Advantech has offices and facilities worldwide, but today we'll take a tour of the Advantech
plant in Kunshan China, where we make a variety of industrial computing products
Our Kunshan plant is a small town in itself, with production buildings, offices, dormitories,
dining rooms, stores, parking lots, and ball courts
"Enabling an Intelligent Planet" is the Advantech slogan, and this is where we make
the systems that help people get things done
Put on your ESD clothing and let's go in
First, we need a design. Here we are designing a motherboard circuit
And here we are designing a computer chassis and case
This is where we design the packing material that protects the finished computer system
The SMT line starts with a bare printed circuit board. Dots of solder paste
are applied to all the little component spots in a screening process
Pick and Place machines rapidly and accurately apply components to their assigned locations
After components are placed, the board gets baked in a controlled oven
Bigger components are mounted through the board. They require a solder bath
The board climbs a shallow ramp, with a hot solder slurry below
Everything gets inspected and tested along the way
For case and chassis fabrication, we start with plain sheet steel,
which is cut, punched, bent and welded into shape
This is the paint conveyor
This is one of the assembly lines where computers are put together
Industrial computers must be robust, and reliable Sometimes they operate in harsh environments
Often they operate 24/7
And the jobs they do may be mission critical
So Advantech takes its commitment to quality seriously
These are some of our certifications
But life is not ALL serious work
Advantech employees also participate in optional special-interest clubs,
such as badminton, photography, yoga, etc
There are also planned activities, like hiking, bicycling, and tours, as well as volunteer CSR
(Corporate Social Responsibility) programs
These are some clips from the annual Sports Day in Kunshan
So from the world's highest railway to the world's fastest elevators,
from heavy mining to digital signage, from marine patrol to machine control,
wherever you go in the world, Advantech systems are there,
helping people to get things done
Hope you enjoyed the tour!
