[Key Lecture Content]
The competitiveness of the battery industry is significantly influenced not only by cell performance and material technology but also by the overall construction capability of the manufacturing infrastructure, which includes manufacturing equipment, buildings, power equipment, procurement, and data collaboration. While Japan possesses high-level elemental technologies and quality, it faces international competitive challenges in terms of quantity, speed, and cost due to individual optimization and long design and procurement lead times. This lecture will provide an overview of the structural challenges in the battery industry proposed by BASC, focusing on the manufacturing equipment industry, and introduce the direction of the Swiftfab concept as a measure through standardization, modularization, and integrated platformization.
