As a key player in Guizhou's digital economy strategy, Guiyang National High-tech Industrial Development Zone (Guiyang HIDZ) is utilizing 5G, blockchain, industrial internet, and artificial intelligence to accelerate industrial digitalization and intelligent upgrading.
Focusing on competitive sectors such as equipment manufacturing and electronic information, the zone has identified pain points across production, management, and services, cultivating a number of replicable digital transformation models.
Guiyang HIDZ-based CASIC Guizhou Linquan Motor Co's "5G+ Smart Supply Chain Digital Center" has reduced inventory costs by over 13 percent and shortened material turnover time by 20 percent. Its industrial internet platform was selected as a national benchmark case in 2022.
Meanwhile, Guizhou Hangyu Technology Development Co's smart manufacturing pilot factory for precision aero ring forgings was recognized as a national demonstration project, highlighting how digital tools enhance high-end manufacturing.

So far, 49 major industrial enterprises in the zone have completed digital upgrades, while 28 pilot projects targeting small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have been launched, with nine selected for national-level demonstration programs.
Guiyang HIDZ is advancing both the construction and application of digital platforms, relying on leading enterprises to improve overall industry capabilities.
An industrial internet identification platform led by China Zhenhua Electronics Group Co has connected 26 companies, registered more than 2.3 billion identifiers, and supported nearly 2 million data parsing operations, providing a solid data foundation for the electronics sector.
A blockchain-based supply chain financing platform built by Guizhou CASICloud-tech Co has brought together 43 enterprises and 12 financial institutions, with total credit lines reaching 478 million yuan ($69.28 million). The platform helps ease financing pressure for SMEs through digital financial services.
In addition, enterprises in the zone are carrying out systematic upgrades across design, production, warehousing, logistics, and management to enable data-driven decision-making and process optimization. For example, Guizhou Yaguang Electronic Technology Co reduced production line staff from 38 to 12 through smart workshop upgrades, while raising its product qualification rate from 62 percent to 95 percent.
