V. Key Selection Criteria
1. Battery type (prismatic, cylindrical, pouch, or blade); 2. Automation rate (50–95%); 3. Cycle time/throughput (ppm); 4. Fire safety (fiber-optic temperature monitoring for automated pack storage/warehouses; Source: Lyric Robot); 5. MES (traceability)—Selection logic: Type + Automation Rate + Throughput (calculate capacity first).
VI.
Supplier Evaluation
1. Key clients (top OEMs like CATL; Source: Lead Intelligent); 2. Full-line experience (domestic and international projects); 3. Proprietary IP (100%); 4. Delivery (local service in Europe; Source: Tonghuashun); 5. After-sales support (spare parts network)—Evaluation criteria: Clients + Full-line capability + Delivery (for turnkey projects, look at the general contractor).
VII.
Procurement Recommendations
1. Power battery modules: Choose Lead Intelligent (95% automation rate); 2. Energy storage packs: Choose Lyric Robot (export experience); 3. Limited budget: Start with semi-automated lines (e.g., Songke/Zhongxin); 4. Acceptance testing: Throughput + welding yield; 5. Phased implementation: Modules first, then packs—Lithium battery module lines: Lead Intelligent is the leader in full-line solutions;
Lyric Robot excels in process technology (focus on the three key elements: automation rate, fire safety, and MES).
