Building a future-ready ecosystem


Aden partnered with Synopsys in 2019 to pioneer next-generation Integrated Facility Management (IFM), evolving from basic maintenance to full-scale property management by 2024.

Diagnosing complex needs

Synopsys’s campus posed multifaceted challenges: ensuring 24/7 reliability of mission-critical systems (HVAC, server rooms, power grids) while advancing ESG goals and managing a dynamic ecosystem of 30+ suppliers and thousands of tech professionals.

Deploying the Akila

The Akila data platform became the backbone of campus operations:

  • Digital Twins & IoT: Created virtual replicas of HVAC, power distribution, and fire-safety systems. Sensors detected VRV air conditioning anomalies before temperature fluctuations impacted R&D labs.
  • Predictive Maintenance: AI algorithms forecasted equipment failures, reducing unplanned downtime by 45%. Critical server rooms maintained 99.99% uptime.

Operationalizing sustainability

To meet LEED Gold and 40% green coverage targets:

Real-time PM2.5 monitoring and digital twins optimized energy use, cutting consumption by 20% annually.

Automated ESG tracking for waste, water, and carbon emissions, ensuring continuous compliance.

Building a collaborative ecosystem

Aden unified operations across 30+ suppliers and 2,000+ professionals:

  • Vendor Synergy Portal: Centralized fire-safety audits, maintenance schedules, and waste management workflows.
  • Talent Retention: With 3% turnover (vs. industry’s 30%), Aden’s upskilling programs trained technicians in IoT diagnostics and AR-guided repairs.

Delivering strategic value

Within two years, Synopsys achieved:

  • 25% Operational Cost Reduction: Energy savings and automated workflows redirected funds to R&D innovation.
  • Zero Safety/Compliance Incidents: Proactive monitoring ensured 100% adherence to green building standards.
  • Scalable Innovation: The campus now serves as Aden’s proving ground for smart industrial park solutions across China.

By fusing cutting-edge technology with sustainable operations, Aden elevated Synopsys’ campus beyond a physical space into an innovation ecosystem. The partnership demonstrates how strategic IFM can drive resilience, talent retention, and planetary stewardship—setting a new global benchmark for high-tech industrial parks.
