CHUZHOU, China, Aug. 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Trina Storage, a leading global energy storage solution provider, has recently announced the completion of a major upgrade to its smart integration factory in Chuzhou, China. The upgraded facility strengthens the company’s intelligent manufacturing capabilities and system integration capacity, enabling faster, more efficient, and higher-quality delivery of utility-scale energy storage systems to customers around the world.

As global demand for energy storage accelerates, Trina Storage is scaling up its production capacity while enhancing the performance, flexibility, and traceability of its manufacturing processes. The recent upgrade focuses on end-to-end automation and digitalization across core processes, from cell production and module assembly to containerized system integration and testing. The level of automation at the Chuzhou factory has increased by 23%, while overall production efficiency has improved by 50%, and testing speed by more than 60%, significantly boosting the factory’s ability to meet large-scale project, high-standard project requirements.

Digital systems have also been fully integrated into the factory’s infrastructure. Supported by industrial IoT platforms, the facility now enables real-time data flow and intelligent coordination across key functions such as production, logistics, and quality assurance. Integration of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) further enhances visibility and agility in daily operations.

To ensure consistent product quality and safety, the factory also implements a robust traceability framework covering process design, equipment maintenance, energy use, and logistics. This enables full product tracking and early risk detection, reinforcing safety and reliability at every stage.

Trina Storage’s energy storage systems have been deployed across key markets worldwide, with cumulative shipments surpassing 10 GWh by the end of 2024. In 2025, annual shipments are projected to reach 8–10GWh. Backed by 16 GWh of current production capacity and a planned scale-up to 25 GWh by the end of 2025, Trina Storage continues to build global delivery capabilities that align with the accelerating demand for clean and reliable energy storage solutions.

“The smart integration factory upgrade represents more than just a technological enhancement,” said Ni Lili, Global Product President of Trinasolar. “It reflects our long-term commitment to innovation, quality, and delivering customer value at scale. As we continue to invest in manufacturing excellence and global infrastructure, we remain focused on supporting the rapid adoption of energy storage worldwide through safe, intelligent, and high-performance solutions.”

BEIJING, Aug. 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — From August 15-17, the 31^st China International Medical Equipment Exhibition and Scientific Conference (China-Hospeq 2025) was held in Beijing. Vital Materials officially launched the VITA Genesis, China’s fully proprietary Photon Counting CT (PCCT) scanner, marking the entry of global medical imaging technology into the “Quantum Flux” sensing era and empowering Chinese innovation in precision diagnostics and treatment.

The Photon Counting Detectors (PCD), as the core technology of PCCT, differ significantly from traditional Energy Integrating Detectors (EID). Traditional CT scanners require X-ray photons to first be converted into visible light, then into electrical signals. In contrast, the PCCT detector employs semiconductor materials, where X-ray photons excite electrons, creating electron-hole pairs proportional to photon energy. Charge carriers from the pairs are separated by an electric field to generate electrical pulses. Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASIC) categorize these pulses by energy bins, enabling precise photon counting and energy resolution. This breakthrough provides crucial technical support for multi-energy spectral imaging, significantly enhancing the diagnostic value of medical imaging.

Currently, the PCCT detectors primarily utilize three materials: Cadmium Zinc Telluride (CdZnTe or CZT), Cadmium Telluride (CdTe), and Deep Silicon. CZT is emerging as a breakthrough for next-generation medical imaging technology due to its outstanding detection capabilities. The core value of VITA Genesis lies not only in adopting a detector solution based on the CZT, but more importantly in pioneering the mastery of PCCT’s full vertical integration technology. This includes ultra-high purity metals purification and compounding, single crystal growth and processing, component design and development, CT system integration, and imaging algorithm development, establishing a global paradigm in the field of PCCT.
