At eight o'clock in the evening, Ye Ran took Lao Meng and several new employees to the shower gel production area on the first floor of the building.

As for You Dong and the remaining employees, they have to prepare for live broadcast sales on the company's side.

Tonight, we will start selling body soap while producing it.

The shower gel production area is separated from the rest of the space on the first floor, and the partition is a fireproof and silent partition wall.

The production area covers an area of 1,000 square meters, with special entrances and exits, and supporting warehouses reconstructed from underground parking areas.

The company also hired 200 filling and packaging workers, all of whom were uncles and aunts, with an average age of 45.

Their monthly base salary is 5,000, which is about 6,500 per month when you count full attendance and other benefits.

In the past few days, because they have to catch up with production capacity, they have to schedule night shifts, and after two days when the production capacity catches up, they can commute normally during the day.

Of course, the night shift cannot be done in vain, and the night shift salary is calculated at three times.

Walking into the production area, the first thing is a glass door equipped with two security guards, and workers have to clock in and out to record their attendance.

Through the glass door, on the left hand side is the staff locker room, and on the right hand side is the staff rest area and staff canteen. Of course, there are only tables and chairs in the cafeteria, and meals are delivered by nearby fast food restaurants.

Walking through the hallway, you will find the shower gel production area.

Five 2,000-litre mixing kettles are placed separately in a closed hall with a large space where the bath gel ingredients are also carried out.

Outside the workshop, there are five filling and packaging lines with the function of chain drive platform.

The five stirring kettles correspond to five different shower liquid products, and the bottom of the stirring kettle is equipped with a precision pump with flow control function, which pumps the bath liquid stock solution to the outside filling machine.

Yesterday, Ye Ran had already taken a few veterans and workers to prepare the original solution of the bath liquid.

After an overnight rest, the body wash has been completely emulsified and the fine air bubbles inside have been eliminated, and it is ready to be filled.

In the production area, the workers are already in place.

When they saw their boss and employees appear at the door, they all stood up happily and greeted Ye Ran and his party.

Working here pays well, the work is simple and easy, and it includes lunch at noon, which of course they like.

According to the convention, on the first day of the factory's formal production, the leader or boss has to talk about the previous paragraph.

Whether it's painting a pie or talking nonsense, it seems that there will be such a paragraph.

Ye Ran didn't know what to say, so he cleared his throat and told everyone that if everything went well in production in the past few days, he would send everyone a red envelope for starting work.

Ye Ran then waved his hand, "Then let's get started." ”

Start!

Lao Meng went to the closed batching workshop and started the power supply of the precision pump on the stirring kettle.

The workers on the assembly line also sat down at this time, some expecting and some nervously waiting for the upcoming packaging work.

Of course, they are not inexperienced, they have also practiced the encapsulation process with pure water in the past two days, and each person only needs to be responsible for one process, and there is basically no mistake.

As the precision pump machine began to work, the team leaders of the five production lines saw the green light of the filling machine equipment at the front of the assembly line, and also gave an order to start the first step of the filling process.

Five filling machines are the most expensive equipment on the line.

When production began, workers in coveralls first removed a basket of empty bottles of shower gel sealed with plastic film from a flatbed trailer on the side.

The sealing film was quickly slid off with a paper cutter, and then another worker clamped it into the basket with a clamp.

The designed fixture can just pick up a row of ten empty bottles, which are clamped onto the conveyor belt in front of the filling machine, and the worker in charge of operating the filling machine then presses the filling button.

The apron conveyor automatically rotates to transfer the empty bottles to the filling port of the filler, which then automatically clamps the empty bottles with the fixed bottle opening.

When the ten empty bottles are clamped and fixed in a specific position, the ten filling valves above follow and dive downward, just against the mouth of the bottle.

Filling began.

Ten filling valves quickly fill a certain amount of bath solution, and after a few seconds, the empty bottle is filled with two liters of bath solution.

The filling valves are then lifted automatically, and at the same time they make a whirring inhalation sound.

This is an automatic suck-back function that sucks up the remaining bath liquid in the filling valve, preventing it from dripping onto the bottle or conveyor belt.

Finally, the bottle mouth was loosened, and the plate conveyor belt transferred ten bottles of shower gel to the assembly line workbench.

Several workers sitting here couldn't wait, and the moment the shower gel was delivered to a specific location, some workers pressed down the semi-automatic capping machine on the workbench.

There are ten bayonets on the capping machine, corresponding to ten bottles of shower gel, and after the bayonet is covered with the shower gel, a worker immediately takes out ten press-type bottle caps clamped with a clamp from the side.

The clamp is matched with the bayonet of the capping machine, which can ensure that the press cap of the shower gel will not shake or skew.

Then start the capping machine work switch.

"Woo~" After a motor sound, ten push-type caps were automatically tightened.

In this way, the filling process is completed, and the encapsulation process is followed.

It's super easy.

Ten bottles of shower gel are then transported to the next workstation by an apron conveyor.

Here's the labeling.

As the bath gel passes over a specific track, it is laid flat on a conveyor belt on the opposite side, and there are four workers responsible for labeling.

