Application of Beacon Robot’s Unmanned Forklifts in the Lithium Battery Industry

In accordance with the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology’s 14th Five-Year Plan for Green Industrial Development, new energy enterprises are required to reduce energy consumption and enhance production efficiency through automation and digitalization. Under the global carbon neutrality agenda, the lithium battery sector—at the core of the new energy industrial chain—has entered a phase of rapid expansion.

According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), global demand for power batteries is expected to increase fifteenfold by 2030, while demand for energy storage batteries is projected to grow thirtyfold. This immense market potential is compelling manufacturers to accelerate upgrades toward integrated, end-to-end, and fully automated production lines. In this transformation process, intelligent warehousing and logistics have become a critical breakthrough point for cost reduction and efficiency enhancement. Leveraging profound technical expertise and industry insight, Beacon Robot provides customized, one-stop intelligent logistics solutions for lithium battery manufacturers.
