11. You can’t do anything
without the circuit
board. SMT machines
install surface mounted
components on the circuit
board. Eight SMT lines are
in place here. Zhou Bo is the
Manager of this department:
“We work daily in two eight-
hour shifts and produce
24,000 circuit boards with 90
employees.”
12. The AOI (Automatic
Optical Inspector) checks
that all the components are
correctly mounted on each
circuit board.
13. After all the surface
mounted components have
been installed, the larger
components have to be
mounted. Four AI machines
(Automatic Insertion) have
been operating here since
2011 with more to be added
soon.
14. The software is loaded
onto the chip here. Two
chips can be flashed at the
same time, a process that
takes about 20 seconds.
Two machines operate in
parallel. These machines
are also new for Panodic;
before that the chips were
each loaded manually in the
programmer.
15. Manual component
assembly takes place here.
Eight assembly lines are in
operation here and Chen Yi
Jiao is one of the Manager
of this department: “310
employees work here. At the
moment we are working one
daily eight-hour shift.”
16. At the end you have a
complete receiver. 10 of
these assembly lines can
be found on this floor in the
Panodic production facility.
450 employees work here.
17. The first station after a
receiver is manufactured
and before it leaves the
factory is where a receiver
is “burned in” for a total of
four hours; in other words,
the receiver is powered up
and put into operation.
18. A look in the storeroom.
It’s 2200 Sq-meters in size
and made up of two levels.
