Behind-the-Scene of HONOR's New Intelligent Manufacturing Industrial Park

Tweet

With unique synergy between R&D and manufacturing capabilities, HONOR is confident to provide premium products and best-in-class user experiences to Filipino Consumers.

HONOR , a leading global provider of smart devices which recently confirmed its comeback to the Philippines last August 9, 2022, revealed the proprietary technology behind its smartphones, laptops, wearables, and routers made exclusively in the HONOR Intelligent Manufacturing Industrial Park. The highly-secured facility is the brand's first self-funded factory. Demonstrating excellence, it’s the brand's commitment to delivering cutting-edge innovation as testament to HONOR’s capability to manufacture high-quality premium products at scale.

HONOR Intelligent Manufacturing Industrial Park

“The opening of the HONOR Intelligent Manufacturing Industrial Park was a significant milestone of our success in integrating our R&D capabilities into our manufacturing processes. The consolidation allows us to better harness our expertise across both fields,” said George Zhao, CEO of HONOR Device Co, Ltd. “In addition to bolstering our manufacturing capacities, the smart manufacturing facility houses world-class production, testing and quality control equipment that ensures our premium products live up to our customers’ high expectations.”

Seamless Integration between R&D and Manufacturing

The HONOR Intelligent Manufacturing Industrial Park is the brand’s first self-funded factory. Equipped with cutting-edge manufacturing and testing facilities to support every aspect of smartphone manufacturing, the Park is integral to assuring the quality of the brand’s premium offerings. With 20 percent of the staff working in the Park being R&D personnel, HONOR weaves its R&D resources into the Park’s core capabilities, maximizing the synergy between the two and enabling manufacturing technology to keep pace with innovation.

​​Managing End-to-End Quality Control with the Power of Automation and Intelligence

Automation reduces the variation and defects caused by human errors resulting in greater consistency in quality. HONOR’s Intelligent Manufacturing Industrial Park is equipped with industry-leading high precision automatic manufacturing technology, including an automatic precision assembly machine (for installing the 89° Super Curved Display used in HONOR smartphones) that can achieve assembly precision of up to 75 microns (about a hair’s diameter). The automatic battery assembly equipment adopts high-precision optical detection which can detect foreign bodies (as small as up to 40 microns) and monitor real-time pressure, ensuring safety of batteries produced and reducing safety risks caused by manual work. Seventy-five percent of the production line is completed using automation, of which more than 40 percent was developed by HONOR’s own Research & Development team. HONOR’s automated production line enables one smartphone to leave the line every 28.5 seconds (cycle time).

Quality control is ensured from the manufacturing to testing phase through the close monitoring of every step of the assembly line. When an anomaly is detected, an alert is triggered followed by timely correction of the issue. While the common industry practice is to separate assembly and burn-in testing (offline aging process), HONOR uses an online aging process where assembly and burn-in testing are done in one process. HONOR’s process consists of over 150 prediction tests that quickly detect quality issues and shortens the turnover and testing period.

HONOR has adopted the “manufacturing supermarket" concept to build a lean and intelligent material distribution system. The real-time demand of the production line is linked to the intelligent selection of off shelf components. As a result, colleagues can manage a rapid error-free process of material selection that is then automatically delivered to the production station by Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV) across floors and inventory areas. After product packaging is completed, the AGV’s intelligent scheduling system automatically picks up the products.

Three Pillars of Manufacturing Excellence

Automation, digitalization, and intelligent technology serve as the cornerstones underpinning the Park’s core manufacturing capabilities. The Park operates with 75 percent of its production line automated, minimizing the risk of human error. Additionally, more than 40 percent of the automated production equipment is developed in-house, which serves as further evidence of the tight integration between R&D and manufacturing capabilities at the Park.

All key equipment in the production facility supports digital control systems, allowing HONOR to better manage the entire production line and reap better efficiency as well as improve product quality.

Top Immunity Boosting Habits and Essentials You Need For Your Family’s Protection

Tweet

#BeReady Everyday and Build Immunity Resilience from morning to night

Maintaining good health for you and your family requires discipline, hard work, and consistency. As a breadwinner, the responsibility of taking care of your family goes beyond being the main provider and paying bills, extending to other duties like running errands, and of course, making sure their health is in top form. In order to accomplish all that, taking care of yourself must also be a priority, as sickness is not an option.

With the rise of disease-causing germs and viruses along with the factors of modern-day life, breadwinners are looking for the best and most effective ways to strengthen their own and their family’s immunity to avoid illnesses.

Here are some of the immunity-boosting habits that you can start practicing to build a healthy routine that supports and strengthens your family’s immune system:

Start Your Mornings Right

Mornings don’t need to be dreadful if you swap out worrying about the tasks of the day with setting aside some me-time sessions instead. Getting up earlier than the world and enjoying the peace and quiet with a morning meditation under the sun will instantly brighten your mood and give you an extra dose of vitamin D. If you have no access to an outdoor area, don’t miss out on your vitamin D and get your daily immunity boost with just one tablet of Ascorbic Acid + Zinc + Cholecalciferol (Redoxon®) Triple Action dissolved in a glass of water, along with proper diet and exercise.

Maintain a Healthy Diet

It’s the number one advice of doctors for a reason! A healthy and balanced diet contains the essential nutrients to support the immune system. The key to this is in meal planning. You can start by preparing a weekly meal plan for your family that incorporates more fruits and vegetables in every meal to limit your family’s consumption of processed food and excessive sugar.

Take Vitamins and Supplements

There are days that your body will not be able to receive the sufficient amount of vitamins and minerals it needs. On those days, supplements are your best friend since adequate and regular supply of essential nutrients is needed to help strengthen the immune system and help fight off the germs and viruses that may cause diseases, with proper diet and exercise. ¹  

It’s a good thing that the world’s pioneer immunity brand since 1934, Ascorbic Acid + Zinc + Cholecalciferol (Redoxon®), has finally arrived in the Philippines! Boosting your mornings with this family breakfast immunity drink, you can be confident in getting the essential micronutrients you and your family need. Ascorbic Acid + Zinc + Cholecalciferol (Redoxon®) Triple Action defense combines Vitamin C that helps protects body from oxidative stress, Vitamin D3 to help strengthen immunity, and Zinc to help defend the immune system in just one tablet dissolved in a glass of water, along with proper diet and exercise.

Engage in an Active Lifestyle

Exercise doesn’t just keep you fit, but it also improves your mood and can help decrease the risk of chronic diseases. Whether it’s a full-body workout, playing sports, or even simple activities like walking for half an hour, make it a part of your daily schedule to move your body every day! A good tip is choosing exercises that you and your family can enjoy together to make it a bonding experience. Adding these into your day improves your blood circulation, flushes out toxins, and stimulates the immune system to detect illnesses earlier.

Practicing Safety Protocols

Prevention is always better than cure when it comes to you and your family’s health. Continuing to practice minimum safety protocols such as wearing proper masks, social distancing, and constant cleaning of your hands and surfaces will save you a lot of the potential hassles that sickness brings.  

Pursuing a strong immunity for you and your family will require some changes in your routine and discipline to maintain them. Gradually adding in these practices into your current routine will help your body and mind #BeRedoxonReady for a healthier immune system, with proper diet and exercise.

Ascorbic Acid + Zinc + Cholecalciferol (Redoxon®) is available on all leading drugstores nationwide and e-commerce sites in tubes of 15 tabs for Php 254 SRP and 30 tabs for Php450 SRP.
