Sigenergy has officially inaugurated the Sigenergy Nantong Smart Energy Center in Nantong, Jiangsu province, China, marking a new milestone in the company’s global development.
The event brought together nearly 2,000 guests from more than 50 countries and regions, including founders, CEOs and senior executives from leading distributors and installation partners worldwide. The strong attendance highlighted Sigenergy’s growing international footprint and its positioning as an innovator in smart energy technologies.
During the event, the company announced several strategic developments that signal the next phase of its global expansion. Among them were the presentation of its “AI in All” strategy and the launch of new solutions covering residential, commercial and industrial (C&I), and utility-scale renewable energy applications.
These announcements reinforce Sigenergy’s ambition to play a leading role in the transformation of global energy systems through artificial intelligence, energy storage and smart energy management.
“AI in All”: embedding intelligence across the energy ecosystem
Sigenergy’s “AI in All” strategy positions artificial intelligence as a core capability embedded across its entire technology platform, including products, software, manufacturing processes and energy management systems.
The objective is to transform energy systems from simple operational infrastructure into intelligent, collaborative and continuously optimised platforms.
“Sigenergy is committed to leading the global energy transition through AI-driven innovation. Our goal is to harness artificial intelligence to create smarter and more adaptive energy systems that set new standards across the industry,” said Tony Xu, founder and CEO of Sigenergy.
As renewable energy and energy storage reshape the global power sector, the industry is moving away from hardware-centred competition towards integrated systems defined by user experience and intelligent management. Within this context, Sigenergy is embedding AI as a fundamental layer across its technology ecosystem.
AI capabilities operate across multiple levels:
Product level
-
Energy management optimisation
-
Operational performance enhancement
-
Dispatch control
Software level
-
System configuration optimisation
-
Advanced monitoring
-
Strategy execution
System level

-
Coordinated operations across residential, C&I and utility-scale environments
Through this approach, Sigenergy aims to convert AI innovation into practical system intelligence, accelerating the deployment of smarter and more adaptive energy infrastructure worldwide.
Nantong Smart Energy Center: a benchmark in intelligent manufacturing
Supporting the global rollout of the “AI in All” strategy is the newly inaugurated Sigenergy Nantong Smart Energy Center, a next-generation manufacturing hub designed to scale the company’s global operations.
Key specifications
| Indicator | Details |
|---|---|
| Total area | 136,000 m² |
| Investment | RMB 500 million (≈ USD 70 million) |

More than a conventional manufacturing plant, the facility functions as an integrated hub combining:
-
Advanced research and development
-
Intelligent manufacturing
-
Global distribution
-
Energy management systems
At the core of Sigenergy’s manufacturing network, the centre operates with a fully integrated digital platform, enabling operators to monitor production in real time and coordinate processes across the entire facility.
Unlike conventional factories that rely on isolated automation systems, the centre interconnects:
-
MES – Manufacturing Execution System
-
WMS – Warehouse Management System
-
EMS – Energy Management System
This integration allows automatic synchronisation of:
-
material logistics
-
equipment configuration
-
production adjustments
Sigenergy reports industry-leading precision levels in key manufacturing processes, including:
-
Automated welding with CCD visual inspection, achieving a 99.9% yield rate
-
SMT lines processing components in 0.043 seconds per unit with 20–30 micron precision
-
DIP assembly lines with 50% shorter production times through automation and lean manufacturing practices
AI-based quality inspections replace manual sampling, while the company’s intelligent three-dimensional logistics system integrates aerial and ground material movement to optimise efficiency.
This combination of advanced equipment and intelligent systems enables high-throughput production performance:
| Production Output | Speed |
|---|---|
| Battery pack | 1 unit every 15 seconds |
| Inverter | 1 unit every 21 seconds |
The Nantong Smart Energy Center ensures that Sigenergy’s proprietary designs can be manufactured at a global scale without compromising quality, setting new standards in precision, consistency and long-term reliability.
