What Blue Earth does

Shanghai Blue Earth Technology Co., Ltd. (上海蓝色星球科技股份有限公司) is a Chinese digital platform provider serving the architecture, engineering, construction, and urban management industries. Founded in 2012 and headquartered in Shanghai's Jing'an district, the company is publicly listed on China's NEEQ under ticker 834529 and operates with a workforce of 101–250 employees.

The company's core offering is a platform-plus-modules architecture anchored on 3D GIS and Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology, augmented by digital twin, computer vision, and supporting infrastructure layers. Its product portfolio spans the engineering digitalization business platform, the BIM collaborative management platform, the smart construction site platform (智慧工地), the BIM smart operations and maintenance platform, an Intelligent Building Management System (IBMS), a digital twin-based electrical substation monitoring system, the smart city CIM (City Information Modeling) platform, and supporting private cloud and Hyperledger Fabric-based blockchain infrastructure. Underlying technical components include a proprietary CIM engine, BIM model lightweighting and conversion tooling, multi-algorithm computer vision for real-time construction site safety monitoring, and two newly launched AI products: the Cost Robot (CER V2.0) for engineering cost consulting and the Next-Generation AI Industrial Operating System (NG-AIOS) targeting manufacturing production environments.

The company serves two primary vertical segments: Chinese government and smart city authorities, and engineering and construction enterprises. GTM is direct sales via a business consultation hotline (021-5662 6557) and WeChat-based engagement (sh_blueearth), supplemented by content marketing through a video account, industry articles, and a WeChat "Digital Frontier" community. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and the revenue model is not detailed in available source material; monetization is inferred to be project- and platform-license-based given the AEC and government customer mix. The company also offers services including BIM model conversion, photorealistic rendering, custom 3D modeling, and metaverse/AI experience services.
