Factory Visit in Foshan

Foshan is growing to become and has been one of an Industrial City
in the middle of Southern China. Most of the population here are
working in various industrial factory such as sanitary products, gourment,
toys, electronics, households and buidings material.

I have visited one of the factory related to printed circuit boad (PCB).
The PCB is normally related to every electrical products which use
PCB assemblies as a based to control or process the function of each
product. To a layman, the PCB is invisible as it is built inside and covered
by outer casing. But to the people who are familiar with electronic and
engineering knowhow, the PCB assemblies is considered a brain to any
design and function of each product and gadget.
On this PCBA, you will be able to see how complicated it has been
done and wired internally or externally via PCB to each components
or processors that control it's product and functions.

This is the factory that produce Bare Printed Circuit Board.
Here you are able to see how they process the raw material
by each step until the final process of finish good that called
Bare Board.  Single layer, double layer or multiple layer board.
Silver plating, gold plating, Imersion Gold and etc.
Yes, it is just only the bare board without any electrical component
put on it. There are other companies that will use this board
to put electonics component onto it depending on kind of
products they are going to make. TV, handphone, toys, robot,
Ipod, computers, car, plane, aircraft, shinkansen, or games.
Every single product need to have a PCB.

Once you have visited this factory, you will be able to
imagine the meaning of each step and process done.
It is a kind of very high tech and advance processes
and required a basic electronic and technical knowledge
for you to understand on what they are doing.

You will also be able appreciate the skill and advance
level of each worker in handling various type of machines
and equipment available today in China.
No wonder people say that everything on earth is able
to be built in China.

It is such as an eye opener and I am wonder what will ever
be a new high tech gadget will come out of it in the next
10 or 20 years to come.
Have you see the movie title "Iron Man".? Yes we alone
can fly to outer space.

Till next time.......
see you soon.
