Carmaker Aion launches smart factory in Thailand

Thailand's first comprehensive energy utilization factory, established by China's GAC Motor, was launched in Rayong Province on Wednesday, with the aim of developing the facility into Southeast Asia's EV production base and contributing to the kingdom's green development.

The intelligent factory constructed by Aion, a GAC subsidiary, features photovoltaic energy storage and charging integration, and is Thailand's first such factory, said Ma Haiyang, general manager of Aion Southeast Asia.

He said Aion's intelligent factory can achieve zero-defect and nondestructive process control. It also introduces artificial intelligence to the production line. "The smart factory can further guarantee high quality and safe production with cutting-edge technology, which complies with Thailand's development strategy," Ma said.
