INTCO Opens Day: Tsinghua & Peking University Students Experience Smart Manufacturing Innovation

The future of smart manufacturing came alive as 16 elite students from Tsinghua and Peking University embarked on an immersive OpenDay journey at INTCO’s facilities from June 14-15. Under the theme “Exploring Smart Manufacturing, Shaping INTCO’s Future,” participants witnessed firsthand how INTCO Medical—the world’s largest latex-free disposable gloves manufacturer—integrates cutting-edge automation, sustainable design, and global talent development to redefine medical production.

Where Technology Meets Precision

The tour began at INTCO’s eco-conscious headquarters, where smart lighting systems, energy-efficient controls, and soundproof meeting pods demonstrated the company’s commitment to sustainable operations. Students entered the heart of innovation: INTCO Medical’s nitrile glove production lines. Here, they observed the seamless transformation of raw materials into premium disposable nitrile gloves—from automated dipping and precision drying to AI-powered quality inspection. The fully digitised process, with zero human contact in critical zones, highlighted how INTCO scales production while maintaining sterile integrity for medical-grade gloves.

A hands-on workshop in the R&D centre furthered learning. Participants crafted their latex-free disposable gloves under expert guidance, gaining a visceral appreciation for the engineering rigour behind INTCO’s hypoallergenic synthetic gloves and chemical-resistant nitrile gloves.

Circular Vision in Action

At INTCO Recycling, the narrative shifted to sustainability. Students engaged with the reclaimed materials lifecycle—from recycled plastics to artisanal photo frames—showcasing how INTCO transforms waste into functional art. This fusion of industrial design and environmental stewardship resonated deeply with attendees, illustrating INTCO’s “green-to-green” philosophy across its medical and recycling divisions.

Data-Driven Manufacturing Decoded

In the “Digital Automation” deep dive, INTCO’s AIT leaders dissected the intelligence powering their factories. Real-time case studies revealed how IoT sensors and predictive analytics optimise nitrile glove production efficiency, reduce energy consumption by 32%, and ensure 99.98% defect-free output. “What looks like magic is terabytes of data orchestrating every second,” explained an automation engineer, demystifying smart manufacturing’s core mechanics.

Global Growth and Next-Gen Talent

The executive roundtable ignited vibrant discussions on globalisation. INTCO leaders detailed how INTCO Medical dominates 120+ markets with OEM/ODM glove solutions while INTCO Recycling pioneers circular economy models worldwide. Central to this expansion is the INTCO Elite Program—a high-potential incubator for global STEM talent. As one VP emphasised: “We’re not just making medical-grade nitrile gloves; we’re building cross-border innovators who’ll redefine industrial sustainability.”

Culture: From Factory Floors to Flavours

Beyond technology, students savoured Zibo’s culinary heritage at a traditional barbecue dinner. This deliberate blend of precision engineering and cultural warmth—where conveyor belts met charcoal grills—embodied INTCO’s human-centric ethos.
