Key Data Management Challenges in Modern Battery Manufacturing

As LG Energy Solution Battery (Nanjing) continues to scale its operations to meet the demands of the green energy market, several critical data management challenges have emerged. First, the growing volume of production and R&D data calls for significantly more storage capacity to ensure smooth operations. Alongside this, robust protection measures are essential to safeguard sensitive information and maintain data integrity. Moreover, the company requires efficient system management that supports simple maintenance and seamless disk replacement, minimizing downtime. Lastly, proper access control is vital—ensuring that only authorized personnel involved in production management are granted the appropriate system permissions to maintain operational security and workflow efficiency.

SOLUTION

Optimizing Production Storage: Scalable, Secure, and Seamlessly Management

Upon thorough inspection, we were able to meet the customer’s requirements for large storage capacity for their production line by providing 30 QSAN NAS systems, each paired with twelve 12TB Seagate disks. For secure storage required of a production line, we provided functions such as deleted snapshots recycle bin, WORM, and SED disk encryption. For employee management, we integrated NAS into the factory’s existing Windows AD service and used Windows ACL to configure advanced permissions management. We support a clean Web UI accessible from browser, as well as a hot-pluggable system (fan, battery, and disk) for efficient maintenance.

Boosting Security and Efficiency with QSAN NAS Storage Architecture

🔐 Enhanced Data Protection & Storage Reliability

  • Resolved the customer’s critical need for high-capacity data storage using 30 QSAN XN8012RE systems paired with twelve 12TB Seagate disks each.
  • Addressed previous data loss issues caused by disk failure with hot-pluggable hardware (disks, fans, battery), allowing safe replacement without downtime.
  • Implemented advanced data security features such as:
  • Snapshot Recycle Bin for recovering deleted data.
  • SED disk encryption to prevent unauthorized access.
  • WORM (Write Once, Read Many) technology for immutable data protection—ensuring files cannot be modified or deleted during the retention period.
  • WORM is ideal for highly regulated industries such as finance, healthcare, education, R&D, legal, and government.

👥 Streamlined Enterprise User Management

  • Seamlessly integrated XN8012RE into the customer’s existing Windows AD infrastructure, supporting up to 200,000 domain accounts via Windows AD & LDAP.
  • Enabled automated account configuration to eliminate duplicates and reduce administrative workload.
  • Used Windows ACL (Access Control List) to set detailed file and folder permissions:
  • Fine-tuned access rights for different users and roles.
  • Ensured strict data governance across departments.
  • Supported cross-platform permission control, enhancing system-wide data security.

“QSAN NAS’s straightforward operation guarantees reliable storage of pivotal manufacturing data. It possesses stable and rapid data processing ability.”