They work in pairs, one person holds the bottle in place with a push-down clamp, the other places the label in a specific space in the fixture, and then flattens it with a push-down platen with a certain temperature.

This is a thermal transfer label.

After applying, remove the transfer film and the label instructions on it will be transferred to the shower gel bottle.

Bath gel is generally placed in the bathroom, and it is inevitable that it will be drenched frequently.

Therefore, the thermal transfer label can avoid the embarrassment of being wet with water, and then getting up or falling off.

In addition, the function of the fixture can ensure that each label is in the same position, and there will be no embarrassment of crooked pasting.

The next process is film sealing.

A specific guide will straighten the liquid, and as the liquid passes through the sealer, the sealer will apply a heat seal film to the bath gel, which will then heat and tighten.

At this point, the shower gel filling and sealing process is complete.

Workers only need to put it neatly in a cardboard box and sell it out of the factory.

Ye Ran started from the first step of the filling process, according to his timing, from empty bottle filling to the final heat shrink film sealing, the entire production process is just 30 seconds.

That is to say, each assembly line, 30 seconds can fill and encapsulate ten bottles of shower gel.

At this rate, if workers work in three shifts, they will be chasing capacity twenty-four hours a day.

Combined, the five assembly lines can produce 144,000 bottles of shower gel per day.

This is the theoretical situation, and workers changing shifts and going to the bathroom will affect productivity. But now the workers are just entering the production stage, and they are not yet skilled.

When they become proficient, their speed will increase even further.

Therefore, if you work in three shifts, it is no problem to ensure the production capacity of about 140,000.

That should be enough for now.

If the sales explode in the future, it can be fully automatic assembly line. Filling, encapsulation, packaging, all automated.

Ye Ran was thinking about the production capacity problem in his heart, and the production line of the Haiyan series had a problem.

A worker in charge of labeling applied the label backwards, and when it lifted the heating platen, it found that the heat transfer label was not glued to the bottle, but to the iron plate.

The owner was right next to it, plus it was the first day of work.

The worker inevitably became very nervous, and in order not to delay the production progress, and in order to remedy it, he even tried to tear off the label on the heating plate by hand.

It turned out to be burned.

Fortunately, it was only hot, all the workers wore Ding Qing gloves, and the temperature of the heating plate was not too high, so it was no big problem.

However, after the assembly line leader noticed the abnormality on his side, he immediately pressed the emergency stop button.

Suddenly, the apron conveyor belt of the Haiyan series stopped moving, and the workers on this line looked at the worker who made a mess with some surprise.

Ye Ran also noticed the situation over there, and hurriedly walked over to ask him if he had been burned.

"It's okay, it's okay~" The worker blushed, his gloves were burned with a mark, and after taking off the gloves, there was nothing wrong with his hands.

"How many times have I said that?" The production team leader also came over, and after seeing that the person was fine, he immediately said with a straight face: "I repeatedly emphasized in the previous training that as long as there is a mistake in the process, then immediately throw the wrong bottle of shower gel into the recycling bin." ”

"Everyone has scrap pieces, don't try to remediate the product, your efforts to remediate will delay the whole line."

"As for the heating plate, you should use a clip to pull the label off, and then throw all the bottles of shower gel that haven't had time to be labeled into the recycling bin."

"It's not that the assembly line is faulty, so you can't stop the assembly line because of mistakes."

"I ...... I know. The worker was a little overwhelmed.

"It doesn't matter, there will inevitably be various situations on the first day of production, just wait until you are proficient." Ye Ran saw that it was not a big problem, so he asked the team leader to restart the assembly line.

"Yes, boss." The team leader immediately ran to his workstation, and before starting the conveyor belt of the assembly line, he asked everyone if they had completed the process in front of them.

Get a confirmed answer before restarting.

The five team leaders on the assembly line are all technical employees who have similar experience in assembly line management.

As long as they work for a month without problems, they will become regular employees of Angel Technology.

……

Ye Ran stayed in the production area until twelve o'clock.

In the past few hours, there have been several mistakes and small accidents on the assembly line.

There is a wrong label, there is a careless, the fixture does not know the evil or what, the old card does not enter the mouth of the bath gel bottle.

There are also operation errors when capping, resulting in the press cap not being in place correctly, and the capping machine twists the lid crookedly.

At first, everyone was still a little in a hurry, but after several trainings from the team leader, they all knew that if something went wrong, they would throw the shower gel first.

If this bottle can't be done, then replace it with another one.

But these are all minor problems, and it is just a matter of dozens of more flawed bottles of blemish bath gel in the recycling bin.

Ye Ran didn't bother to organize workers to recycle and reprocess these things, the cost was so low, with this effort, it was better to send workers to the assembly line.

These defective bath gels will not be wasted either, as long as the benefits are distributed to employees and workers.

By the time Ye Ran left, 20,000 bottles of various types of bath gel had been produced in the production area.

At the same time, on the company's side, You Dong also opened the live broadcast of the Two Angel Technology account on time at ten o'clock and began to sell shower gel.

When the 10 o'clock live broadcast started, more than 50,000 users poured into the live broadcast room in less than five minutes.
