After Duan Yun and his entourage rested in the hotel for a night, early on the morning of the second day, a Toyota van parked downstairs in the hotel, which was a special car from Honjo Co., Ltd. to greet Duan Yun and his party.

After Duan Yun, Zhao Xuewu and Wang Liang got into the car, the car started slowly and lost in the direction of the suburbs of Tokyo.

85 years of Japan, it can be said that it is in the heyday of the country's golden age, looking at the skyline of the city like a forest of high-rise buildings and reinforced concrete, Zhao Xuewu looked out of the window and never retracted his gaze, in his opinion, the scene of the city in front of him is really a bit of science fiction.

Honjo Co., Ltd. is an electronics factory located 70 kilometers north of central Tokyo, which is not very large from a distance, with only two rows of factories, but it is very clean, passing through two electronic gates before finally entering the factory.

There is a two-story office building in front of the factory, and after the car stopped, two staff members immediately greeted them, opened the car door and bowed to Duan Yun and his party, leading them into the office area.

After entering the office area, Duan Yun and the three of them were greeted by a manager of Honjo Co., Ltd., and through introduction, it was learned that this person's name was Jiro Asada and he was a section manager of Honjo Co., Ltd.

Under the leadership of this section leader, Duan Yun and the three of them entered the factory to visit.

Jiro Asada is a middle-aged man who looks about 30 years old, wearing a blue work cap and a sign on his chest, and when facing Duan Yun and others, he always has a smile on his face and looks very enthusiastic.

Through Wang Liang's translation, Duan Yun and Zhao Xuewu quickly gained a certain understanding of the company.

Honjo Co., Ltd. is a medium-sized electronics company in Japan, founded in 1958, and the tape recorders and camera parts produced by their factory have been exported to the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Spain and other countries, with an annual export volume of about 14 million US dollars.

When Zhao Xuewu learned that the company, which has an annual output value of more than $14 million, has only more than 80 employees, he was stunned.

You must know that some large state-owned enterprises in Taiyuan often have tens of thousands of employees, and the annual output value is only a few million yuan, and this is still RMB, and the gap is conceivable.

In addition, this company does not look like a factory, the cleanliness of the factory and the factory is incredible, and after entering the factory, there is almost no noise to be heard, which is completely different from the scene of the roar of the workshop machines in Duan Yun Zhao Xuewu's thinking in the past.

Duan Yun also brought a camera for this visit, but when he was about to take pictures, he was stopped by Asada who politely told Duan Yuanyun that the workshop was not allowed to take pictures, and only in the exhibition area could take pictures. 117

The moment he stepped into the door of the workshop, Zhao Xuewu next to Duan Yun was immediately stunned, whether he visited the workshop in Taiyuan or Shenzhen before, his inherent impression of the factory workshop was the noise of various machines running, and the workers worked silently on the assembly line, but here his impression was completely subverted.

First of all, Duan Yun and Zhao Xuewu heard music, all kinds of music came and went in the workshop, and when they entered the core area of the workshop, they heard the sound of some machines running.

After entering the workshop, Duan Yun and Zhao Xuewu saw that there were wide aisles between various work areas, and some even formed intersections, and there were traffic lights at the intersections, but unlike the road, there was a white line or red line painted to the root of the tree on the ground.

The factory area before Duan Yun. The interior floor is also marked with red and yellow lines, which are generally used to regulate the travel route of workers, and to divide areas to limit their behavior during working hours and to prevent the loss and waste of raw materials.

However, after Asada's introduction, Duan Yun and Zhao Xuewu learned that these lines were all identified by indicating the movement route when the robot moved.

Japan is quite developed in the robot industry, experienced the cradle period of the 60s, the practical period of the 70s, and entered the popularization and improvement of enterprises in the 80s, and officially set 1980 as the first year of the popularization of industrial robots, and began to promote the use of robots in various fields.

The Japanese government and enterprises fully trust robots, boldly use robots, in solving the shortage of labor, improve productivity, improve product quality and reduce production costs, robots play an increasingly obvious role, but also become one of the core technologies of Japan to maintain a net growth rate and product competitiveness.

And this robot in the workshop of Honjo Co., Ltd. is not human-type, more like an unmanned small transport vehicle, it will automatically identify the indication line on the ground, move back and forth to carry various materials, and will automatically stop when encountering a red light at the intersection, and will avoid when encountering workers, and after Duan Yun and Zhao Xuewu entered the workshop, the music they heard was also emitted by these robots, and the music rights of different types of robots were also different, so that when the robot approached, the workers would notice, and what surprised Zhao Xuewu was that these robots were all powered by electricity, and when the robot sensed that he was about to run out of powerIt will automatically drive to the vicinity of the power source to charge.

There are also a large number of machines and robotic arms on the production line, and the electronic components on the circuit board are basically all machine welding, which is very efficient.

Zhao Xuewu was very shocked by the high degree of automation here, and Duan Yun was also a little surprised, although he already knew that the degree of automation of Japanese enterprises was very high in later generations, but he didn't expect that it had reached such a level in the mid-80s.

In addition, the quality of the workers here is also very high, whether it is the porter or the assembly personnel, they are all working hard, the production line will not stop, but slowly move forward, according to Asada introduction, if there is a problem in any link in the factory, they will pull the rope, and then the program will call the police, and then someone will soon come to solve the problem, the efficiency is very amazing.

Duan Yun and Zhao Xuewu visited the factory very slowly, and Zhao Xuewu talked more and more, and through translation, he also asked a lot about the technical things of the production line like Asada.

Duan Yun and Zhao Xuewu visited the latest and most advanced workshop production line of Honzhuang Co., Ltd. this time, and after leaving this workshop, Qian Tian led Duan Yun and others to another factory next to it, where there was the obsolete production line equipment they wanted to sell.
