After years of deep cultivation, STEP has gradually shown its profound "technology flow" style in the lithium power industry, rapidly switching from "rhythm running" to "acceleration running", and standing out in the high-growth intelligent manufacturing market of lithium power. Where does it come from? Wang Gangzhi, vice president of STEP, spoke at the 2022 high-tech lithium Intelligent Manufacturing Summit and revealed the answer to the question.
On the afternoon of June 16, 2022, in Changzhou Jintan Maoshan International Conference Center, Wang Gangzhi, vice president of STEP, delivered a keynote speech entitled "Efficient Intelligent Manufacturing, Power TWh Era". He introduced the core technology and product line layout of STEP in lithium industry to more than 500 industry partners, and shared practical experience and customer cases.
With the rapid growth of both the new energy vehicle and energy storage markets, the demand for power batteries will soar, ushering in the era of TWh. In this context, lithium head enterprises drive the whole industry surge in production expansion, in order to mass produce high-efficiency, high-quality batteries, intelligent manufacturing is increasingly favored by the market.
As the world's leading intelligent manufacturing overall solution provider, STEP has formed a set of intelligent manufacturing solutions of the whole industrial chain for the production links of power battery processing, such as "production engineering, core manufacturing engineering, chemical component volume, module assembly and PACK line", as well as the downstream welding line of the body in white.
Wang Gangzhi, vice president, said that STEP integrated motion control, robotics and intelligent manufacturing, and jointly launched intelligent manufacturing solutions for the whole industry chain of lithium electric, which has made great progress in the industry of lithium electric and new energy vehicles. Long-term accumulation is constantly creating value for customers:
· SC series PAC supports MES access, and its self-developed tension algorithm can be applied in the lithium industry;
· ω 6 series servo drive has high-speed probe and other functions, which is a new generation of "standard import, beyond import" products;
· The load of STEP robot products is 3kG-600kg, with a total of 45 models, which has been widely recognized in terms of localization rate, technical level and market validation.
It is worth mentioning that when foreign brand robots are out of stock this year, the delivery time of STEP SCARA and six-axis robots is kept at 30 days, which helps the production capacity of lithium electricity industry to land. Wang Gangzhi, vice president, explained the reason for the rapid delivery of STEP. STEP super robot factory is located in Shanghai, is one of the first 20 smart factory in Shanghai, in 2021 won the ministry of industry and awarded the title of "national intelligent manufacturing demonstration plant", the factory USES the advanced automated, digital, intelligent means, in the technical support, production control, quality control, etc., worth customer trust. The plant has been in operation since 2020 and is now fully integrated. With the addition of the Shenzhen plant, the 20,000 units/year capacity is ready. At the same time, STEP was distributed in Shanghai, Shenzhen, Hangzhou, Kunshan and other places to cope with the uncertainties of the epidemic in China and maintain a good delivery capacity. In the face of global chip shortage, STEP is actively promoting the localization of chips while increasing its inventory.
Vice President Wang Gangzhi emphasized that STEP has a perfect service guarantee system and provides 7*24 consultation, zero-stop spare parts, training, on-site operation and maintenance, upgrade services, full-cycle maintenance and other services to help lithium enterprises jointly cope with the difficult problems encountered in the rapid expansion of production capacity.
Vice President Wang Gangzhi shared the application of STEP robot in the scene of energy storage battery cell visual grasping and feeding, high-speed and high-precision laminator, etc., and mainly introduced the 30 years' experience of BIW system integration of STEP Xiaoao. "We have cooperated with Geely, BYD, Great Wall, Chinese Express and other auto companies for many years, and delivered a number of body-in-white welding production lines. Today, the integration of lithium battery body has become a trend. SHX Da Xiao Ao is willing to play the technical precipitation in the body in white and chassis for many years, grow together with new energy vehicle enterprises, and achieve zero technical risk delivery."
