I find your factory tours illuminating. You do a very good job! I have two minor criticisms of your interviewing style which I will try to explain clearly. If you were to temper your enthusiasm a little by "biting your tongue" (both metaphorically and actually) your interviews might flow a little smoother. You tend to speak over your subjects with a breathless staccato that puts them on the defensive. And please try not to take this the wrong way. Ok? But letting your mind race at a hundred miles an hour is not a sign of genius but rather a lack of discipline. If something leaps to your mind, maybe make a note of it. Then later at an opportune time, you could ask your subject about it. In other words, "Oh I see" is often a better answer than rapidly blurting out what you know about a subject. You are the interviewer, not the interviewee. In other words, coax more, talk less. I would be interested in you touring automated "reshored" factories in countries outside of East Asia. Large multinationals will likely continue to move their production out of China just as they moved much of their production out of Japan during the 1970s and 1980's and then Taiwan and South Korea in in the 1980's and 1990's. Assuming there are no catastrophic events (G-d forbid) within another few decades factories seem like they will be so automated that they actually essentially like laser printers today. In another thirty years or so, it is conceivable that organizations with access to significant valuable raw materials (the recolonization of Africa today is reminiscent of the Scramble for Africa that took place at the end of the 19th century and beginning of the 20th century) will likely put those raw materials in one end of the factory like a sheet of blank paper goes into a laser printer, and a few hours later out the other end of that factory will come the finished goods (which would be akin to the paper printed by the aforementioned laser printer). But that process will not happen overnight. Having studied with many East Asians and having lived in Japan, I am confident that East Asian engineers will not come up with as many clever and creative solutions to factory automation as their counterparts in many other countries. It does not matter how many East Asians secure Masters and PhD from top Western universities. Their cultures (including their religions) discourage creativity and ingenuity. Give me a few top engineers from cities such as Tehran, Baghdad, Cairo, Tel Aviv, Beirut, Damascus, Istanbul, Moscow, Kiev, Milan, Zurich, Berlin, Amsterdam, Paris, London, and/or New York and I am confident they would run circles around the presumably Chinese engineers pictured in this video. As cheap labor becomes less and less important and pollution controls are slowly being enforced, notably China's competitive advantages in manufacturing is disappearing but as factory automation increases, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan are also likely to lose their competitive advantages (inertia plus massive government support) as well. Watching this interview made me think of a hypothetical tour of automotive plants in the Motor City (Detroit, Michigan, USA) in the 1960's when things still looked rosy but over the next couple of decades become anything but rosy for hundreds of thousands of factory workers as they lost jobs both to automation and East Asian manufactures. Sure, today many of the best manufacturing in the world actually takes place in China. No, it is not just iPhones but rather myriad top quality products are manufactured in China today. But that is not due to great Chinese engineering. Not at all. It is due primarily to foreign firms manufacturing in China to take advantage of cheap labor and lax enforcement of pollution laws. And the idea that Japan, South Korea, Taiwan or any of the countries in Southeast Asia will have the scientific and engineering talent to compete internationally is sheer fantasy. The West essentially outsourced manufacturing to East Asia after World War II. But those days are rapidly coming to a close due primarily to automation (computers + robots) and is being pushed along by political policies (pseudo-nativism). Japan still has not recovered from the real estate bubble of the 1980's for one simple reason: Japan's short-lived position as the king of manufacturing actually ended right around that time. Sure, East Asia (and most notably China) is still the workshop for the world, but East Asia won't likely be for long for economic reasons alone. Economies do not operate in a vacuum. Obviously, if the government, say, in Beijing is unable to maintain its iron-fisted yet tenuous grip on power the decline of China's preeminent manufacturing position would be accelerated. Furthermore, the disturbing and dangerous pseudo-nativist political movements in much of the West seem likely lead to increased tariffs and quotas enacted against East Asian products (despite the recent trade agreement between the EU and Japan which is not nearly as significant as many pundits seem to believe). Those would, by design, decrease East Asia's competitive advantage as well. Despite purportedly inventing gunpowder and the compass, Chinese scientists and engineers are not poised to lead more Chinese companies into the ranks of world manufacturing leaders, rather they are poised to be relegated to the second-class status that they occupied just a couple of decades ago. Sure, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan have some of the most sophisticated manufacturing plants in the world today. But despite massive investments in robotics, they are all facing competition that they will likely not be able to beat. East Asian engineers are not the best in world because their cultures (and particularly their religions) cannot compete with other cultures (notably Christian, Muslim, and Jewish ones). It is difficult to imagine Western scientists intensely studying the works of modern East Asian scientists but the reverse is commonplace. For over a thousand years first Muslim scientists (during Europe's Dark Ages) and later Western scientists (beginning with the Renaissance) created the overwhelming majority of scientific work that serious scientists and engineers study today. East Asian scientific contributions over the last thousand years have been so small as to be essentially insignificant. Therefore, I hope you will consider focusing your factory tours outside of East Asia. Seeing how, say, Chinese and Taiwanese manufacture products is illuminating because it shows how many of the products sold today are produced. Borrowing on my previous analogy, instead of a tour of an automobile plant in Detroit, Michigan, USA (the Motor City) in the 1960's, I would have wanted to see a tour in Aichi prefecture, Japan in the 1960's in the eponymous Toyota city. Notwithstanding my above criticisms, I hope you will continue your fine factory interviews. I do find them illuminating.
