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 ㎡
