How one Chinese shirt-maker uses automation to safeguard its future

As China's labour force shrinks, it's getting harder to find younger workers willing to do back-breaking tasks. Manufacturers like Esquel in Guangdong are using robots and automation to reduce the demand on workers and improve efficiency in the face of higher labour costs and increased tariffs. CNA's Wei Du has the report.

good presentation. man , those people are evolving. they are setting the pace now , not us

[@teweldemat]

Don't worry about workers being replaced by machines. As the labor cost decrease the profit increases and that attracts more investors. More investors means more production which forces price down. Availability of basic good like clothes at cheap price will alivate poverty.

....or they keep the price the same and make more profit

[@cosmoray9750]

True. Unfortunately to compete in today's economy companies do need to automate.

Raising worker salary through automation is the right socialist approach. Very commendable.

[@edenassos]

Nah, nothing socialist about this. When machines and robots get smarter and smarter, humans will be phased out. Well, they'll keep a small team of 5 to make sure the machines stay working. No more whiners. Good.

Shirts are nice and beautiful.
If China can make them cheaper, then some people will be happy to buy them.
Looks like *the robot operator* will be a solid job in the future.

Automation without ethics is likely to be horrible for many people.
