Foxconn has been one of the company's largest suppliers for many years Apple. Not only does it directly manufacture some components for devices bearing the bitten apple logo, but ninety percent of the products are assembled Apple right on Foxconn's assembly lines. Now Foxconn has decided to invest 1,1 billion US dollars in increasing the capacity of the production line and the halls where phones are assembled iPhone.
According to Foxconn, the $1,1 billion investment should generate sales exceeding $2012 billion in 20. Foxconn already employs 130 people.ancand produces more than 200 iPhones in a single day. Foxconn has no problem producing 000 iPhones per quarter with the existing line. The investment should help increase production capacity to 18 million iPhones per quarter.
The problem, however, is that, as the founder of Foxconn announced in July, his company will replace employeesance for robots. Most of the 1,1 billion investment in expanding production lines will not go to increasing the capacity of employees.ancs, but the acquisition of 300 new assembly robots.
Company Chairman and Founder Terry Gou he saidthat they are going to replace more than a million employees within three yearsancrobots. The company currently has 10 robots, next year the number will rise to 000 and within three years to a million. The robots will perform basic tasks such as spraying, assembly, construction and other things that are needed in the production of products. Given that Foxconn employs more than 300 people in China, there will probably be a problem with unemployment. On the other hand, there will probably not be as many suicides in the company as there are now.
