For iPhone 7, Foxconn uses 10,000 robots to catch up

July 04, 2021

In the past, whenever the new Apple product was released, the busiest employees were always Foxconn employees. Now, what you are seeing may be robots that are continuously operating.

According to previous news, Foxconn has launched a reward program for the next-generation iPhone. If employees successfully recommend newcomers to the assembly team, they will receive a reward of up to RMB 1400 per person. But this seems to be only part of the plan. Foxconn prefers to use robots instead of ordinary workers.

A few years ago, the world's largest foundry introduced a large number of self-developed Foxbot robots on the production line. Although the product features are not perfect, but in the case of 24 hours of non-stop operation, the efficiency of these robots is much higher than General staff.

It is understood that in order to speed up the progress, Foxconn will deploy 10,000 new Foxbot robots to assemble a new generation of iPhone. Some media pointed out that on average Foxbot can complete the assembly of up to 30,000 iPhone 7s. This way, almost all iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus are assembled by Foxbot robots.

In May of this year, the Kunshan municipal government had announced a Foxconn factory data: Since the launch of the iPhone 6 in 2014, Foxconn has used robots to replace more than half of its workers, and the number of local workers has been reduced from 110,000 to 50,000. Dai Jiapeng, general manager of Foxconn Automation Technology Committee, said that these robots have covered about 70% of the mechanical process. According to this trend, it seems difficult for us to see the front of Foxconn in the future.

Foxconn began researching and developing industrial robots in 2007. In 2009, it completed the development of 15 Foxbot robots. The applications of these robots are various, such as spraying, assembly, and handling. Foxconn related personnel indicated that it may even be possible in the future. Foxbot sells externally.

According to a plan disclosed by Guo Tingming a few years ago, Foxconn will deploy 1 million Foxbot robots to its factories in the next few years. This means that most employees of Foxconn worldwide will be replaced...

Of course, the deployment of these robots Foxconn also has to pay a very high price, according to the average cost of 2 to 25,000 US dollars per calculation, the total cost of 1 million units is almost an astronomical figure.
