One million robots to replace Chinese workers in Apple products factories

One million robots to replace Chinese workers in Apple products factories

Why hire workers, when you can use skilled robots that are more efficient and productive. Apparently the trend has skyrocketed, particularly in China and Netherlands, where companies such as Philips and Foxconn are planning to utilize a new wave of robots in its factories. Philips is already using roughly 128 robot arms to do the same work in its factories while Apple device manufacturer Foxconn is planning to install more than a million robots within a few years to supplement its work force. However, the Taiwanese multinational electronics manufacturing company did not disclose how many workers will be displaced or when.
