Due to the tight employment and rising wages, many plastics companies in Dongguan, Guangdong Province, plan to solve the current lack of work by introducing automation equipment and technological transformation.

Many plastic mold factories in Dongguan have started to update production equipment since last year, and this year plans to introduce a new batch of machines. According to the introduction of many workshop supervisors, one traditional machine needs to be taken care of by two or three people. Now only one person is needed, and this person can also take care of other work. At present, the labor of the factory has been reduced by 1/3.

A plastics factory located in Fenggang Town, Dongguan has the same measures due to the employment gap. According to the person in charge of the factory, although the foreign workers have been grabbed in various places in the near future, they are still unable to fill the gap in employment. The factory is preparing to introduce 16 injection molding robots again to ease the pressure on employment. It is understood that the injection molding robot is specially equipped for the automation of injection molding production, which can save 1/3 of the labor.
