🔋 Case Study: Supmea Empowers a 50,000-Ton LFP Cathode Project with Smart Automation

Following Tesla, BYD, CATL and other industry leaders, Supmea’s process automation solutions have been implemented in another major energy materials project — a 50,000-ton-per-year lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cathode material plant. Phase I of the project is now fully operational.

⚙️ End-to-End Automation Across the Entire Production Chain

According to Mr. Gao, Head of Supmea’s Hefei Office, the project deployed hundreds of automation instruments, including:

• Radar Level Transmitters
• Electromagnetic Flow Meters
• Pressure Transmitters
• Water Quality Analyzers
• Temperature Sensors

These devices cover every production stage, from raw material preparation and chemical reactions to product handling and wastewater treatment.

“With the implementation of our automation solutions, the plant has significantly improved production efficiency and product quality,” said Mr. Gao.
“It also aligns with China’s national goals for energy conservation, emission reduction, and green production.”

🔋 Why LFP Batteries Are Gaining Ground

As the new energy vehicle (NEV) industry accelerates, LFP batteries are becoming the top choice due to:

• High safety profile
• Long cycle life
• Lower cost compared to other chemistries

Use cases include:

• Electric Vehicles (EVs)
• Energy Storage Systems
• Marine and Aerospace Applications

Industry leaders like Tesla and BYD have already made LFP their core battery choice.

🌏 Global Expansion: Supmea in Vietnam

In 2023, Supmea partnered with Vietnam’s largest conglomerate Vingroup to support their premium EV brand VinFast.

This collaboration provided automation instruments for Vietnam’s first LFP battery factory, a milestone project for Southeast Asia’s clean energy industry.
