Digital Intelligence Breaks the Mold, Leading the New Global Lithium Battery Ecosystem – Yixinfeng’s Wu Songyan Decodes the Path of Industry Transformation
2026-01-09
As the global new energy revolution enters deep waters, the Lithium Battery industry is undergoing an era shift from "scale expansion" to "value restructuring." During the 2025 Starting Point Lithium Industry Annual Conference and the Lithium Battery Gold Tripod Awards Ceremony, held concurrently with the Starting Point Research 10th Anniversary Celebration and the User-Side Energy Storage & Battery Technology Forum, global industry elites gathered.

Mr. Wu Songyan, Founder, Group Chairman, and General Manager of Yixinfeng, took the stage as a special guest, delivering a keynote speech titled "Breaking the Cycle, Rebirth in the Digital Intelligence Era – Yixinfeng's Path of Lithium Battery Innovation." With strategic foresight that penetrates cycles, hardcore innovation that redefines value, and a grand vision for global layout, he injected intellectual momentum into industry development, winning high praise from global leaders and demonstrating the leading force of "Intelligent Manufacturing in China."

With twenty-five years of deep cultivation in equipment manufacturing, Mr. Wu Songyan has long been an industrial thinker with both technical depth and strategic height. Leading Yixinfeng, he has secured 196 national patents (including 49 invention patents) and holds multiple key industry positions, such as a member of the National Federation of Industry and Commerce High-End Intelligent Equipment Manufacturing Committee, always anchoring the direction of upgrading at the industry's forefront. In this speech, he addressed the core contradictions of the global lithium battery industry from the stance of an "industrial co-builder."

Currently, the global lithium battery industry is mired in a structural dilemma of "coexisting overcapacity and value scarcity." In 2024, China's planned total lithium battery production capacity exceeded 3,000 GWh, while market demand was only about 1,200 GWh. The "price wars" triggered by this supply-demand imbalance caused a 5% year-on-year decline in industry gross margins, making "growth without profit increase" a common global challenge. Facing the era's core question, Mr. Wu Songyan proposed the "value competition" concept, becoming a guiding beacon for the industry to break the deadlock – replacing scalable replaceability with technological irreplaceability, breaking path dependency with scenario-based innovation, and injecting calm strength into an otherwise impatient industry through the long-term philosophy of "becoming stronger, not just bigger."

Yixinfeng's three core innovations define the standards for next-generation lithium battery equipment. Catering to the flexible manufacturing needs of the low-altitude economy, the Full Laser Die-Cutting Machine, with its "Three Zeros, Three No's" advantages, compresses new product R&D cycles from several weeks to 3 days, breaking traditional manufacturing physical limits.

Addressing mass production bottlenecks of 46-series large cylindrical batteries, the Laser Die-Cutting & Winding Integrated Machine achieved seven major performance leaps, pushing cell yield rates to industry-leading levels.

The Small & Medium Pilot Line All-in-One Safety Space combines modular design with a flexible "Rent, Purchase, OEM, or ODR" model, lowering the initial investment threshold by 70% for global innovation teams, building an industrial ecosystem where "everyone can innovate." This series of breakthroughs showcases the technological confidence and industrial responsibility of "Intelligent Manufacturing in China."

In its global layout, Yixinfeng is advancing towards a new dimension of "Global Industry Collaborative Co-construction." Seizing the golden export window period of 2025-2027, it has built a trinity system of "Product Compliance, Local Service, Model Innovation": achieving over 98% testing success rate via international certifications like CE, UL, ATEX; establishing technical service centers in Vietnam and Germany for localized response; and pioneering the "Production Line as a Service" model, upgrading from "selling equipment" to "co-building the industrial ecosystem." Its products and services now cover over 20 countries and regions, setting a benchmark for Chinese equipment export standards.

Digital-intelligent transformation is the underlying logic of Yixinfeng's core competitiveness. It has built a full-process digital-intelligent system (SAP + MES + OA/IMD), achieving end-to-end data penetration: SAP-ME closed-loop control reduced material loss rate from 5.2% to 2.7%, increasing project gross margin by 3.1%; MES + Digital Twin Transparent Factory shortened order delivery cycles by 15% and reduced customer penalties by 90%, setting a benchmark for the global lithium battery equipment industry's digital-intelligent transition.

Standing at the crossroads of industrial transformation, Yixinfeng's persistence and future demonstrate the mission of a leading Chinese enterprise in our times. As a National-level Specialized, Sophisticated, Innovative, and Emerging "Little Giant" enterprise and a National Intellectual Property Advantage Enterprise, Yixinfeng consistently maintains R&D investment above 6% of revenue, has established a Postdoctoral Workstation, and solidifies its technological foundation through continuous innovation. Upholding the core values of "Integrity, Responsibility, Care, Innovation, Pragmatism, and Win-Win," while pursuing the dual happiness (material and spiritual) of its employees, it takes promoting the globalization of green energy as its own responsibility, fulfilling its corporate social duty. Looking forward, Yixinfeng focuses on three new tracks: the low-altitude economy, energy storage scenarios, and sodium-ion batteries. Driven by the dual engines of "Technological Rooting" and "Scenario Innovation," it is committed to becoming a global leader in new energy equipment technology. It aims to join hands with global industry peers to jointly build an open, collaborative, and win-win new global lithium battery industry ecosystem.

Mr. Wu Songyan's speech resonated within the industry not only because of Yixinfeng's hardcore innovative strength but also due to its grand vision that transcends the enterprise itself, focuses on the overall industry landscape, and cares for global development. As a representative of "Intelligent Manufacturing in China," Yixinfeng is using digital-intelligent innovation as its pen and a global perspective as its ink, writing a magnificent chapter of "Breaking the Cycle, Rebirth, Leading the Future" on the grand canvas of the new energy revolution. In the future, Yixinfeng will continue to use technology as its sail and innovation as its helm, leading the global lithium battery industry towards a new stage of higher-quality, more sustainable development, contributing China's strength to a green, low-carbon, and beautiful future for humanity.
