Pursue “extreme manufacturing”

Why is the failure rate standard of a single cell set at one part per billion? Chen Ling told reporters that an electric vehicle has hundreds of cells, and the energy storage power station has thousands of cells, if the original auto industry one million failure rate, there will be certain security risks. The failure rate standard of the cell is reduced to one part per billion, which means that it meets the safety standard of nuclear power grade.

The eight difficulties of battery manufacturing include extremely precise, extremely fast, extremely consistent, extremely low defect rate, extremely flexible, extremely safe, extremely low cost, and extremely clean.

RDIOR420 In the exhibition hall of Jiangsu Times, the slogan “extreme manufacturing” is placed in a prominent position. The reporter’s research learned that Jiangsu Times produces a battery cell for an average of one second, and 2.5 minutes produces a battery pack. “Ningde Times pursues’ extreme manufacturing ‘and constantly realizes the limit of manufacturing speed, the limit of defect detection rate, and the limit of product quality.” Chen Ling said that through intelligent transformation, Jiangsu Times has increased production capacity by 320%, reduced manufacturing costs by 33%, reduced carbon emissions by 47.4%, reduced quality defects by 99%, and upgraded the defect rate from “one in a million” to “one in a billion”.

At the same time, the full implementation of digital management, through the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, cloud computing and other innovative technologies, real-time monitoring of production data, to achieve transparency and traceability of the supply chain.

The output of Jiangsu is about 1/5 of the total output of Ningde era, which is an important production base in the Yangtze River Delta area of Ningde era. It is based in the Yangtze River Delta and radiates East China, and the batteries of new energy vehicle brands such as Ideal and NIO come from here.

Market share continues to increase

As a global lithium battery leader, Ningde Times has 3 “lighthouse factories” and 9 “zero carbon factories”, including Jiangsu Times, and the relevant technology and experience are promoted and applied in 13 factories around the world.

RDIOR420 Chen Ling said that Ningde Times leads the industry in product delivery and quality control with its leading intellectual manufacturing capabilities. Taking the recently popular Shenxi supercharged battery as an example, it takes only half a year from release to mass production delivery, and behind the rapid delivery, it relies on high-efficiency production support.

According to SNE Research statistics, in 2023, the global power battery usage market share of Ningde era will be 36.8%, an increase of 0.6 percentage points from 2022, ranking first in the world for 7 consecutive years; In 2023, the company’s global energy storage battery shipments accounted for 40% of the market, ranking first in the world for three consecutive years.

The global market share of power batteries has steadily increased. From January to April this year, Ningde Era’s battery installed capacity in the global market totaled 81.4GWh, ranking first in the world, an increase of 30% year-on-year, and the market share reached 37.7%, an increase of 2.4 percentage points year-on-year. According to the data of China Automotive power Battery Industry Innovation Alliance, from January to May 2024, the domestic power battery market share of Ningde era was 46.73%, an increase of 3.8 percentage points year-on-year.
