In the face of the wave of AI, many enterprises have the transformation anxiety of "fear of falling behind and fear of overturning", which is particularly acute in the traditional manufacturing industry with heavy assets and long chains. How to make AI truly serve the essence of manufacturing, rather than becoming a technical gimmick, has become the most urgent question for entrepreneurs.

on March 28, the first stop of "entering the benchmark factory" launched by Wu Xiaobo channel in 2026 landed in Ningbo. Financial writer Wu Xiaobo brought nearly 100 entrepreneurs into Shuanglu Battery and started in-depth research on "AI + Manufacturing.

this established manufacturing enterprise founded in 1954, through the whole process embrace of AI, completed the transformation from "craftsman" to "wise craftsman. It proves that even in a traditional track, advanced productivity can still be grown through technological reconstruction.

when the old factory grows a "new brain"

when visiting entrepreneurs enter the Shuanglu battery smart factory, the first thing they see is the historical development corridor of the brand. Step into it, as if opened a miniature version of the history of China's national industrial growth.

In the past 72 years, Shuanglu batteries have resonated at the same frequency as the tide of the times. Starting from a small workshop of "hand-rolled batteries", it has grown into a leader in the alkaline battery industry with products exported to more than 100 countries and regions around the world. From filling the gap in the domestic industry to galloping the global market, every step of Shuanglu battery has stepped on the tuyere of the times.

Now, AI has become a key variable in a new round of industrial transformation. Shuanglu Battery has once again taken the lead in integrating AI technology into R & D, production, quality inspection, warehousing, energy consumption control and other links, and has solved the "old problem" that has caused many traditional manufacturing enterprises to headache for many years with the "new brain".

In the exhibition hall of the black light production line, the first real "black light unmanned production line" in the global battery industry is running 24 hours a day. 5G + full link makes each device and each battery visible in the system in real time, realizing the digitization and intelligence of all production factors.

in the AI quality inspection area, the alkaline battery industry appearance AI quality inspection platform built by shuanglu battery and Huawei cloud can complete the battery "physical examination" within milliseconds, with a detection area of 120000mm, a minimum defect recognition accuracy of 0.2mm and an accuracy rate of nearly 100, which is a new benchmark for intelligent quality inspection in the industry.

The assembly and manufacturing department demonstrated that Shuanglu batteries can not only "make batteries", but also independently develop production equipment for "making batteries. At present, it has more than 40 independent intellectual property rights of alkaline battery production lines and more than 350 patents. From the ability of "chef" to "even the pot", let Shuanglu battery define its own production mode and build the most solid foundation for intelligent manufacturing.

the intelligent three-dimensional storage system is like a 30-meter-high "steel forest", which can process tens of thousands of boxes of batteries per hour, realizing the full-cycle unmanned flow from raw material storage to finished product delivery.

during the visit of shuanglu battery factory

"shuanglu battery has used AI in practice, it is not a show of dazzling skills, it is a productivity tool that truly integrates into the production texture and solves practical problems." Some entrepreneurs lamented during the visit. Many entrepreneurs said that the practice of Shuanglu Battery has broken the misunderstanding that "AI is only applicable to the new economy" and proved that the traditional manufacturing industry can activate new momentum as long as it is based on its main business and solidly promotes digitalization and intelligence.

Looking for answers in change and invariance

After the factory visit, a forum focused on "long-termism and resilient growth of manufacturing in the AI era" began. The guests discussed in depth the development of intelligent manufacturing, long-term enterprise, brand building, sea strategy and other topics.

Zhu Xiangkui, President of Ningbo Shuanglu Battery, expressed his enthusiasm and sincerity as the host with a humorous speech in his opening speech.

He compared Wu Xiaobo to the macro-vision builder of "flying in the sky", compared himself and his manufacturing colleagues to the firm executor of "at the foot of the mountain", and emphasized the importance of the combination of "vision" and "execution.

Zhu Xiangkui spoke highly of the learning ability and passion shown by the visiting entrepreneurs, and emphasized that real learning lies in the unity of knowledge and action, and the golden sentence can be transformed into action to achieve success.

