China's barcode scanner industry

The deep integration of China's barcode scanner industry and new energy industry is restructuring the digital foundation of lithium battery and photovoltaic manufacturing with full lifecycle traceability as the core. In the field of lithium-ion batteries, the 'Code Rules for Lithium ion Batteries' will be enforced from November 2025, implementing the 'one battery, one code' policy. Leading companies such as CATL and BYD rely on AI recognition equipment and DPM code technology to achieve millisecond level accurate coding and data binding for battery cells, modules, and PACKs. The recognition accuracy has exceeded 99.99%, recall efficiency has increased by 60%, and recovery rate has jumped to 65%. In the field of photovoltaics, companies such as Longi use barcode systems to connect the entire chain of silicon materials, components, and installation, achieving traceability of production batches, quality inspection data, and logistics trajectories for each component, and a storage error rate approaching zero. The industrial grade scanning terminal integrates anti reflective and multi material adaptive algorithms, adapts to extreme working conditions such as metal surfaces and low contrast, and supports the evolution of new energy production lines towards 'lighthouse factories'. On the policy side, the 14th Five Year Plan for Intelligent Manufacturing Equipment clearly lists bar code recognition as a key basic component, and the localization rate is targeted to exceed 80%, promoting the upgrading of equipment to intelligent and edge computing. The industry is transforming from an 'information collection tool' to a 'manufacturing data hub', becoming an invisible pillar for the high-quality development of new energy.
