The popularity of new energy vehicles is high, and the supply and demand of high-end lithium battery equipment are both strong. In July 2017, the sales volume of new energy vehicles increased by 56% year-on-year, and the cumulative sales volume increased by 15% year-on-year. What is the current status of lithium battery equipment? From August 17-18, the "2017 China New Energy Vehicle Industry Ecological Conference and the 6th China Lithium Battery New Energy Industry Ecological Summit," jointly organized by Lithium Battery Big Data and Electric Vehicles and co-organized by Qidian Research, was grandly opened at the Langham Hotel in Shenzhen. More than 1000 senior executives from the industry of new energy vehicles and lithium batteries gathered together to discuss the future of the industry.

Lin Wansheng, Vice Chairman of Chaoye Precision, delivered a keynote speech on "Choosing a Growth Path for Lithium Battery Equipment Enterprises."

Lin Wansheng introduced that typical equipment in the mid-stage of lithium battery manufacturing includes fully automatic stacking machines, stacking machines, ear welding machines, casing packaging machines, vacuum drying lines, vacuum injection machines, DEGAS forming machines, etc.

Chaoye Precision focuses on automated equipment for the mid-stage of lithium battery manufacturing. Based on the team's fifteen years of engineering and service experience in the lithium battery equipment industry, Chaoye Precision has become one of the main suppliers of mid-stage lithium battery manufacturing equipment in China. The company is a high-tech enterprise in Guangdong Province, holds a number of core patents in the field of lithium battery equipment, and was selected as one of the top ten brands of lithium battery equipment in 2016. Chaoye Precision has currently formed a high-end lithium battery product series that covers the mid-stage and integrates both software and hardware.

Regarding the choice of lithium battery equipment routes, Lin Wansheng listed four major directions.

First is deep cultivation and fine optimization of single machines. The advantages of this direction include effective accumulation of technology; being able to control the upstream supply of original components, maintain inventory of parts, reduce costs, and shorten delivery times, which is particularly suitable for manufacturing equipment that is not directly related to battery product specifications. However, in the manufacturing end, the market capacity for single machines is limited, restricting enterprise development; on the client side, individual negotiations are required during procurement, making business complex; the standards for connecting machines, installation, and acceptance are not uniform, and service and technical support are scattered; production turnover jigs and fixtures cannot be uniformly arranged.

Secondly, acquisition, assembly and provision of complete lines. The advantages of this direction are rapid scale development and market share grabbing; facilitating overall procurement negotiations with clients. The disadvantages are inconsistent specifications and quality of single machines, difficult to unify electromechanical software interfaces; difficulty for the main integrating company to vertically control technology and equipment quality; relatively loose and unstable technical relationships among subsidiaries, posing risks for users.

Thirdly, Single brand, complete section provision 。 Advantages: technology control and standard control; increased on-site service strength of installation and after-sales service personnel; single supply, unified planning, unified design, unified installation, unified warranty, unified service, and model change standards; complete debugging before shipment, ensuring the customer's production plan. Disadvantages: Requires a stronger engineering design and technology development team; affects the early development speed of the company.

Fourth is to build on expertise and expand horizontally. This route is most advisable: combining 3C and power, soft packs and hard shells; although the process specifications are different, the engineering technology is interoperable; there is no fixed number of routes for soft packaging and hard shell rectangular packaging, each has the needs of a segmented market; relying on new technologies to develop horizontally into adjacent industries.
