Hikove Joins Hymson at CIBF 2026 to Present Ten Lithium Battery Manufacturing and Logistics Solutions

At the 18th China International Battery Fair (CIBF 2026) in Shenzhen, a major and highly influential battery industry event, Hymson's ten lithium battery manufacturing solutions attracted wide attention. Hikove, the Group's intelligent logistics brand, exhibited alongside, presenting total plant intelligent warehousing and logistics solutions for lithium battery factories to a professional audience and demonstrating how the Group's process equipment and material flow work as one integrated system. The meeting area was full throughout the show, making the stand one of the busiest in the manufacturing equipment hall.

Built on its core laser technology, Hymson covered the full lithium battery manufacturing process at this year's CIBF, with a focus on next-generation battery technology and flexible manufacturing for every cell format, showcasing its depth in high-end lithium battery equipment and the integration of digital and intelligent technology.

01 New Solutions for Pressing Industry Needs

The lithium battery industry has entered a new phase of quality-driven growth. Demand for energy storage is surging, power battery exports are rising fast and solid-state batteries are entering their first year of industrialization, all of which drives demand for efficient, flexible and intelligent manufacturing equipment.

Hymson responded with several breakthrough solutions aimed squarely at these needs:

High-speed stacking for every cell format: covers everything from very small consumer cells to very large energy storage cells, and from liquid-electrolyte to all-solid-state cells. Built on Hymson's laser technology, it performs well on precision, throughput, footprint and changeover cost. The single-station high-speed cutting and stacking machine is already shipping in volume to overseas customers.
Dry electrode solution: produces electrodes of 500 μm or more for ultra-high energy density, is compatible with solid-state battery materials, matches wet coating performance and significantly lowers cost per Wh. With lower capital cost, energy use and footprint, it is moving dry electrodes from pilot to volume production. Hymson's -60 °C ultra-low dew point laboratory is now in operation and supports dry electrode sampling and validation.
Module and pack line plus container solution: compatible with mainstream large-format cells such as 587 and 628 and with single- and double-row modules, supports non-stop production, one-click automatic changeover and mixed-recipe production, with overall line OEE above 85%, meeting the needs of both flexible and large-scale manufacturing.

02 Core Products Set New Benchmarks

Mid-stage assembly is the core of lithium battery manufacturing and Hymson's traditional strength. Several core products on display delivered excellent performance.

Fully automatic UV coating line: Developed in-house by Hymson, it replaces the conventional blue-film wrapping process and is already in volume production at leading customers. Laser cleaning throughput is 14,000 mm²/s or more with yield above 99.8%. The single-spray, single-cure process accepts a wide range of coating viscosities and holds film thickness to ±20 µm, with excellent uniformity and stability.
In-line CT inspection: designed for the inspection upgrade at the assembly stage, it rotates the imaging components while the cell stays fixed, avoiding secondary damage to the cell and protecting yield. It supports high-precision, high-speed in-line scanning and simultaneous inspection of cells on both sides, with throughput of 36 PPM or more, under 3 s per view and a false-call rate of 0.2% or less, sharply reducing the risk of defective cells escaping.
Fully automatic prismatic cell assembly line: covers both same-side tab plus single cover and double-side tab plus single cover process routes, for wound and stacked cells alike. With 40 PPM per line, it offers a complete solution from cell forming through to the end of baking.
In-house lasers: the MOPA and continuous-wave fiber lasers on display are the technical foundation of Hymson's lithium battery equipment, offering high electro-optical efficiency, excellent beam quality and high yield across every lithium battery process, with customization for specific customer applications.

Also on show were the all-format electrode solution (coating, calendering and slitting, high-speed laser die-cutting, laser surface treatment and high-speed winding) and the fully automatic solution for consumer steel-can cells. Both are Hymson's benchmark offerings for the lithium battery and 3C sectors, standing out for throughput, process precision and flexibility.

03 Digital Intelligence Supports Industry Upgrading

As the new energy industry moves toward the convergence of digital and intelligent technology, unmanned, fully automated production is becoming the norm. Hymson is focusing on system-level intelligent solutions to support this shift.

The intelligent warehousing and full-line logistics solution links the front, mid and back stages of the lithium battery factory and automates handling, transport, management and storage end to end. The in-house ALMS platform provides full-lifecycle traceability and, together with an active safety system and AIoT-based intelligent maintenance, scales flexibly and enables predictive maintenance to safeguard cell storage and line efficiency. Hymson's equipment maintenance system combines 3D visualization, AI and a knowledge base to close the maintenance loop across the whole line: 3D views of equipment status, process parameters and faults address the one-operator-many-machines challenge; AI-based health prediction prevents production faults; and digital closed-loop management turns experience into traceable digital assets that help engineers diagnose faults quickly and find solutions.

During the show Hymson also hosted an investor roadshow and a series of technical seminars on laser applications, solid-state battery processes and intelligent manufacturing, exchanging views on technology trends and partnership opportunities with customers and industry experts from around the world.

Building on eighteen years of experience as a well-known supplier of lithium battery equipment, Hymson is moving with confidence into a more diversified, international phase. It will keep exploring frontier technology and pushing the boundaries of laser applications to grow together with partners worldwide in the industry's next cycle.
