China's demand for lithium battery equipment surging

The rapid development of Lithium equipment market highlights the continuous deepening market advantages of domestic lithium battery equipment enterprises.

First of all, production capacity of power battery industries intensively have an outbreak, which promotes the demand surge of lithium battery equipment.

The rapid development of power battery has pulled on lithium battery industry, production value of leading companies has increased greatly. It is expected that in 2018 China's power battery equipment demand will reach 30 billion Yuan.

Importable alternative space is large. The localization rate of Lithium equipment is expected to continue to improve, especially the front-end and mid-end equipment, whose domestic production rate accounts for 25％ and imports rate accounts for 75%. Xiong Zongbao pointed out that in the field of front-end equipment, domestic battery manufacturers have begun to advance the process of localization, change the situation of importing the entire equipment into importing only a small number of key equipment.

Finally, national policy support. In April this year, the Ministry of Industry made it clear that in 2016 more than 60 intelligent manufacturing pilot demonstration projects have to be selected, in order to formate a number of intelligent manufacturing standards in key areas, continue to form and promote the new models of intelligent manufacturing.

In the case that new energy industry standards are not comfired, each company has different development program, but intelligence, large data and automation have been the confirmed development direction in the field of lithium equipment. Xiong Zongbao said that the essence of intelligent manufacturing is to help enterprises build a smart manufacturing system and a manufacturing brain.

But a single brain is not enough, if we want to fully realize unmanned manufacturing production, we also need to add some data especially user data and demand data, and change the data into energy, to maintain system operation. While the Internet industry has the unique advantages in the mastery of large data, so internet business is also a major direction of the development of new energy industry.

Insiders pointed out that currently, lithium battery equipment still have troubles in efficiency and accuracy. Large data reserves of the industry are not enough to support the equipment to achieve a comprehensive unmanned manufacturing system.
