processing, etc.;
The logistics management system LMS features various functions, such as graphic configuration interface, real-time monitoring, process management, flexible dispatch of equipment commands, display of multidimensional reports, etc.;
The control system WCS supports PLC of multiple brands, docking of multi communication protocols, mixed line production, flexible production, real-time monitoring, etc.
Independently developed multiple intelligent technology applications. Through simulation and debugging, WMS/WCS and PLC control programs are integrated into the simulation model to simulate production. By doing so, we can identify logistics bottlenecks, and verify and optimize scheduling and control logic, figuring out the most efficient or cost-effective solution.
Through the combination of the Internet of Things and big data, intelligent scheduling can be achieved, resulting in a 30% increase in warehouse turnover efficiency. Use of 3D twin technology enables visualization, real-time monitoring, optimized design, and fault diagnosis.
Considerable experience in overseas projects, including experience in overseas product compliance, application of components, mechanical design, electrical/software design, transportation and packaging, on-site installation and construction, compliance management, geopolitics and cultural difference, etc.
No other company in the industry can provide intelligent logistics solutions that cover all types of cells;
Most of the solutions that other companies are providing are for prismatic, pouch and cylindrical cell production lines.
Less attention has been paid to the overseas energy consumption costs.
Having not optimized the design of core products from an energy-saving perspective.
Few engagement in energy feedback systems.
Hardware and software outsourced to multiple manufacturers, resulting in low efficiency;
Equipment malfunction due to different standards;
Slow response.
Integration vendors rarely apply digital twin and analog simulation technologies, resulting in long project construction cycles.
Lack of experience in overseas projects and experience of working with overseas suppliers.
