Tong Yingwei, an entrepreneur who graduated from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), is a co-founder of Anhui Yunxi Technology Co Ltd which is resident in the Hefei National High-tech Industry Development Zone.

Tong majored in management at the university, but showed great interest in scientific research and innovation. He has obtained a number of patents in the field of the smart office and most of them have been released commercially.

In 2015, Tong realized that traditional seals in commerce were not efficient and began research on developing smart seals. He partnered with Kan Xuxin -- a fellow USTC graduate -- in R&D and they established the company in 2016.

The smart seal that has been developed is equipped with sensors, fingerprint recognition and quantum security encryption technology, which will completely change the situation for traditional seals, Tong said.

More and more seal users, including the governments of different regions and cities, have turned to Yunxi's products, according to Tong.

Yunxi is also committed to creating a series of quantum security smart office devices and systems and has become a national high-tech enterprise.
