“ Chun-sheng, you still owe me 1000 machines. &Amp;rdquo;3 29th, Taipei International Convention Center, just at the inquiry stage finished his speech by General Manager of the China Science and technology He Chuncheng was a Taiwan Apple supplier boss caught.
This is a for Apple manufacturing test, Assembly machinery factory, and Advantech Board of science and technology in the production of these devices and industrial equipment such as capture card, the suppliers ' urgent need for the Advantech technologies deliver the product as soon as possible, to respond to Apple delivery pressure.
a large number of Apple's suppliers are purchasing a large quantity of automatic equipment to replace the artificial, to respond to worker shortage phenomenon in China is growing.
one Taiwanese businessman told reporters that since Foxconn workers after the jumping event in a row last year, Taiwan-funded enterprises is trying to boost productivity in automation, such as assembling Foxconn factory in Shenzhen 18,000 robot devices to reduce dependence on artificial, Taiwan-invested factory automation of switched climax will be coming in the next 2-3 years.
Apple product line instead of artificial
He Chuncheng from Taipei to Taichung and Kaohsiung last month inspected a round, “ I was surprised to find that Taiwan's industry has such a big change in the past 10 years. &Amp;rdquo; He Chuncheng recalls, especially industrial equipment production, and testing industry, particularly progress.
“ in the middle of a rice field in Taichung country, there is a small factory. Here assembled test equipment production of the iPhone, iPad, it can be made within 28 days to a test machine, from order to delivery. &Amp;rdquo; He Chuncheng told reporters that the efficiency of machinery and equipment manufacturers to his surprise, he did not expect in such a remote place, actually produced the high-tech automation equipment.
He Chuncheng told reporters that he saw a factory specializing in camera on the iPhone and iPad2 Assembly equipment, its surprising degree of automation.
“ the camera is a very small part of all plastic casting molding, there is no way using artificial to take out entirely to using Automation machine hand to clamp to a lens inside the box, and then electroplated coating to improve light transmittance, machine hand-pick up the camera again, eventually into the iPhone in the mobile phone. &Amp;rdquo; He Chuncheng described to reporters.
according to this newspaper earlier reported that Apple camera vendor of Dali light announced 2011 inputs at least NT $ 1.5 billion expansion of the production line, including new factories and new production equipment, precision machinery park in Taiwan.
another camera suppliers of yujing also just adopted a resolution of the Board, will increase productivity of NT $ 2 billion expansion of the mobile phone camera. Expansion includes plans of the original two-story building Taiwan plant to stamp on to 3, 4, and amplification of Xiamen factory production equipment.
after the introduction of automation equipment, these factories can greatly reduce the dependence on artificial, and increase productivity. He Chuncheng says, these factories will be improving the automation of production equipment and improve the yield of the production line, Apple product many precise parts in manual be susceptible to damage.
at present, some automation devices used to make Apple products are in Taiwan, including used to adorn iPhone production, testing and Assembly equipment, as well as touch screen, camera equipment, mostly in Taiwan.
He Chuncheng said, most of these on production lines are equipped with Advantech industrial computer technology production and motion control cards, video capture card, Apple popular orders directly brought Taiwan industrial control and automation industry's prosperity, Advantech technologies March one-month operating income reached 80 million dollars this year, has 54% over the last year.
