The electronics manufacturing giant has been on a steady course for a while to replace man power with robotic systems. “Foxconn (has) vowed to install up to 1 million robots in its factories over the next three years, which analysts suggested was in part to address long-time scandals such as high suicide rates among employees and exploitation of workers.” Foreign manufacturers in China are also viewing upgrades as vital to their operations in the country. In fact, numerous multinational companies have recognized the long-term benefits of replacing human labor with robots. 1- Many companies outsourced their manufacturing activities to Foxconn due to its low labor costs.