Wu Xiaobo shared the following theme sharing, taking the development history of Shuanglu battery for more than 70 years as a microcosm, it reviews the complete iteration history of China's manufacturing industry from the introduction of production lines, breaking through the technology blockade, building black light factories to embracing AI research and development.

He pointed out that the core of corporate long-termism is to stick to the main business and keep up with the technological wave; and combined with the differentiation path of Shuanglu Battery and Nanfu, it emphasizes the importance of geography, opportunities of the times and corporate resilience.

In the end, he concluded with "to be an enterprise, to build a reservoir, to survive depends on the adherence to common sense, rather than the pursuit of the tuyere", and pointed out the underlying logic of the enterprise through the cycle.

financial writer Wu Xiaobo shared on the spot

after a brief interaction between the guests and the visiting entrepreneurs, he Yibo, vice president of Ningbo Shuanglu Battery, officially released the brand upgrade strategy, and Zhang Jian, vice president of technology, announced the four major technological innovations and solemnly promised to increase the battery shelf life from 10 years to 12 years. This quality assurance upgrade is the concentrated embodiment of the company's 72-year technology precipitation, manufacturing capacity and quality system, and is a long-term commitment to consumers.

Subsequently, wu Xiaobo and Ningbo Shuanglu Battery President Zhu Xiangkui jointly launched the launch ceremony. Wu Xiaobo Channel officially awarded Shuanglu Battery the honorary plaque of "Benchmark Factory.

Immediately afterwards, a roundtable forum on corporate growth and future strategies pushed the event to the climax of ideas. Wu Xiaobo, Zhu Xiangkui, Cui Hongbo three guests around the enterprise growth, sea strategy, intelligent transformation and other topics launched in-depth dialogue.

Talking about the secret of enterprise growth, Wu Xiaobo said: "All enterprise growth comes from the paranoid spirit of entrepreneurs. When they are powerless, they try their best. "

Looking back on the difficult process of Shuanglu battery transformation from carbon battery to alkaline battery, Zhu Xiangkui said with emotion:" The spirit of struggle is the core of Shuanglu people along the way."

When discussing brand building, Cui Hongbo, a guest brand strategy expert, pointed out: "Products are the foundation of brands, and the market will punish enterprises that do not make products seriously." Double deer battery is by virtue of excellent hard power and strategic foresight, won the long-term trust of the market.

On the issue of enterprises going to sea, Zhu Xiangkui shared the experience of Shuanglu Battery. He said: "Ideological emancipation and strategic layout are very important." As early as 2018, Shuanglu Battery deployed in the Vietnamese market, not simply "going out", but truly "integrating" to adapt to local laws, cultivate local talents, and establish supply chain trust.

Looking forward to the future, Zhu Xiangkui gave three key words: "Be professional, engage in intelligent manufacturing, and carry out sea layout." Wu Xiaobo added: "We should pay attention to the combination of artificial intelligence and enterprises and go out to sea to find increments, and think about ways to deal with changes." Cui Hongbo, a guest at the scene, had the same sharp point of view: "Work hard at the same place, work new at the change place, and be a game changer."

When asked about the difficulties encountered in the informatization transformation of the whole chain of intelligent factories, Zhu Xiangkui said bluntly: "The core problem lies in people. In the reform, people have resistance psychology and path dependence." He shared his methodology: "Steady progress between change and stability will make everyone gradually accept new things. At first, it will be painful, but it will gradually become logical thinking. Continuous progress will always be successful."

This profound dialogue not only allows us to see the 72-year industrial Long March of Shuanglu Battery, but also a practical lesson on long-term doctrine.

on-site round table

as Wu Xiaobo said: "the toughness of an enterprise really does not come from the pursuit of tuyere, and it comes from sticking to common sense." As the first stop of "Entering Benchmark Factory" in 2026, Shuanglu Battery's trip not only demonstrated how AI can be manufactured, but also conveyed the industrial spirit of focus and innovation.

from the independent research and development of production lines to the 12-year long-term commitment, the "light in a corner" of Shuanglu battery is the most solid base for China's intelligent manufacturing-it is not an unreachable phantom of the future, but a practical sample that every manufacturing enterprise can compare, learn from and put into action.
