From March 11 to 13, InterBattery, one of Asia’s three major battery industry exhibitions, was held in Seoul, South Korea.
Lead Intelligent Equipment (hereafter referred to as LEAD) made a high-profile appearance under the theme of a technology breakthrough enabler, presenting a range of intelligent manufacturing solutions that combine technological innovation with strong commercial value. The company’s offerings attracted wide attention and strong recognition from global industry partners.
At the exhibition, LEAD showcased core products and integrated solutions spanning three major segments: power batteries, energy storage, and all-solid-state batteries—highlighting its robust technological capabilities and full value-chain empowerment across multiple application scenarios. Among them, LEAD’s dry mixing and coating system stood out for its technical innovation and commercial viability. Closely aligned with global sustainability and circular economy priorities, the system was awarded the exhibition’s Best Equipment of the Year, becoming the first overseas-developed product in the event’s history to receive this honor—underscoring the growing global influence of China’s high-end equipment manufacturing sector.
Advancing Early Positioning in the Energy Storage Sector
Full-Stack Intelligent Manufacturing Solutions Empower Long-Duration Energy Storage
As large-capacity, long-duration energy storage enters a phase of rapid expansion, scalable, high-quality, and intelligent manufacturing of storage systems is emerging as a key competitive frontier across the industry. Leveraging its end-to-end integrated line engineering capabilities, LEAD has introduced a full-stack intelligent manufacturing solution for large-scale energy storage applications. Covering the entire production process—from cell manufacturing to final assembly of storage cabinets—the solution enables customers to accelerate deployment and secure an early advantage in the fast-growing energy storage market through LEAD’s proven turnkey delivery capabilities.
Designed specifically for large-format energy storage cells exceeding 500Ah capacity, the solution adopts automotive-grade manufacturing standards. Cleanliness levels inside the equipment can reach up to Class 5, ensuring battery safety and reliability from the source. The production line delivers an overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) exceeding 75%, a first-pass yield rate of 93%, and a total yield rate of 96%, providing strong support for large-scale mass production.
At the same time, an intelligent assembly system developed for heavy-duty module and PACK applications enables 100% automated logistics handling, ensuring stable transport and high-precision positioning of large-capacity heavy-duty PACK units. Critical processes are completed through fully automated robotic operations, significantly enhancing consistency, operational stability, and long-term reliability of energy storage systems under high-load working conditions.
Expanding into the All-Solid-State Battery Segment
Advancing Core Technologies to Enable GWh-Scale Commercialization
While continuing to strengthen its leadership in conventional lithium-ion battery manufacturing, LEAD is accelerating its strategic deployment in the all-solid-state battery segment. The company has introduced a GWh-scale turnkey manufacturing solution for all-solid-state batteries and continues to achieve key technological breakthroughs across critical process stages, including dry electrode preparation, lithium metal anode processing, solid-state electrolyte membrane fabrication, sheet forming, stacking, and interface enhancement.
Among its latest innovations, LEAD’s circulating kneading disperser integrates high-efficiency kneading, precision dispersion, and closed-loop temperature control into a single system, enabling one-step processing from powder raw materials to highly uniform lithium battery slurry. The equipment demonstrates strong adaptability to high-viscosity materials and supports low-temperature, non-destructive molecular-level dispersion. This ensures slurry quality and stability at the source while significantly improving production efficiency. The system operates with a dispersion line speed below 25 m/s and a slurry preparation time of less than two hours, while supporting online circulating defoaming at –95 kPa—substantially improving overall production throughput.
To address the challenges associated with large-scale commercialization of all-solid-state batteries, LEAD is advancing coordinated improvements in production efficiency, product yield, and equipment reliability through its high-efficiency intelligent manufacturing approach. Its integrated frame-lamination and stacking system achieves a single-station stacking speed of 0.35 seconds per piece and an overall electrode alignment accuracy of ±0.3 mm, laying a solid foundation for the industrial-scale production of all-solid-state batteries.
Strengthening the Safety Foundation of Battery Manufacturing
Large-Model Algorithms and AI Enable Micron-Level Precision Insight
As the industry enters the TWh era, large-scale delivery requirements are placing increasingly stringent demands on both inspection efficiency and precision. In response, LEAD has developed a comprehensive portfolio of intelligent inspection solutions tailored to diverse application scenarios, including 3D vision measurement, AI-based defect recognition, X-ray inspection, and industrial CT systems—providing robust safeguards for battery safety and quality assurance.
LEAD’s non-destructive industrial CT inspection system is compatible with multiple battery formats and supports full-area inspection of battery cells without disassembly, enabling comprehensive detection of internal defects while eliminating the risks associated with conventional sampling-based inspection methods.
The system incorporates proprietary artifact correction and image enhancement technologies, improving image clarity by 200%. Combined with large-model architectures and big-data-driven algorithm optimization, the system achieves detection accuracy of up to 0.01 mm and improves inspection capability by 30%. Operating at a high-speed throughput of 15 ppm, it delivers an overkill rate below 0.3% with zero missed detections, establishing a highly precise quality-control barrier across the entire production process.
As global new energy applications continue expanding into emerging scenarios such as large-scale energy storage and AI data centers, LEAD remains committed to a dual-engine strategy combining technology-driven innovation with scenario-based deployment. By focusing on industry pain points and evolving market demands, the company continues to introduce efficient, energy-saving, and intelligent manufacturing solutions.
Looking ahead, LEAD will continue to deepen innovation-driven development and work closely with global partners to shape the future of the new energy ecosystem—contributing to the next chapter of advanced intelligent manufacturing on the world stage.
