Exploring intelligent breakthroughs in module/PACK production lines

　　As the marketization turning point of new energy vehicles emerges, vehicle-grade, digital, and intelligent manufacturing have become important issues in the development of power battery manufacturing.

　　On December 16, the "2019 Gaogong Lithium Battery & Electric Vehicle Annual Conference" was held grandly at the Hyatt Regency Shenzhen Airport Hotel. As the largest and most attended annual event in the lithium battery and electric vehicle industry, the event attracted more than 800 corporate executives from the entire new energy vehicle industry chain including materials, equipment, batteries, BMS, PACK, complete vehicles, and operation and leasing.

　　At the meeting, Wu Qianli, general manager of Pilot Intelligent Automotive Production Line Division, gave a keynote speech on "New Explorations in Module PACK Production Line Planning and Design", focusing on the systematic application of digital technology, synchronous engineering development and stable high-automation technology application. Leading Intelligence's cutting-edge technology exploration and a large number of practical cases in the field of module PACK production lines were introduced in depth.

　　In terms of the systematic application of digital technology, Pioneer Intelligence has achieved breakthroughs in two major directions. In the planning and design process, we first use factory-level modeling and simulation planning, digital simulation verification of workstation processes, and CAE analysis of equipment design to get rid of empirical design and extensive design and realize digital design, scientific design, and lean design. In the implementation and operation process, virtual reality and virtual debugging technology are widely used. In particular, big data analysis technology is introduced to get rid of the traditional extensive method of only counting TOP failure and pass rates for equipment failures, and deeply explore the value behind the data to achieve in-depth analysis and intelligent prediction of equipment failures, helping customers build Industry 4.0 factories.

　　Wu Qianli said that factory-level modeling and simulation can simulate the entire line linkage, analyze production line rhythm, bottleneck station conditions, optimize logistics routes, calculate the optimal number of AGVs, and calculate and optimize warehouse utilization to reduce stacking. The number of machines and storage locations, etc.

　　"During the implementation process, Leading Intelligence used joint virtual debugging of the entire line to associate the virtual space model with the electrical program to more intuitively and effectively verify the program operation effect. The program logic was adjusted in a timely manner during the design phase to shorten debugging time."

　　In terms of synchronous engineering development, based on the process parameters of customers' battery products, Leading Intelligence assists customers in optimizing process parameter design through dimensional chain analysis. Regarding product parameters, Leading Intelligence assists customers in formulating key product parameters from an equipment perspective through manufacturability analysis.

　　"Based on synchronous engineering development, Pioneer assists customers in optimizing design from an equipment perspective and reducing costs during PACK product development and process formulation," Wu Qianli emphasized.

　　In terms of the application of stable high-automation technology, the philosophy of Leading Intelligence is that automation must not be automated for the sake of automation. Automation must create value for customers. Certain product compatibility must be considered, especially to ensure stability. If stability is lost, Due to the labor savings and improved efficiency due to high automation, it may be converted into production shutdown losses and equipment maintenance personnel.

　　Equipment automation must be realized on the basis of product compatibility, simplicity and reliability, logistics transfer automation, intelligent quality inspection and even prediction, information system interconnection, etc.

　　Among them, in terms of manufacturing equipment automation, Leading Intelligence provides customers with the highest automation rate of module production lines > 96%, and the highest automation rate of PACK production lines > 50% (30JPH), leading the industry.

　　Products are compatible with the automation level. Pioneer's intelligent PACK production line is compatible with five products, with a changeover time of less than 20 minutes and supports reuse.

　　At the level of logistics transfer automation, Pioneer Intelligence can realize the automation of the entire logistics process, avoid manual intervention errors, facilitate logistics management, and reduce labor costs.

　　At the intelligent quality inspection level, through big data and deep learning, the defect recognition rate and classification model are improved, effectively improving product quality and inspection efficiency.

　　At the information system interconnection level, MES, WCS, WMS and other information systems are interconnected, the production process is transparent, and fault diagnosis is performed in real time.

　　Wu Qianli concluded that the philosophy of Leading Intelligence is focus, perfection, reputation, and speed. In the era of Industry 4.0, Pioneer Intelligence relies on its strong research and development capabilities to continuously develop new equipment and new technologies, lead the trend of intelligent manufacturing, and be customer-centered to become a world-class intelligent manufacturing overall solution service provider.
