时间：2018-12-18
“This time is very busy,” said a person in charge of the Foxconn Zhengzhou production line. The end of the conference does not mean the beginning of sales. They need to wait until the predetermined amount before they can distribute the production capacity well. Before that, they want Guarantee the production yield and efficiency of all new products.
At present, there are three new core assembly plants for Apple: Foxconn, Heshuo and Flextronics. But Foxconn occupies more than half of the production share.
Foxconn capacity is prioritized for iPhone XR
On September 12, Apple released three new models: iPhone Xs, iPhone Xs Max and iPhone XR.
"Apple has bet on this iPhone XR. They also admit that the more expensive iPhone XS innovation is not a lot. They think that the relatively cheap iPhone XR with similar functions may be more liked by people." Apple's Foxconn
In addition, Apple said that Apple is not satisfied with the sales of iPhone X last year, so it is hopeful for today's iPhone XR.
Although iPhone XR has added Face ID, iPhone XR does not support 3D Touch, but this machine also supports dual SIM cards in China. In addition, the iPhone XR is also equipped with the latest A12 chip, and will provide 64GB, 128GB and 256GB three capacity options.
The iPhone XR starts at $749 (the National Bank version starts at $6,499), its configuration is higher than the iPhone 8 Plus, and the price is more cost-effective. The sales date is expected to be postponed until the end of October.
According to data released by market research firm Anaccord Genuity, in the fourth quarter of 2017, Apple captured 87% of the global smartphone industry, while Apple's iPhone sales accounted for only 17.9% of total sales.
According to an employee on the iPhone XR production line, Foxconn Zhengzhou Park currently has 27 production lines for the iPhone XR, the most among the three models, the current production line is 93% yield, and the production efficiency is The production line produces 590 mobile phones per hour, which is produced every day.
The duration is 19 hours.
"At present, the production capacity is not good. The back cover of the iPhone XR is out of stock. Because it is an aluminum back cover, it is easy to fade when it is produced. Some of the back cover suppliers are manufactured by Foxconn and some are produced by Changshuo Technology." Production line and supplier before official sales in the month
We must solve these problems.
Last year, Foxconn Group encountered many difficulties in the production of Apple iPhone X mobile phones, including the low yield of upstream parts suppliers, which led to Apple delaying the release of iPhone X mobile phones, and Foxconn’s performance was also affected. In the apple
In October, when the mobile phone sales climax, Foxconn Group's revenue only increased by 3%.
According to the person in charge of the Foxconn production line, once the initial amount is determined, their line allocation can be switched quickly. Because the production process of these devices is the same, the test software is also ready-made, they only need to replace the assembly equipment.
"We are planning to make all the production lines bet on the iPhone XR. The iPhone XS will only keep 4 lines in Zhengzhou, and there will be 12 in Shenzhen Guanlan. When the quantity is released, it will switch immediately," said the person in charge of the iPhone XR production line.
1200 workers per line
Foxconn wanted to use the "Million Robotics Program" to solve the rising labor costs of Chinese factories, but from the current situation, this plan is still in the foreseeable future.
“Now there are more than 1,200 workers on each production line, and the number of production line workers has not decreased, but it is increasing every year.” The person in charge of Foxconn production line said that although automation equipment is also popular in the production line, because the iPhone is getting more and more Complex, so more and more manpower is needed.
He added that the assembly test can be used for automation, including face recognition modules, which are also done by machine. But in the process of screwing, checking and cleaning, it is still highly dependent on labor. At present, automation equipment can only complete 30- of the entire assembly process.
40%, it is difficult to exceed 50%.
"There is no way, the machine of the automation equipment is too big to plug into the mobile phone, let alone carry out the refinement operation," said the person.
The “Million Robot Project” was first proposed by Foxconn Group CEO Guo Taiming in 2011. He once claimed to assemble 1 million robotic arms in 2014 and saw the first fully automated factories in 5 to 10 years. Guo Taiming has clearly stated that "Foxconn robot meter
The plan has entered the final test phase, and the robot named Foxbots will be used first in the production of a new generation of Apple mobile phones.
But from the latest iPhone, the craftsmanship and complexity make it difficult to get rid of the workers' hands, but at the same time, the rising labor costs make Foxconn a headache.
"Now Foxconn is a dispatched employee. It usually works for 55 days and can take more than 10,000 yuan a month. This kind of salary can attract workers." The person in charge of Foxconn production line said, so this year we have a lot of energy. , you have to screw the machine.
