The Necessity of Intelligent Warehousing Transformation in the New Energy Industry

 Driven by global energy structure transformation and "dual-carbon" goals, industries such as lithium batteries, photovoltaics (PV), and hydrogen energy have entered a new phase of scaled development.



 Traditional warehousing models struggle to meet surging production demands, revealing four core challenges:

1. Strict Storage Requirements for Specialized Materials

  • Lithium battery raw materials (electrolytes/separators) require constant temperature and humidity control.

  • PV silicon wafers demand dustproof and anti-vibration environments.

  • Hydrogen storage/transport equipment necessitates real-time pressure monitoring.
    Manual management fails to ensure 24/7 precision.

2. Urgent Need for Production Synergy Efficiency
Fluctuations in new energy vehicle orders (up to 300%) expose mismatches between traditional warehousing throughput and flexible production cycles, causing:

  • 15%-20% decline in raw material readiness rates

  • 30+ minutes/day of production line downtime due to material shortages

3. Mandatory Quality Traceability Systems
EU’s new battery regulations enforce cell-level lifecycle tracking, while paper-based records face:

  • 12-24-hour data latency

  • Error rates of 0.5%-1.2%

4. Land Resource Utilization Bottlenecks
Top lithium battery manufacturers require 3,000㎡ warehouse space per GWh capacity. Intelligent 3D warehousing solutions achieve:

  • 400% higher storage density

  • Added output value of ¥80,000-100,000 per ㎡

Industry Benchmark Case Studies

Case 1: Lithium Battery Leader’s Smart Warehouse (CATL)

  • 20-meter-high automated warehouse stores 500,000 battery cells

  • 5G+AMR robots achieve 99.99% inventory accuracy

  • Digital twin technology reduces inventory turnover days to 7

Case 2: PV Module Intelligent Logistics (LONGi Green Energy)

  • Industry’s first GW-level smart warehouse

  • Vision-guided robotic sorting reduces silicon wafer breakage from 0.8% to 0.12%

  • 70% decrease in logistics labor costs

Case 3: Hydrogen Equipment Smart Park (SPIC)

  • Pressure vessel monitoring platform with automated hydrogen filling

  • Safety alerts resolved within 30 seconds

  • 40% lower operational costs


Industry Upgrade Recommendations

  1. Strategic Planning: Integrate intelligent warehousing into new facility standards

  2. Technology Prioritization: Deploy WMS/WCS as core systems

  3. Data Standardization: Establish national material coding systems

  4. Ecosystem Development: Cultivate specialized third-party maintenance providers
