Today my course SMJE go to visit Canon Opto Malaysia sdn bhd at Shah Alam. We have arrived Canon Opto Malaysia at 9:00 am. After that, we take a course’s photograph with Canon factory as background.
Then, we are invited to a room. We listen a talk about safety in workplace. The lecturer tell us about the safety method that practised in Canon company. The most important thing is the fire alarm and the route to escape from the factory when the workplace fire is occur.
After that, there is a lecture about the history of Canon. We look a slide show which contain a video that tell the information of Canon. I can know that Canon is begin from early of 20th century. This company is begin by a brothers who learned the optic precision science. I am also surprice that the photocopy is invented by Canon. I can see also the film technology is replaced by digital technology.
After that, we go to see the production process of the camera. First, we need to wear a shoe plastic to reduce the dust. This because a dust in a len can be a very large shadow on the screen to take picture. We also have go through a way that blow off the dust on our body. Then, we can the production process. There are many section to admnistrate the worker to produce camera. What I can see is a production need many robotic machine to make the production time faster and make more profit. The robotic machine is based our course electronic system to build it up and can do the process that human cannot do. For example, machine can solder the component that very very small and fast. Human is cannot do it accurately and fast.
The circuit of the camera is designed by Japanese engineering. The technology of Japanese is so high level and they do not share with Malaysia partner. The worker just follow the instruction and test the camera by machine. I can see a camera can be fast to built when I walking straight. The worker is already very expert to do the process because they are already trained. I think the communication between workers is essential to reduce the conflict. In a company, tolerance is very important to complete a work more efficient. Not just company, a country also very need tolerance.
I can see also there are a lot diagram to tell some information about safety way, introduction to the camera and some perfomance chart. Canon company encourage the worker to be do the work faster. When a worker is do fastest, the chart on the board will show his/her name to praise him/her. This can make the production more better in quality.
After that, we go to visit the lens production section. In this section, we can just see a few things only since we cannot go more far and deep to see the production. In this section, the technology is more based on machanic. However, there are still have many robotic machine to do the process. Then, we have a lunch at the cafeteria in Canon company.
Then, we have a Q&A section for give chance for us to more understanding the process to make camera. After that, we atart to go back to KSJ by bus.
I can a production of a camera need a lot of technology, especially electronic system. This is the most important part in a camera. Japanese engineer have this knowledge and make their technology and science is more higher level. I hope in one day, we Malaysian can also make a camera with out brand that can compete to foreign country.^_^
