Building industry upward

As China’s digital economy accelerates, its industrial parks don’t just provide office space. Today, they’re focused on delivering high-end services such as integrating industries, optimizing operations, and helping enterprises scale faster.

Baolong Industrial Park exemplifies that shift. Developed by Shenzhen SEZ Construction Group, it’s one of the city’s first pilot projects for high-quality industrial space. It supports strategic sectors—integrated circuits, advanced medical devices, new energy—that demand precision infrastructure and tight supply-chain coordination.

But Baolong’s defining feature is its “industrial up-stacking” model, where offices, labs, and production lines are concentrated in high-rise buildings. The approach maximizes land use, yet introduces a new challenge: how to transform vertical density into industrial efficiency.

Converting vertical space into industrial speed

Stacking factories upward increases freight traffic within buildings. Elevators, loading bays, and access routes can quickly become bottlenecks. In the past, this problem was highly visible: at peak hours, long queues of trucks formed outside the park, and internal logistics slowed to a crawl.

To solve the problem, Baolong partnered with Huawei to build an AI-enabled campus architecture that encompasses computing, connectivity, and platform layers.

Using digital twins and intelligent scheduling, the park pre-books entry routes, coordinates elevator use, and manages lifting equipment through a global system. As a result, freight efficiency has increased by more than 30%, effectively removing vertical logistics as a constraint on growth.

At the same time, an all-optical campus network combined with Wi-Fi 7, the latest generation of Wi-Fi technology, provides ultra-reliable connectivity to people, machines, and devices. Behind the scenes, green data infrastructure dynamically allocates computing resources, supporting real-time analysis while improving energy efficiency.

From park management to industrial empowerment

Logistics and an all-optical network were only part of Baolong’s transformation. As the number of tenant enterprises grew, so did demand for more refined services, from policy guidance and financing support to talent recruitment and market expansion. Traditional manual processes could not scale. With the Huawei Campus Digital Platform, Baolong built a unified digital foundation connecting all business systems and devices. Data that once sat locked in silos now flows freely across departments and even across different parks.

Through an Intelligent Operations Center (IOC), managers gain real-time visibility into assets, vehicles, facilities, and energy usage. IoT sensors and computer vision enable automated inspections, reducing camera maintenance costs by 30%. Simplified operations mean that a single administrator can manage a campus serving 10,000 people.

AI-driven enterprise profiling makes service delivery even more precise. Natural language processing tools interpret complex industrial policies and match them to company needs, while intelligent algorithms connect upstream and downstream firms located just floors apart. Overall service efficiency has improved by 50%, and conversion rates for prospective investment leads have risen 20%.

The Park has also introduced round-the-clock AI customer support, allowing companies to submit maintenance requests and access digital service portals from a single mobile interface.

Coordinated clusters, with industrial brainpower

Beyond smart services and management, Baolong has developed what it calls an industrial brain, a data-driven platform that identifies collaboration opportunities and accelerates value-chain integration across the city’s industrial clusters.

In high-end medical devices, one of Baolong’s key verticals, enterprises can access industry maps, regional comparisons, and development diagnostics, helping them refine strategy and strengthen competitiveness.

The result is a new model of industrial clustering: data-driven matching encourages upstream and downstream partners to co-locate—sometimes within the same building—accelerating collaboration.

By strengthening its digital foundation and layering AI across operations, services, and logistics, Baolong has established a benchmark for high-rise industrial development.

More than a real estate project, Baolong is a blueprint for smart industrial campuses – places where intelligent infrastructure transforms space into synergy, and vertical density into growth.
