Recently, Lead Intelligent Equipment (hereafter referred to as LEAD) delivered more than 100 next-generation wide-web coating machines in bulk to a leading global provider of new energy application solutions and services.
These machines will be gradually deployed across the customer’s newly built and expanded production bases worldwide, providing critical equipment support for the global capacity expansion of its electric vehicle and energy storage businesses.
This large-scale, cross-regional delivery not only demonstrates LEAD’s strong capabilities in large-scale manufacturing and project delivery for high-end new energy equipment, but also marks a significant upgrade in the company’s global delivery network, localized service capabilities, and multi-scenario collaboration capacity—further strengthening its competitive position in the global new energy equipment market.
Global Capacity Expansion Accelerates
Core Equipment Becomes the Key to Unlocking Production Capacity
In recent years, the rapid expansion of the global electric vehicle industry and the explosive growth of the energy storage market have driven lithium–ion battery manufacturers and automotive OEMs to accelerate capacity deployment both domestically and internationally.As the industry enters the TWh-scale market era, core lithium–ion battery manufacturing equipment must meet increasingly demanding requirements—including rapid delivery, high efficiency, exceptional operational stability, intelligent operation, and low operating costs.
For this project, the leading battery manufacturer conducted a rigorous evaluation of global equipment suppliers across multiple dimensions, including R&D capabilities, process precision, supply chain efficiency, intelligent operation and maintenance, project management, and after-sales service systems.
Leveraging its comprehensive strengths—technology leadership, proven reliability, and efficient service capabilities—LEAD successfully stood out from the competition and was selected as the core supplier for more than 100 wide-web coating machines.
Multi-Dimensional Performance Breakthroughs
Building the Foundation for High-Efficiency Production
With its strong and well-established R&D capabilities in wide-web coating equipment, LEAD worked closely with the customer’s lithium–ion battery process engineering team to precisely align with the production requirements of next-generation high-energy-density battery cells.
Through continuous innovation in coating technology, LEAD achieved several key breakthroughs, delivering equipment capable of stable large-scale production with low failure rates, high stability, high efficiency, high precision, and reduced energy consumption.
Process Technology Upgrade
Equipped with a next-generation intelligent drying oven and newly developed drying technology, the system improves drying efficiency by 20%, significantly enhancing the stability and consistency of electrode quality.
Core Performance Optimization
Through higher levels of machining and assembly precision, the equipment’s overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) has improved by an additional 3%, further optimizing production performance.
Tackling Industry Challenges
The system successfully overcomes a long-standing industry challenge in high-speed wide-web coating—wrinkling and climbing issues during single-layer electrode coating—ensuring stable and continuous high-efficiency production.
Global Collaboration Drives Large-Scale Delivery
The delivery of more than 100 wide-web coating machines spans multiple newly built and expanded production bases worldwide for the customer. The project involves a large delivery volume and considerable complexity, requiring simultaneous adaptation to different factory layouts, process requirements, and localized production standards across regions. This placed extremely high demands on both supply chain resilience and technical coordination capabilities.
To ensure smooth project execution, Lead Intelligent Equipment (hereafter referred to as LEAD) adopted a dual-engine approach of “modular manufacturing + localized service”, enabling efficient global deployment and setting several new benchmarks in the industry.
Cross-Regional Coordinated Delivery
Simultaneous coordination with multiple production bases worldwide, effectively resolving challenges related to cross-regional delivery and multi-standard compatibility.
Dedicated Customized Service
A specialized global project management and coordination team was established to work on site with the customer, deeply aligning with operational requirements and delivering tailored equipment solutions to ensure seamless integration with production scenarios.
Rapid Response Mechanism
A 48-hour global rapid response system enables real-time synchronization between equipment adjustments and evolving battery production process requirements, ensuring efficient collaboration.
Integrated Resource Deployment
By fully integrating R&D, manufacturing, supply chain, and global service resources, LEAD significantly shortened both production and delivery cycles, ensuring commitments were fulfilled with high efficiency.
After years of dedicated development in wide-web coating technology, LEAD has achieved major breakthroughs in core equipment performance and process capabilities. These advancements have successfully addressed key challenges faced by lithium battery manufacturers during large-scale capacity expansion, including production ramp-up, equipment compatibility, and operational maintenance support.
The global batch delivery of more than 100 wide-web coating machines marks another major leap in LEAD’s delivery capability for coating equipment. This milestone not only further consolidates the company’s technological leadership in high-end new energy equipment, but also provides robust equipment support for customers pursuing efficient global capacity expansion.
More broadly, it represents a comprehensive demonstration of LEAD’s large-scale manufacturing strength, global delivery network, and full-lifecycle service capabilities.
Looking ahead, LEAD will continue to deepen its presence in the new energy equipment sector, further strengthening global resource integration and collaborative capabilities. With more advanced equipment, faster delivery, and more comprehensive services, the company aims to help customers unlock high-quality production capacity while injecting strong momentum into the sustainable development of the global new energy industry.
