Qingtian's industrial AI agent debuts overseas

Industrial AI intelligent agent training equipment for the vocational education sector was unveiled on March 19 in Qingtian county in Lishui, Zhejiang province, accompanied by a ceremony marking its first export shipment.

Seven units, valued at over 13 million yuan ($1.88 million), were loaded for delivery to universities in Vietnam and Singapore, marking a new milestone in Qingtian's integrated development of intelligent manufacturing and overseas Chinese trade.

The equipment was independently developed by Zhejiang Haizhichen Industrial Equipment, a company that settled in Qingtian's Wenxi town in late 2024.

This equipment fills a global gap in industrial AI training tools for vocational education. By integrating technologies such as robotic arms, high-precision 3D cameras, and large AI models, the system simulates smart manufacturing scenarios and provides a high-end platform for talent cultivation.

According to the company, this is the world's first industrial AI intelligent agent applied to vocational education. Since beginning production in Qingtian in 2025, the company has grown rapidly, achieving an annual output value of 240 million yuan.

Qingtian's export success is underpinned by its strong base in overseas Chinese trade. Leveraging a global network of over 100,000 overseas Chinese engaged in international trade, the county has promoted an integrated development model combining trade, manufacturing, and technology.

It has supported the establishment of more than 120 overseas warehouses and built a closed-loop system of local R&D paired with overseas Chinese distribution networks.

Qingtian has also established Zhejiang's first overseas Chinese warehouse trade promotion association, which provides full-chain services to help companies overcome barriers to overseas expansion.
