The 9th International Summit on Power Battery Applications (CBIS2024), with Lyric as title sponsor, has come to a successful conclusion

The 9th International Summit on Power Battery Applications (CBIS2024), jointly organized by CIAPS and CBEA, was held in Shanghai. With the theme of ‘New · Integration - Creating a New Era of Industrial Cooperation’, the summit attracted the participation of various industry elites during November 18th to 20th, 2024. Guests included Mr. Wang Z., Secretary General of CIAPS; Ms. Zhang Y., Secretary General of Power Battery Application Branch; Mr. Cheng H. and Mr. Sun S., Academicians of Chinese Academy of Sciences; Dr. Liu J., Chairman of Power Battery Application Branch; Dr. Wang F., Dr. Wang Y., Dr. Cao H., Dr. Hu Q., Dr. L., Chief Scientist of CATARC, and other industry leaders and experts in China. Furthermore, multiple academicians from the CAS and CAE, as well as officials from the embassies and consulates of Sweden, Slovakia, the Philippines, Mexico, Germany and other countries, and the representatives of industrial chain enterprises in China, and more than 500 guests from domestic and overseas attended the conference.

As the title sponsor of the summit, Lyric demonstrated its outstanding achievements in the new energy industry in multiple important sessions.

On November 18th, Ms. Lu Miao (Louise), Vice-president of Lyric, mentioned that the theme of this year's conference is "New, Integration, Creating a New Era of Industrial Cooperation", and would like to talk about the present and future of Lyric with this theme.

As we all know, the current new energy industry is in the deep water of reshuffling, whether it is new energy vehicle enterprises, batteries, materials or equipment enterprises.

That's why many people are concerned about whether Lyric can survive or not. As a matter of fact, this is the same question that Mr. Zhou, President of Lyric, and I, as well as our decision-making team, are asking ourselves every day.

According to the financial report data from the first three quarters, Lyric is facing great challenges. However, behind the data, Lyric is also using the strength of toughness and upward force with the wisdom of breaking into a new situation. Around the product structure, customer structure, organizational structure, operational capacity to do basic honing, we are now coming out of the darkest moment.

"Thrive in calamity and perish in comfort ", so in a way, moderate competition (moderate involution) is forcing us to be better versions of ourselves.

In terms of innovation, we have been deeply cultivating around 7 platform technologies, which can also be called "root technologies". For instance, we have been investing in perception and detection, high-speed and high-precision control, artificial intelligence, laser technology, vacuum technology, vision technology, digital information technology, etc. In this regard, Lyric is very willing to spend money.

Moreover, our research institute has set up several laboratories related to battery process and equipment research, built prismatic, cylindrical and pouch cell verification line, as well as set up a vision laboratory, laser laboratory, power measurement and control laboratory, software control platform, and AMR, CTU, mobile robot training field, etc.

In the meanwhile, the power battery related equipment products such as coating machine, stacking machine, assembly line, formation testing, intelligent warehousing and logistics of the 5 core products are also constantly iterating, and our team is required to be technologically advanced and cost-competitive. In addition, the company in the solid-state battery line equipment development has been cultivated for 3.4 years. Recently, we have just received a purchase order from a leading company in China.

In addition to China, we also provide equipment and technical services to customers in 15 countries around the world (US, Canada, Japan, Korea, Hungary, Germany, Poland, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, India, Serbia, France, UK, Turkey). Of course, this also includes some of our past exports of equipment for automotive components.

In recent years, Lyric has not only established solid cooperative relationship with international famous enterprises such as Volkswagen, Samsung, Ford, Japan Aisin, LG, SKon, AESC, BWA, AMP, M&M, MVST, RPES, etc., but also repeatedly obtained purchase orders from leading enterprises such as ATL, BYD, CATL, GAC, Chang'an Automobile, Gotion, Sunwoda, Lishen Battery, SVOLT, Qingtao Energy, Yaoning Science & Technology, etc.

In my opinion, the internationalization of Chinese equipment has just begun. After all, China's new energy automobile industry has only been developed for more than a decade, while a mature technology industry has to have a cycle of at least 30-40 years or even longer, so we are just a ‘teenager’.

Of course, the industrial environment is still a bit fragmented and unsmooth due to the spread of protectionism and the increasing fragmentation of the world economy. In the international arena, all the links in our industry chain are important participants, or even leaders. Therefore, we have the responsibility to build a "community" image of China's new energy industry enterprises in front of the world. We have to work together for our common goal. Thus, the theme of this year's summit, "New, integration, creating a new era of industrial cooperation" is timely.

Lyric will play a more dynamic, inclusive and open role in this new phase, working with our Chinese counterparts, not just to compete for space, but to build our space in an inclusive way so that everyone can have access to what they need.

If the concept of competition is not properly criticized, it will turn us into individualists and make us lose sight of the common good. So I would like to invite all of you to think about a harmonious and truly prosperous future for the new energy industry. In this future world, we can share the fruits of our labor, realize and pursue leading-edge technology, new energy brings a better life, and all parties should obtain the necessary benefits of profound change.  

We will make a famous business card for China lithium equipment, such as made in Japan, made in Germany, as made in China. We will print the first one label for China's new energy vehicles, new energy batteries, new energy materials, new energy equipment.

Deepest blessings to us, Lyric, and to all of you, let's continue to create a new golden 30 years in the future together!

In the afternoon of the same day, in the "Advanced Battery Technology and Application" forum, Dr. Du, Director of Lyric Research Institute, gave a wonderful speech on the topic of "Solid-state Battery Process Analysis and Line Equipment", which provided an in-depth analysis of the key technologies of solid-state battery manufacturing and its solutions.

Dr. Du introduced in detail Lyric's innovative technology solutions in the field of solid-state battery manufacturing, including the whole process coverage from the experimental line to the pilot line. Especially for the dry electrode technology, Lyric has overcome the problems of material uniformity and consistency, and independently developed the core equipment, which has significantly enhanced the electrode performance. Lyric's electrode calendaring and electrolyte thermal compounding machine integrates a number of functions, which not only improves the battery energy density, charging and discharging efficiency and cycle life, but also ensures the uniformity and tightness of the electrolyte layer and enhances the ionic conductivity. In addition, Lyric has also introduced integrated frame printing and stacking machines as well as high-efficiency high-voltage formation and grading machine, all of which meet the high standards of mass production while emphasizing on safety and protection design.

In the afternoon on November 19th, during the new technology/new product conference, Dr. Du of Lyric, with the theme of "Intelligent Manufacturing for a Zero-Carbon Future", comprehensively demonstrated Lyric's innovations in various fields such as liquid battery equipment, solid-state battery equipment, laser equipment, automotive parts, intelligent warehouse and Haikui manufacturing, etc.

The summit has built a valuable communication platform for new energy enterprises such as Lyric, promoting knowledge sharing and technology innovation. Looking ahead, Lyric will continue to adhere to the concept of ‘Zero-Carbon Future through Intelligent Manufacturing’, deepen the industrial layout, increase the investment in the field of intelligent manufacturing, promote the domestic equipment to the world, and aspire to be the world's leading manufacturer of intelligent equipment, as well as continue to explore the new heights of the manufacturing of intelligent equipment.
