Digital Factory

Modern cars are evolving towards electrification, intelligence, network connectivity and personalization. For consumers, cars have long been more than just a simple means of transportation. Business people see it as an endorsement of their taste, and new young people pursue intelligent driving experience ...... Today's consumers value more the comprehensive quality and added value of a car. Although the ever-changing market has brought some challenges to automakers, Beijing New Energy Vehicle Company Limited (Beiqi New Energy) has its own strategy to break the game.
As the market leader in China's pure electric vehicle market, BAIC New Energy sold 158,000 units in 2018, making it the sales champion of China's pure electric vehicle market for six consecutive years. Faced with the challenges of accelerated subsidy withdrawal and intensified market competition, BAIC New Energy has actively promoted product upward and brand upward, and achieved initial results. It remains to be seen how to further develop the mid- to high-end market in the future and how to sustain its market-leading position.
"We hope to further strengthen the brand effect, improve product quality and launch models that are more in line with market demand, and the inherent root to support all this is the continuous improvement of digital R&D, manufacturing and management levels." Wang Qingzhou, Secretary of Party Committee and General Manager of Qingdao Industrial Base of Beijing New Energy Vehicle Co., Ltd, said, "Siemens' integrated software and hardware digital enterprise solutions, as well as the Si-car standard dedicated to the automotive industry, have helped us to build the first production base of BAIC Group in Qingdao to achieve mass production of new energy vehicles, which has also laid a comprehensive digital factory construction This has also laid a solid foundation for our comprehensive digital factory construction."

BAIC New Energy Qingdao Industrial Base is BAIC New Energy's first business unit outside of Beijing and the largest new energy vehicle production base in China, covering an area of over 1,600 mu, and has been growing at a rapid pace since it started production at the end of 2015. This base with complete production process has witnessed the whole production process of cars from tin to finished products.
