Custom AGV Solutions for Battery Storage Manufacturing and System Integration
Energy storage refers to the process of storing energy for later use in a controlled form. As countries accelerate their transition to clean energy, the energy storage industry—spanning battery cells, power systems, and grid-side applications—is experiencing explosive growth.
HENSEN has become a trusted AGV partner for many companies in this field, including top-tier players like CATL and BYD, as well as system integrators and equipment manufacturers across the upstream and downstream sectors. Our automated and manual AGV solutions are widely used in production and logistics across various scenarios, including:
- Power generation
- Grid-side storage
- User-side and industrial facility storage
Industry Background: Why Energy Storage Needs Smarter Logistics
Energy storage systems (ESS) include a variety of formats:
- Physical storage (e.g., pumped hydro, flywheel)
- Chemical storage (e.g., lithium-ion, sodium-sulfur, lead-acid, hydrogen)
- Electromagnetic storage (e.g., supercapacitors, superconducting magnetic energy)
With the rapid rise of 300Ah lithium-ion battery cells, the capacity of a single energy storage cabinet often reaches 5MWh, weighing 35–43 tons.
Standard cabinet sizes include:
- Small cabinets (100–500 kWh): 2–3m (L) × 0.8m (W) × 1.8m (H)
- Medium cabinets (500–2000 kWh): 6m (L) × 2.5m (W) × 2.2m (H)
- Large cabinets (2000+ kWh): Up to 12m in length
Heavy cabinet weights and multi-step assembly processes require a safe, flexible, and intelligent AGV-based handling solution.
