Foxconn to Boost Robot Usage Considering how much public exposure the Apple factories run by Foxconn in China have received, it doesn’t come as much of a surprise that they are planning to use robots to automate more of their production lines. They received a lot of attention last year for many worker suicides after horrendous pay, working hours and conditions were exposed. Chairman Terry Gou officially stated that they planned to up the number of robots they used from the current 10,000 to a much larger 300,000. He said that this would change “workers from more routine tasks to more value-added positions in manufacturing such as research and development, innovation and other areas that are equally important to the success of our operations”. They have already discussed plans to send a lot of their production to India where wage increases have yet to occur. After the spate of suicides, Foxconn was forced by Chinese officials to raise wages, making the business of mass producing Apple’s pretty gadgets far less profitable. Alistair Thornton, China analyst for IHS Global Insight in Beijing, said that the company was “leading the way in the next phase of automation for low-cost production”. “It’s no longer easy to double production by doubling your work force, it might be now cheaper to buy a new machine in the long run,” he added. This could be one way to keep their factories in China and keep the money flowing; though it will of course mean less workers are needed.