Great video, I've been wanting to see what TechNexion was like at their facilities for a long time now. Just sat through the whole video in one sitting!
I really enjoyed this video. I am a SME in SMT and thought this was a great video that showed a well thought out SMT process. TechNexion will continue to do well from what process that are in place. Contact me if you need an SMT Process Engineer. Thank you.
please, i need a device or monitor equipment that can be use as a counter to count the number of live cattle that walk into per-slaughtering room before slaughter in the abattoir.software and hardware device that can do the task .
very nice video, chapeau for Marcel and his employees for having such a great and clean company. again makes me proud to be Dutch (big tumbs and a wink )
This company is good the person of tour looks experience about the compony need I see they like Japan this is good, equipment is top so error reduce Panasonic good quality and speed all time CKD one of the best SPI I would like to see Vi Pi on there AOI good 5S good all department this company is better to other Automotive company is important have good control off the process looks good traceability berry important to kwon what happen when you have one problem. Better can be no more two people for line SMT better only one, more automatic system software for SMT AOI,SPI in line using ng buffer quality information, first rate pass better no use pcbs bad mark, no good manual mounting we like see tack time of process Every thing is good except person of the camera need go to eat some pizza and more experience about this process. Good look for this company.
There should be a gerber file for each physical layer of the PCB, along with a layer for paste, silkscreen, solder masking, drills etc. The paste layer would be used as a starting point for the stencil design submitted to the stencil shop. Each company is different, but depending on how you manage your package library the paste layer may not even need to be modified before the stencil is cut. Where I work, we go through a stencil verification process and modification process prior to giving the stencil shop the go-ahead.
There is a mistake at 34:45. The interviewer asked "this is made in Taiwan, not in China". It is wrong. If you say "This is made in Taiwan province of China, not the mainland China", then it is no problem. All of you must be clear the basic knowledge of that Taiwan is just a province of China. Taiwan belongs to China. Taiwan is a part of China. Although the two sides of the Straits have not been reunified, Taiwan's status as a part of Chinese territory has never changed, neither, therefore, has China's sovereignty over Taiwan ever changed. youdao
By 2050, North America, Europe won't need Asia anymore, we'll have our 3D printer's small shop at every street corner, 10th generation AI factory robots all over the US, Canada, Europe...And who and where to repair them if broken? In the USA, CANADA, FRANCE, GERMANY... Muahahaha (the evil laugh)
3D printing won't work. Muahahaha. Also, call me when you have a robot that can take out the trash and wash the dishes, I think people overestimate what robots and AI can do. Don't get me wrong, I think robots, AI and 3D printing has potential, but it's not being implemented effectively the way I think it should.
