For China's photovoltaic industry, 2021 is not only the beginning of the "14th Five-Year Plan", but also the first year of grid parity for photovoltaic power generation. Under the national strategic goals of carbon peak in 30 and carbon neutrality in 60, new energy has been given a new historical mission, and the photovoltaic industry has become one of the tracks with the strongest certainty of future growth.
At the starting point of this track, innovation and change are also taking place in the photovoltaic equipment industry. Under the demand for innovative and large-scale production, the equipment industry is also developing in the direction of integration, intelligence, and digitalization, and intelligent manufacturing upgrades will inevitably become the core competitiveness of equipment companies.

With the industry trend of reducing costs and increasing efficiency, the technological iteration of the photovoltaic industry is also accelerating, with the emergence of large-size cells, multi-specification of cell spacing, diversified welding strips, diversified material matching, and emerging technologies such as HJT and TopCon. At present, the market situation of the coexistence of multiple component packaging technologies has put higher and higher requirements on the comprehensive technical requirements of the core equipment of components. ATW's high-speed interconnection solutions for component packaging are compatible with the full range of battery sizes from 156 to 230mm and are suitable for a variety of component processes. As a representative manufacturer of stringing machines in the industry, ATW launched the high-speed large-size stringing machine AM050E-8000 at this exhibition . The rigidity of the equipment has been improved overall, the node beat has been steadily optimized, and the overall production capacity of the machine is as high as 7,200 pieces/hour. AM050E-8000 can also be equipped with a water/waterless non-destructive cutting module, upgraded to a marking and welding joint machine AM050F-8000 , providing more choices for customers. With the intelligent detection module, it will further promote the unmanned/less-manned process of photovoltaic component production lines.
The newly launched high-speed typesetting machine AP001A-100A has the characteristics of high precision, high efficiency, high stability, etc. It can meet the production cycle of 8000-10000 pieces/hour, adapt to all current glass sizes, and can also flexibly configure the cutting process to meet the personalized needs of different battery strings. The high-speed stitch welding machine AM023D-200 has significant advantages such as 18s high cycle, high regularity accuracy and high welding reliability. At the same time, the equipment adopts a modular development method, which can achieve rapid cutting within 6 hours. ATW's new product not only has all-round improvements in production efficiency, compatibility, safety performance, and ease of operation, but also aims to meet customer production needs and continue to upgrade to the direction of intelligent manufacturing. We hope that through the mutual integration of the construction of the equipment information platform and the application data integration, we can help the photovoltaic industry chain achieve in-depth lean operation, and ultimately not only achieve high consistency of product quality for customers, but also greatly improve production efficiency and operating benefits.
