Spring arrives early in Lingnan, and the momentum drives vigorous progress. Guangdong Sunly Intelligent Logistics Equipment Co., Ltd. has kicked‑off the new year at full capacity. More than 90% of employees have returned to work, production lines are running at full swing, order backlogs extend to May, and the new base has gone into official operation. It paints a vivid picture of vigorous business start‑up for enterprises in Gao‑bu, and serves as a typical example of high‑quality development of Dongguan’s manufacturing industry.
As an enterprise deeply engaged in intralogistics, over 80 % of Sunly Intelligent’s business targets the manufacturing sector. The company resumed work ahead of schedule on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year to push forward order delivery. According to Chairman Du Bin, orders for automated logistics‑warehousing projects have risen by over 8 % year‑on‑year, with particularly remarkable growth in overseas orders. Production scheduling for automated equipment stretches to May this year, demonstrating growing international competitiveness of its product standards and service system.
Having rooted in Gao‑bu for 15 years, Sunly Intelligent has evolved from a mere storage‑rack manufacturer into a core integrator and manufacturer of intelligent logistics equipment across China. In January 2026, Sunly Intelligent’s R&D and manufacturing base for logistics equipment was officially commissioned. With a total investment of approximately RMB 250 million and covering 24.86 mu of land, the base mainly produces four‑way shuttles, AGV mobile robots, warehouse‑management systems and other equipment. Annual production capacity can be lifted by 30 %, with expected additional annual output value exceeding RMB 200 million. It effectively eases pressure from order backlogs for logistics equipment and consolidates foundations for developing customized logistics‑warehousing solutions for customers.
The past year marked a year of key breakthroughs for Sunly Intelligent. In terms of R&D, core equipment such as intelligent logistics robots were iterated and upgraded; multiple patents and software copyrights were obtained. The enterprise was successfully listed as a key Dongguan‑based AI enterprise, and internal testing for translating technical achievements was completed. For market expansion, further progress was made in Southeast Asian and Middle‑East markets, with substantial growth in overseas orders from semiconductor, biomedicine and other manufacturing industries.
Corporate development keeps aligned with the themes of the Provincial High‑Quality Development Conference. In 2024, centering on “mutual‑promotion and dual‑strength of industry and technology”, the company conquered full‑set core technologies for four‑way‑shuttle dense‑storage solutions. In 2025, following the objective of “building a modern industrial system”, it delivered tailor‑made logistics solutions for manufacturing tracks including semiconductors and biomedicine. In 2026, it actively integrates into the theme of “coordinated development of manufacturing and service industries”. Moving beyond pure‑equipment sales, Sunly leverages its strengths in equipment manufacturing and full‑cycle intralogistics services to optimize customers’ overall logistics systems. It achieves deep‑level collaboration and joint‑growth with downstream manufacturers, emerging as a typical example of Dongguan manufacturers transforming “from selling products to selling services and solutions”.
Technological innovation remains the core driving‑force for Sunly Intelligent’s growth. This year, the enterprise will launch the “Intelligent Digital‑Engineering Platform for Logistics & Warehousing”, bringing next‑generation digital‑twin technology into formal operation. It turns logistics‑warehousing systems into “living systems” with real‑time virtual mapping and intelligent regulation. Meanwhile, intelligent logistics robots will be upgraded, applying AI and digitalization to advance logistics services. For the new‑base layout, the company plans to add pallet four‑way‑shuttle dense‑storage warehouses and assembly lines within the 4 400 m² workshop on the 6th floor, building a genuine smart factory where robots deliver materials to each workstation. In‑house‑developed technologies will serve as benchmark demonstrations for customers.
In the new year, Sunly Intelligent will continue to deepen the integration of manufacturing and services, upgrade service capabilities via technological innovation, further expand domestic and overseas market presence, interpret the development logic of Dongguan‑made‑smart products through solid work, and steadily march toward dual growth in order volume and sales revenue.
