Lithium-ion battery manufacturer for EV and energy storage
LG Energy Solution manufactures lithium-ion batteries at scale across EV and stationary energy storage markets. The tech stack reflects a capital-heavy, process-driven operation: SAP + WMS + ERP for supply-chain backbone, PLC + SCADA + Ignition for manufacturing control, and domain-specific tools (GC-MS, Keyence, Minitab, SPC) for quality and process optimization. Active adoption of SCADA, combined with a hiring surge (103 roles in the last 30 days, 49 of them engineering) and a project list heavy on line improvement and large-scale storage deployment, points to expansion in manufacturing footprint and automation of production lines.
