They can be listed as: 1. Material deposition technologies, such as casting and sintering, or the new "rapid manufacturing" techniques developed rapidly in the last ten years. 2. Joining techniques, in which riveting, friction stir welding (FSW), welding and assembly are classified. 3. Forming, where hot working techniques like forging and cold working techniques such as forming, spinning and involute splines production are placed. 4. Material separation, including shearing, nibbling, punching, cutting by laser and cutting by high pressure water or abrasive waterjet (AWJ). 5.

- What is production engineering?arrow_forwardFoxconn operates a network of factories across the Chinese mainland employing 1.2 million people, that makes products for tech companies that include Apple, Hewlett Packard, and Dell. The electronics manufacturing giant has been on a steady course for a while to replace man power with robotic systems. “Foxconn (has) vowed to install up to 1 million robots in its factories over the next three years, which analysts suggested was in part to address long-time scandals such as high suicide rates among employees and exploitation of workers.” Foreign manufacturers in China are also viewing upgrades as vital to their operations in the country. In fact, numerous multinational companies have recognized the long-term benefits of replacing human labor with robots. 1- Many companies outsourced their manufacturing activities to Foxconn due to its low labor costs.
