JINGMEN, China, Jan. 18, 2026 — A flagship facility of (300014.SZ) has been added to the Global Lighthouse Network by the World Economic Forum and McKinsey & Company, marking it as the world’s first lighthouse factory in the cylindrical battery sector. This prestigious recognition, representing the peak of global smart and digital manufacturing, highlights EVE Energy’s leading role in end-to-end smart transformation, enabled by the implementation of more than 40 digital solutions.
Smart Manufacturing Propels High Production Efficiency
EVE has developed a comprehensive digital system across R&D, production, and sales, launching China’s first 300ppm high-speed cylindrical battery production line, capable of producing 300 batteries per minute per line.
- Physical simulation combined with AI enables intelligent outcome prediction and process-parameter optimization in seconds, reducing 75% of R&D experiments.
- Key production processes achieve full automation, and an AIoT-driven predictive equipment health system ensures round-the-clock operation, raising the maximum overall equipment efficiency (OEE) to 95%.
- For sales, the APS intelligent scheduling system analyzes global orders in seconds, cutting lead-time response by 50%.
Full-Process AI Quality Control System Guarantees Consistent Quality
A full-process intelligent quality control system maintains a first-pass yield of over 97% and enhances cell voltage consistency by 70% through real-time data monitoring and cross-process AI optimization during production. AI vision inspection achieves 100% inspection with no missed judgments in 0.3 seconds per cell. Supported by a full-lifecycle battery data platform, quality issues can be traced and addressed within seconds.
Green Initiatives Foster Eco-Social Sustainability
From 2022 to 2025, EVE Energy achieved reductions of over 60% in per-unit carbon emissions and over 55% in product energy consumption. Real-time optimization via an AI-driven energy management model targets high-consumption systems, while the innovative “Battery Passport” system assigns each battery a unique digital identifier, covering more than 200,000 supply chain nodes to enable precise recycling. Through renewable energy, recycled materials, and energy-saving upgrades, EVE has reduced the product’s full-lifecycle carbon footprint by 15%.
EVE promotes human-machine collaboration: AR training and remote expert guidance accelerate skill development for key roles from months to days, empowering operators to manage advanced algorithms. A 360° air-ground security platform integrates over 1,000 intelligent sensors and UAV inspections, achieving zero production accidents with AI real-time risk alerts.
EVE Energy demonstrates how digital technologies can drive simultaneous progress in both manufacturing efficiency and green performance. This is set to inspire industry peers to pursue high-quality, low-carbon paths, advancing global sustainability efforts.
