If there was any doubt about it, these latest photos straight from the Jarl-Tech leased manufacturing plant of Qisdi is ready to start churning out Smartmatic-TIM’s PCOS machines at a blistering pace in the dead of winter.
This is the SMARTMATIC assembly line in Qisdi, Shanghai. See the sign in the picture above? See the Chinese characters?
See this Chinese woman here? Of course you do. She’s just one of the many thousands of workers who will assemble the machines that will be used for the Philippine elections in 2010. After working hours, this worker blogs about how automation will change the face of Philippine politics.
The picture above is of the motors that will be used together with a optical scanning device. Nope, it ain’t like the motors you used to put in your Tamiyas.
Above are the friendly LCD screens. You can’t watch movies on them, but they’ll display feedback from the PCOS machine.
I don’t know what the heck this picture is, but it looks very important.
Above is a fully assembled PCOS machine being subjected to vibration testing. Off to the side of the machine is a stern warning from the management of the Qisdia manufacturing plant, it says “Do not sit on this machine. The photocopiers are in the next room.”
This pretty lady above is actually a Taiwanese melodrama star whose name I can’t pronounce. She is standing right next to a whole set of boxes full of PCOS parts that will be assembled by the nimble hands of thousands of Chinese workers.
Above is a map of something important. Hmmm…
Above is the Qisdi Technical College, which is a reputable institution that teaches all things technical.
Let me remind you, this company is Qisda instead of Qisdi or Qisdia……
flashes of camera during machine scanned balots will not be affect?
