Comment on Inside Xiaomi’s near-fully automated factory that assembles a smartphone in 6 seconds

Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works ⁨18⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

Xiaomi said assembling a smartphone from circuit board to finished product takes about six seconds, and, at full capacity, the factory could produce more than 10 million devices annually.

That sounds like the final assembly takes six seconds, which is entirely plausible given how fast robots move.

assembling a smartphone from circuit board to finished product

I disagree, that phrasing suggests from assembling the circuit board to finished product, which I believe is impossible in 6 seconds, simply due to soldering time for components alone. The 6 seconds is only achievable on a “per unit” basis because they can make multiple units in parallel on the production line.

  You should really read the article
  
  Literally the sentence after that points out the production output is 10 million per year, which is 1 phone every ~3 seconds
  
  They are indeed claiming to put together a unit, start to finish, in 6 seconds. Implying they only have 2-3 parallel production lines

    I love the optimism.

  You should really think more about what you say. We’re talking about final assembly, not soldering individual components onto the board.

His Western brain can’t comprehend Chinese technology being superior to whatever his country is doing.

I see it in every thread about Chinese tech. There’s always someone or a group of people ready to detract from any advancements China is making.

  You clearly have absolutely no clue how automated SMD soldering or pick’n’place tech works and how fast it can do things. It’s the exact same machine assembling both Chinese and “western” products, and soldering components to PCB takes more than 6 seconds alone

    Without fail, they simply cannot tolerate China doing anything better than the West.
