Pallet conveyor line in 3 industries: lithium / automotive / logistics case analysis

In the wave of industrial automation, pallet conveying line is "invisible artery" role to reshape productivity. In this paper, through the lithium-ion, automotive, logistics industry, three real cases, analysis of how to use technology to crack the production bottleneck.

​Lithium industry: how to solve the problem of dust pollution and overweight? _Heavy-duty speed chain + three-dimensional conveying solutions​

​sore pointLithium battery production has strict cleanliness requirements, and battery cells need to be transported to prevent metal dust contamination; 300kg or more battery modules are easily transported, leading to production line jams.
​prescription::

  • ​Dustproof design: Stainless steel rubber-coated rollers + guards for physical isolation of dust, and automatic sweeping devices for conveyor lines (Canaan Fitch programme).
  • ​Heavy Duty Speed Chain: Wei Chuang Customised 12B Speed Chain Conveyor Line, Single Pallet Load 300kg, Built-in Chain to Prevent Foreign Objects from Stalling (Wei Chuang Case)
  • ​Three-dimensional conveying systems: Beguide Intelligence adopts an air-suspended platform in its European lithium-ion factory to transport core structural components across floors, saving floor space 40% (Beguide Project)
    ​efficacyA lithium power plant in East China after the transformation of the dust pollution by 80%, battery loss rate reduced by 80%, production efficiency increased by 35%

​Automotive manufacturing: How to achieve millimetre assembly precision? _U-shaped layout + high-temperature chain technology​

​sore point: The assembly of automotive parts requires ±0.5mm positioning accuracy; welding and painting processes need to withstand high temperature environments of 150℃.
​prescription::

  • ​High precision positioningSynchronous belt conveyor line with stopper, positioning error ≤0.1mm (Wei Chuang Data)
  • ​U-shaped production line design: 40-metre long conveyor line with curved layout and integrated jacking swivel to reduce workpiece transfer distance 60% (Wei Chuang case)
  • ​High-temperature resistant chain systemsSpecial coated speed chain runs stably for 8 minutes at 150±10°C, solving the problem of conveying in the drying section (case data).
    ​efficacy: A motor assembly line realises fully automated production, with error rates approaching zero, and overseas factory replication costs reduced by 30%.

​Logistics warehousing: how to cope with the pressure of burst order sorting? _ Intelligent distribution + space optimisation system​

​sore point: The single-day handling volume during the e-commerce promotion surged by 300%; the high cost of storage space in first-tier cities.
​prescription::

  • ​RFID+WMS Intelligent Sorting: Trays bound to electronic labels, the system automatically identifies distribution paths, sorting efficiency up to 1,800 trays/hour (Goodyear case)
  • ​Multi-level shuttle systems:: Canaan Feiqi designed 3-layer three-dimensional conveyor line, implemented layer-by-layer classification management of pallets, and increased warehousing density by 50% (Canaan programme)
  • ​Dynamic route optimisation: Adjustment of conveyor paths based on real-time order data to cope with multi-variety mixed line picking (with pallet carrier system)
    ​efficacyAfter the renovation of a logistics centre, the space utilization rate increased by 70% and the misclassification rate decreased from 3% to 0.2%.

​Industry common technology breakthrough​

  • ​Antistatic designMianxin develops permanent anti-static belts with friction voltage <50V, guaranteeing damage-free transport of automotive electronic components (Mianxin Technology)
  • ​Intelligent Monitoring System: Weidmüller Distributed I/O for real-time monitoring of 3,000 points and 20 times faster fault response (Weidmüller Solution)
  • ​Flexible scalabilityModular design supports quick adjustment of conveyor paths, reducing line changeover time to 2 hours (Wei Chuang Data)

Today's pallet conveyor lines have gone beyond basic handling functions to becomedata carrier(real-time collection of pallet location, device status) with thedecision centre(Dynamic optimisation of paths based on traffic flow). With the penetration of AI visual positioning and digital twin technology, the next three years will usher in the "intelligent transport" outbreak, lithium industry may be the first to achieve 100% unmanned pallet scheduling.
