Dual-Line Strategic Cooperation | SEMCORP Joins Hands with LUSTER LightTech and Welion New Energy to Build a New Ecosystem for Solid-State Battery Materials and AI Quality Inspection

Recently, Shanghai SEMCORP, a subsidiary of SEMCORP Group, officially signed a global strategic cooperation agreement on AI visual inspection with LUSTER LightTech Co., Ltd. At the same time, SEMCORP Shanghai, LUSTER LightTech, and Beijing Welion New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. entered into a tripartite strategic cooperation. Through the cross-sector integration of "Materials Science + Solid-State Battery Application + AI Intelligent Manufacturing," the three parties will jointly promote the high-quality development of the new energy industry and accelerate the deployment of new solid-state battery material technologies.

Global Strategic Cooperation: AI Quality Inspection Empowers Digital and Intelligent Upgrade of Separator Manufacturing

As a global leader in lithium battery separators, SEMCORP continues to strengthen its production capacity layout and deepen the high-end upgrade of its products. Through this global strategic cooperation between SEMCORP and LUSTER LightTech, the two sides will carry out in-depth collaboration on the GMQM series for intelligent quality management, AI quality inspection systems for separators, the F.Brain intelligent industrial brain, and a big data center. The cooperation covers SEMCORP’s nine domestic production bases and two overseas bases in the United States and Hungary, aiming to create a globally unified, full-process, and traceable digital and intelligent quality control system.

Leveraging this in-depth cooperation, SEMCORP will deploy AI vision as "intelligent eyes" to accurately identify and capture microscopic product defects; utilize intelligent algorithms as a "digital brain" to conduct deep analysis and intelligent decision-making on defect data; and employ automated production lines as "precise automated hands" to execute real-time process optimization and parameter adjustments. This will realize a comprehensive upgrade from "passive inspection" to "proactive warning, intelligent improvement, and closed-loop control," significantly enhancing full-process quality control capabilities.

Tripartite Powerful Alliance: Materials × Solid-State Battery Application × Intelligent Manufacturing, Defining a New Future for the Industry

Drawing on SEMCORP's profound expertise in separators and solid-state electrolyte materials, Welion’s leading strength in solid-state battery R&D and mass production, and LUSTER LightTech’s core advantages in machine vision and AI industrial brains, the three parties have signed a strategic cooperation agreement to jointly build a long-term stable and complementary industrial ecosystem. They will carry out all-round, in-depth cooperation centered on solid-state battery material technology innovation, intelligent manufacturing upgrades, and industrial ecosystem co-construction.

During the cooperation period, the three parties will establish a high-level joint meeting mechanism and form dedicated project teams to ensure efficient implementation and steady progress.

Leading the New Energy Industry Transformation with New Quality Productive Forces

This dual-line strategic cooperation is not only a key milestone in SEMCORP’s digital and intelligent manufacturing transformation but also a major breakthrough in the company’s material innovation and the industrialization of solid-state battery materials. Through the deep integration of intelligent manufacturing technology and new energy materials, the three parties will jointly set industry technical standards, accelerate the commercialization of scientific research achievements, and provide safer, more efficient, and smarter solutions for the global new energy vehicle and energy storage industries.

In the future, SEMCORP will continue to take technological innovation and industrial synergy as its core engines, join hands with ecosystem partners to build a new industrial ecosystem, drive high-quality development with new quality productive forces, and lead the global lithium battery separator and solid-state battery material industry toward a new journey!