@@charbax So we're basically doomed here in Canada. Once the foreigners overtake the housing markets, like High-Rise rental Condos bs, and the construction boom fades away, all the average citizens with avg. IQ's will be unemployed or underemployed, while the rich all think that they're superior to the lower-income people. F landlords
@@galactic904 Don't worry, universal basic income and total rent forgiveness will become a global standard, your landlord will still get his building paid for, somehow. The AI and Robots will pay for it. And 3D Printers will pretty much print money for everybody. All will be fine
@@charbax During this pandemic, it could be an excellent time for the US and Canada to focus more on implementing Social Democratic bills and laws. 3D Printers printing money, haha, Bitcoin is better and more legal. After the Depressions of the 1920s and WW2, they did not print any money back then, but after the 2008 Housing Bubble, the feds were printing tons of it. First, the US feds bailed out the Banks, (why weren't the employees from many companies not bailed out). So first the Oligarchs get bailed out. In all, $ 8 trillion. And the unemployed in mid-US voted for Trump because they didn't get any of the $8 trillion
Impressive office space and very impressive manufacturing department. They must be doing quite well.

Great video, I've been wanting to see what TechNexion was like at their facilities for a long time now. Just sat through the whole video in one sitting!
Cool. I did not know TechNexion had their own factory. I just assumed they handled HW & SW design and outsourced manufacturing.
I really enjoyed this video. I am a SME in SMT and thought this was a great video that showed a well thought out SMT process. TechNexion will continue to do well from what process that are in place. Contact me if you need an SMT Process Engineer. Thank you.
can you do a factory tour of one of the high end audio makers? such as McIntosh in New York? or dCS In the UK?
Very nice office & product plan 😊
Great video, very interesting. Thanks!
Nice tour !
glad to see senior people also working hands on on latest tech 👍
Man, I would love to work for this company
Great video !!!
please, i need a device or monitor equipment that can be use as a counter to count the number of live cattle that walk into per-slaughtering room before slaughter in the abattoir.software and hardware device that can do the task .
Very very nice tour... Thank you very much Nicolas and TechNexion to share this video. I learn alot and very enjoy the video.
Nice production line and it's very interesting production line lovely
very nice video, chapeau for Marcel and his employees for having such a great and clean company. again makes me proud to be Dutch (big tumbs and a wink )
So um uh...I loved the video!
Great tour! uncut and gpl ftw
Wow very interesting production line.
Congratulations full of admiration for your enterprise, hope to work with/for your company in the future.
nice office environment
Awesome video, awesome company
I used to live nearby, next to the Far Eastern hospital. Taiwan is a great place for westerners to live. Everyone is incredibly friendly.
Wow. Very impressive.
Wat een baas die Marcel!
Why machines work only 20 hours a day? As had been said above at 44:37. Thanks
Maintenance & restocking machines & setup for different pcb's.
Very nice information thanks
I really enjoyed this great video!
Running bad mark? On 43:10
This company is good the person of tour looks experience about the compony need
I see they like Japan this is good, equipment is top so error reduce Panasonic good quality and speed all time CKD one of the best SPI I would like to see Vi Pi on there AOI good 5S good all department this company is better to other Automotive company
is important have good control off the process looks good traceability berry important to kwon what happen when you have one problem.
Better can be no more two people for line SMT better only one, more automatic system software for SMT AOI,SPI in line using ng buffer quality information, first rate pass
better no use pcbs bad mark, no good manual mounting we like see tack time of process
Every thing is good except person of the camera need go to eat some pizza and more experience about this process.
Good look for this company.
OK I will eat some pizza, thank you.
0:05 Marcel has very bad breathing. He sounds like he struggles to breathe whilst talking and walking.
Great video as usual.
Good to see a Chinese manufacturer who has proper testing equipment (Gwinstek power supplies) Instead of those cheap power supplys and cheap tools...
How to design stencil.
There should be a gerber file for each physical layer of the PCB, along with a layer for paste, silkscreen, solder masking, drills etc. The paste layer would be used as a starting point for the stencil design submitted to the stencil shop. Each company is different, but depending on how you manage your package library the paste layer may not even need to be modified before the stencil is cut. Where I work, we go through a stencil verification process and modification process prior to giving the stencil shop the go-ahead.
What about Windows 10 iot?
TechNexion says in the video that they insist to only work with open source.. otherwise they wouldn't be able to provide support..
It builds to an episode of "The Office" Garreth included. jk
good job
Management system is good .
The MD sounds like has some breathing problems? Keeps making this funny noise.
Its because he's stressing his voice to speak clearly and loudly so it can be captured on camera.
Ubuntu software 33:31
Sewah...
Exploding Nitrogen... LOL
