Dongguan-based private company Everwin Precision Technology Ltd is pushing toward putting 1,000 robots in use in its first phase of the zero-labor project, China National Radio reported. It said the company has already put first 100 robots on the assembly line.
"The 'zero-labor factory' does not mean we will not employ any humans, but what it means is that we will scale down the size of workers by up to 90 percent," said Chen Qixing, the company's board chairman.
After the work on smart factory started, Chen predicted that instead of 2,000 workers, the current strength of the workforce, the company will require only 200 to operate software system and backstage management.
"It is necessary to replace human workers with robots, given the severe labor shortage and mounting labor costs," said Di Suoling, head of Dongguan-based Taiwan Business Association.
Shortage of Labor?
There is no shortage of labor. There is no shortage of skills either. Rather, there is a shortage of people willing to work for what factory owners are willing to pay.
And with cheap money everywhere you look, there is plenty of money at low rates to buy robots.
Meanwhile, back in the US, McDonald's employees think they are worth $15 an hour for taking orders and handing people a sack of crap.
High wages means fewer jobs. CNN accurately reports Robots will Replace Fast-Food Workers.
Panera Bread is the latest chain to introduce automated service, announcing in April that it plans to bring self-service ordering kiosks as well as a mobile ordering option to all its locations within the next three years. The news follows moves from Chili's and Applebee's to place tablets on their tables, allowing diners to order and pay without interacting with human wait staff at all.

Can’t wait for a shooting war with China and/or Russia so Free Traders can be hunt down and tarred and feathered.
Nope. I’m simply pointing out reality. America is a terrible place to do business, especially something with a serious footprint like a factory.
Here’s a thought experiment: let’s say you wanted to build a factory. And you have 2 choices of where to build it. In one place you will spend a minimum of 5 years wrangling through the courts with environmental impact studies, and spotted owl hunts, and zoning issues and every other nuisance possible before you can even break ground at a cost of millions. In another place for a “fee” of about 1/10 that you can break ground in 6 months, no lawsuits, no studies, no BS, your factory will be up and running for 4 years before place 1 will even let start.
Given those two options where do you build your factory?
The problem isn’t who loves or hates America. The problem is who America loves and hates. And modern America hates business of any and all kinds. Our government and people specifically hamper industry, we crush expansion, we reroute water, we desperately look for any lizard that might be affected and cancel the project. Pretty much the only part of your post that’s accurate is labeling it disgusting. It is disgusting how much effort we as a country put into killing businesses and then bitching they don’t hire enough people.
It is my contention you could take away ALL regulations, taxes and unions and the anti American Free Traitors would still move their factories over seas.
That’s a cute contention, out here in reality businesses make business decisions, they put factories where it makes economic sense. Right now it usually does not make sense to build anything in America.
As long as you need emotionality and name calling you’ll be behind the curve on the issue. It’s about profit and logic. Anybody that can’t handle that is just squawking and not helping.
I guess the founding fathers were emotional protectionists too. By the way do you have a hole or cave to hide in to avoid being hung from a lamp post when a shooting war starts; China vs. Japan and the USA?. Free traitors aren’t goiog to do so well, you’d better plan ahead.
No. They were smart enough to understand the economics. You know countries with heavy trade with each other have never entered a way. So if there’s somebody helping that “effort” is the free trade, making sure that if China got into a war with us the first thing they’d do is go bankrupt.
See, this is the problem with the need for insults. You have no facts, you know you have no facts, so you lean on name calling and outright fiction. Try a post without name calling, go ahead, I dare you.
I will wait to see you shoot off about free Trade in a hot war with China. We’ll see. lol. I’ll bet you clam up like the little crap weasel most Free traitors seem to be.
It’s gonna be a long wait. You folks have been predicting a hot war with China for over 20 years, so far we’re right and you’re wrong.
Oh, and you failed the challenge. Incapable of a post without name calling. Well, we’re done. Have fun.
