More than two years ago, facing Sanyu Park, Jiaocheng District, Ningde City, Fujian Province, which is still a mudflat, few people could imagine that the largest assembly workshop in Asia would be built here. Two years later, this has become the final assembly workshop of SAIC Ningde factory, covering an area of nearly 140000 square meters - robotic arms work in an orderly manner on the production line, with almost no manual inspection and operation, AGV cars easily avoid ground obstacles, and transport materials to the required workstations... These scenes in front of us are overturning people's impression of traditional manufacturing being noisy, busy, and overcrowded.
Welcome to the sci-fi factory in the real world
Surprisingly, the SAIC Ningde factory took only 17 months from project initiation to completion and production. Currently, the factory has four major production workshops, with the ability to produce 5 vehicle platforms and 10 vehicle hybrid lines, enabling the simultaneous production of new energy vehicles and traditional power vehicles. According to statistics, the Ningde factory can currently produce an average of one car per minute and 240000 new cars per year!
