Liang Zuying, 48, hails from Wuying Village, a Miao ethnic-minority hamlet that is hidden deep in the towering mountains straddling Guangxi and Guizhou. In the past, the impassable mountains and rugged landscape rendered locals extremely poor. Due to their traditional views and poor family conditions, many parents did not send their daughters to school.

Zhaxi Nyima has been working in the field of power supply for about 30 years. In 2016, he took the training class and got the certificate, becoming the first person qualified of doing live-wire work in high altitude area in State Grid Tibet Electric Power Company. Live-wire operation is an important technical measure to ensure reliable power supply, but it is also a very dangerous and hard work. No matter in hot summer or cold winter, as long as there is a task, Zhaxi Nyima will climb on the high-voltage wire more than 10 meters above the ground and solve the problems. In 2018, Tashi Nyima won the title of "Tibetan Craftsman" in recognition of his professional skills. (Xinhua/Jigme Dorje)

KMC's AI system for preventing press forming defects.

KMC (Takatsu-ku, Kawasaki City), in collaboration with En Industries (Tajimi City, Gifu Prefecture), has developed a "predictive and preventive AI system" that records the operating status of presses, detects problems with dies, and allows artificial intelligence (AI) to automatically stop operations. The system is scheduled to go on sale in April 2020. The company expects annual sales of 200 million yen. In the new system, the AI learns the data of the equipment under normal conditions and gradually improves the accuracy of judgment in case of abnormalities. KMC is in charge of the overall system and sensor development. En Industries will manufacture the sensors. The number of sensors to be provided can be increased or decreased according to individual requests such as the size of the mold. Until the product goes on sale, they will invite companies to monitor and collect data to further improve the accuracy of the system.
