EVE Energy’s flagship facility has been inducted into 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.
The recognition, a hallmark of global excellence in smart and digital manufacturing, highlights EVE Energy’s leadership in end-to-end smart transformation, powered by 40+ deployed digital solutions.
EVE has built a fully integrated digital system spanning R&D, production, and sales, launching China’s first 300ppm high-speed cylindrical battery line, capable of producing 300 batteries per minute per line.
“Physical simulation and AI integration enable intelligent outcome prediction and process-parameter optimization in seconds, reducing 75% of R&D experiments,” the company said. Key production processes are 100% automated, with an AIoT-driven predictive equipment health system keeping operations running 24/7 and boosting maximum overall equipment efficiency (OEE) to 95%.
On the sales front, an APS intelligent scheduling system analyzes global orders in seconds, cutting lead-time response by 50%.
A full-process intelligent quality control system ensures 97%+ first-pass yield and improves cell voltage consistency by 70% through real-time monitoring and AI optimization. AI vision inspection achieves 100% coverage with zero missed judgments in 0.3 seconds per cell, while a full-lifecycle battery data space allows quality issues to be traced and addressed in seconds.
EVE Energy has also made major strides in sustainability. From 2022 to 2025, the company achieved 60%+ reductions in per-unit carbon emissions and 55%+ reductions in product energy consumption.
“Real-time optimization via an AI-driven energy management model targets high-consuming systems, while the innovative ‘Battery Passport’ system provides each battery with a unique digital identifier, encompassing 200,000+ supply chain nodes to enable precise recycling,” EVE explained. Renewable energy, recycled materials, and energy-saving upgrades have cut the full-lifecycle carbon footprint by 15%.
EVE is pushing human-machine synergy to new heights. “AR training and remote expert guidance accelerate skill development for key roles from months to days, empowering operators to oversee advanced algorithms,” the company said.
A 360° air-ground security platform integrates over 1,000 intelligent sensors and UAV inspections, achieving zero production accidents with AI real-time risk warnings.
EVE Energy demonstrates how digital technologies can drive simultaneous advancements in manufacturing efficiency and green performance, setting a blueprint for industry peers to follow in high-quality, low-carbon production.
