Recently, the Guangdong Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology officially released the 2026 list of Advanced Smart Factories. Guangzhou Zhiguang Energy Storage Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Zhiguang Energy Storage) was successfully recognized as a Guangdong Provincial Advanced Smart Factory in recognition of its outstanding capabilities and achievements in intelligent manufacturing.
This prestigious recognition serves as an authoritative endorsement of Zhiguang Energy Storage’s digital transformation and intelligent manufacturing upgrade, marking another significant milestone in the company’s commitment to empowering the high-quality development of the new energy storage industry through advanced manufacturing.
The Guangdong Provincial Advanced Smart Factory program is jointly organized by the Guangdong Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology and multiple government agencies. The selection process strictly follows the requirements of China’s national intelligent manufacturing development strategy and involves rigorous multi-level professional evaluations. Key assessment criteria include factory planning and construction, R&D empowerment, production operation management, and end-to-end operational excellence. The recognition represents an official endorsement of benchmark enterprises in the intelligent manufacturing sector.
As a key construction project within Guangdong’s new energy storage industry, the Zhiguang Digital and Intelligent Energy Storage Factory is positioned as a “Zero-Carbon Industrial Park + Guangdong Provincial Key Laboratory + Core Demonstration Base for the New Energy Storage Industry.” Covering an area of 103 mu (approximately 68,700 square meters) with a total floor area of 155,000 square meters, the facility has an annual production capacity exceeding 10 GWh. It serves as a comprehensive smart energy storage base integrating research and development, manufacturing, testing, and delivery across the entire industrial value chain.
The factory was built according to the principles of high-level planning, high-standard design, highly automated equipment, and highly intelligent manufacturing, establishing an industry-leading intelligent production system.
End-to-End In-House Manufacturing Strengthens Supply Chain Security
Zhiguang Energy Storage has established a complete production ecosystem, including PACK assembly lines, PCS production lines, intelligent electronic warehouses, smart logistics systems, and energy storage system integration workshops.
The company pioneered the world’s first cascaded high-voltage direct-grid-connected large-capacity energy storage technology. Core power control components—including PCS (Power Conversion System), BMS (Battery Management System), and EMS (Energy Management System)—are all independently developed in-house. This ensures supply chain security and controllability, mitigates risks arising from external supply chain fluctuations, and enables full-chain self-development and self-manufacturing from core components to complete system solutions.
Highly Automated Precision Manufacturing Ensures Product Consistency
Production lines are equipped with advanced intelligent equipment, including high-precision robotic arms, laser welding systems, and automated vision inspection technologies.
The automation rate of key manufacturing processes exceeds 95%, while production efficiency per line has increased by more than 40%. These advancements significantly reduce manufacturing costs while ensuring superior product consistency and quality.
Full-Process Digital Collaboration Enables Visualized Production Management
Leveraging an industrial internet platform, the factory has achieved deep integration among the Manufacturing Execution System (MES), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, and intelligent logistics system.
Production data is collected in real time and fully traceable throughout the entire manufacturing process, creating a transparent, visualized, and intelligent digital factory that enables comprehensive operational visibility and management.
Driving the Future of Energy Storage Through Intelligent Manufacturing
Today, new energy storage has been identified as one of China’s six strategic emerging pillar industries and serves as a cornerstone for advancing energy transition and building a new power system.
As the leading enterprise of Guangzhou’s new energy storage industrial cluster, Zhiguang Energy Storage will continue to leverage the dual engines of technological innovation and intelligent manufacturing to accelerate breakthroughs in critical core technologies, further strengthen its smart manufacturing leadership, and promote the high-quality advancement of the energy storage industry.
The company remains committed to supporting China’s dual-carbon goals, facilitating the green and low-carbon transformation of the energy sector, and contributing sustainable momentum to the development of a cleaner, more efficient, and more resilient energy future.
