Riding the New Energy Wave, Empowering Global Expansion | How to Break Through in the Second Half of the Lithium Battery Era?
On June 18, the Shenzhen Battery Industry Association's 'Building New Quality Productivity · Supporting High-Quality Development of Private Enterprises' event series visited Shenzhen Capchem Technology, promoting high-quality development in the new energy battery industry chain, discussing new opportunities for industry globalization, and planning for a new future. Getech was invited to attend and delivered a keynote speech, sharing insights on how the lithium battery industry can achieve breakthroughs through smart manufacturing and global expansion.

"The lithium battery industry has entered the second half, accelerating reshuffling." On one hand, domestic battery growth has slowed, with many new projects paused or canceled; in 2023, the capacity utilization rate of power batteries was only 41% (data from China Automotive Battery Industry Alliance). On the other hand, global demand for new energy vehicles and energy storage continues to rise. Influenced by these factors, Chinese lithium battery companies are accelerating their global expansion. In this context, lithium battery companies are strengthening internal capabilities through R&D innovation, supply chain layout, cost reduction, efficiency improvement, and ESG, driving innovation and transformation. Competition in the lithium battery industry has intensified, making manufacturing cost reduction increasingly critical. Learning from the semiconductor industry, while domestic self-sufficiency has improved, it has also led to oversupply. Under conditions of full load, high yield rates, and full production and sales, digitalization must be prioritized. Applications like industrial internet can help achieve极致 yield, efficiency, and cost reduction. Meanwhile, through overseas capacity布局, more lithium battery companies are participating in global competition. In this process, smart manufacturing capability has become a key enabler, requiring companies to adopt a comprehensive, systematic perspective, establishing standard architectures in IT and equipment to achieve global expansion with lower investment, shorter cycles, and reduced risks. Getech highlighted several key breakthrough points: Ensuring equipment and process stability: Through data-driven production control, process and quality optimization, and integrated equipment engineering management, improve process and quality stability to achieve high-quality capacity. Energy saving, carbon reduction, and ESG compliance: Deeply integrate into energy usage scenarios, combining management and technical reforms, using AI to enable energy optimization; manage and reduce carbon emissions to enhance ESG performance. Rapid replication and ramp-up of new factories: Incorporate smart manufacturing concepts early, forming a series of standards for new factory construction, shortening the construction and ramp-up time for domestic and overseas new factories. Orderly and compliant global expansion: Based on the legal policies, language, and cultural requirements of target regions,布局 and expand in a more compliant and forward-looking manner. As a globally competitive new energy digitalization service provider, Getech will leverage digital technology and practical experience to help more lithium battery companies strengthen their internal capabilities, win in the second half, and achieve sustainable growth. Relying on standardized platforms, industrial applications, and industry solutions, Getech addresses multiple scenarios such as production, equipment, quality, energy, and logistics, providing smart factory solutions for lithium battery companies, offering end-to-end services from whole-plant consulting and planning to system software implementation. Currently, Getech's services cover the entire new energy industry chain, providing tailored smart manufacturing solutions for domestic and international enterprise clients, creating multiple industry benchmark cases, and supporting the intelligent and green sustainable development of the new energy industry.
