The battery manufacturing process at CATL’s Ningde facility is highly advanced and incorporates several cutting-edge technologies. Here are some key aspects:

- Industry 4.0 Technologies: CATL leverages artificial intelligence (AI), big data, and cloud computing to enhance manufacturing efficiency and product quality. This includes real-time process quality detection and closed-loop control.
- Digital Twins: The factory uses digital twin technology to simulate production operations, which helps in designing and optimizing factory layouts and production lines.
- AI and 5G Integration: AI is used to monitor and control the quality of processes in real-time, while 5G technology supports high-speed data transmission for automated logistics and real-time equipment monitoring.
- Sustainability: CATL has developed an intelligent resource and energy management platform to reduce carbon emissions and improve energy efficiency. This includes using clean energy sources and optimizing energy consumption based on real-time data.
- Extreme Manufacturing: The facility aims for high-quality production with minimal defects, achieving a defect rate at the parts per billion (PPB) level. This is supported by advanced inspection systems and AI algorithms.

Closest Airport
Fuzhou Airport is the larger and more convenient local airport about 40 minutes drive. Also consider Trains for fast efficient travel within China.
Eating out

Eating out is quite different to Europe, my team took me out for ‘hot pot’ you select the raw food and cook it in a communal ‘hot pot’ in the middle of the table. Mostly enjoyable…… not to sure on the intestine though! If this isn’t for you don’t worry to much Western food is available in cities and many hotels.
