NANJING -- At a Sanxiao toothbrush factory in East China's Jiangsu province, employees were carefully monitoring robotic arms performing precise injection molding on the production line, while in an adjacent exhibition hall, another employee was busy attending a video call with an overseas client. Interestingly, one out of every three toothbrushes worldwide comes from Hangji, which was aptly named "China's toothbrush capital" by the China National Light Industry Council in 2003. Yangzhou Sanfeng Brush Co Ltd, in collaboration with a leading artificial intelligence research company from south China's Shenzhen, has recently developed an AI-powered electric toothbrush.
