As energy storage plays an increasingly vital role in the global energy transition, recent industry reports by InfoLink Consulting show promising growth in the sector. In the first half of 2024, global battery shipments reached 114.5 GWh, representing a year-over-year increase of 33.6%. This rapid expansion highlights the market's upward trajectory and the rising importance of reliable and efficient energy storage technologies. With more than 1,000 new energy storage projects launched in China during the same period, ATW Intelligent is positioned to capitalize on these growing opportunities both domestically and internationally.
Since entering the lithium battery industry in 2016, ATW Intelligent has taken proactive steps to develop advanced solutions across the energy storage value chain. The company established its energy storage module, PACK, and container assembly lines in 2018, aiming to serve a range of applications, from pilot testing and mass production to custom installations. These solutions integrate both hardware and software resources, undergoing multiple iterations and optimizations to significantly advance automation and technology. They exhibit exceptional flexibility and scalability, enabling seamless adaptation to the dynamic demands of the energy storage market.
The ESS Module Assembly Line leads the era of unmanned production, achieving an impressive overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) of 85% and a yield rate of 99.99%, thanks to refined welding processes. The ESS PACK Assembly Line is recognized for its high flexibility, with intelligent coordination of up to 500 AGVs (automated guided vehicles) to accommodate diverse production needs. Meanwhile, the ESS Container Assembly Line features a high degree of integration, with fully automated key stations that embody a balanced approach to efficiency and precision in manufacturing.
To date, ATW Intelligent has achieved extensive coverage across various sectors, including photovoltaics, wind power, batteries, PCS, and system integration, steadily integrating into the 'source-network-load' system. Whether for front-of-the-meter applications, residential, commercial, industrial storage, or charging stations, ATW has demonstrated strong adaptability and solution capabilities. More than 200 energy storage production lines have been shipped, cementing ATW's position as a important equipment supplier for energy storage companies. Notably, in 2023, four out of the top five global energy storage firms in China chose ATW as their partner, affirming its market presence and industry reputation.
As part of its strategic vision, ATW Intelligent has aggressively pursued a global market expansion. Over the recent years, the company has made primary strides in North America, Europe, and Southeast Asia, securing orders and increasing shipment volumes to these markets. This international growth is not only a testament to the quality and innovation of its products but also a reflection of ATW Intelligent's dedication to meeting the evolving challenges of the global energy landscape.
In addition, ATW Intelligent has been continuously refining its smart manufacturing capabilities. Its intelligent production lines incorporate data-driven manufacturing processes, enabling real-time monitoring, health assessments, production scheduling, and remote control. These advancements not only improve efficiency and product quality but also reduce human labor costs and the likelihood of errors, offering significant economic value to customers.
Looking ahead, ATW Intelligent is dedicated to advancing its energy storage solutions, continuously adapting to meet evolving global energy needs. By earning recognition from its clients, the company not only solidifies its reputation but also strengthens its commitment to being a trusted equipment supplier to energy companies around the world. This ongoing progress reflects ATW Intelligent’s broader efforts to support the global energy transition and push the boundaries of innovation in the industry.
