In associated news, Sony just recently revealed 9 PS4 and PS5 games as part of a brand-new indie initiative. According to the vice president of engineering at Epic Games, the PS5 is a “work of art of systems style.” Obviously, the PS5 UI will even be able to help gamers who are stuck by showing them gameplay from other individuals who handled to get past the part theyre currently playing through.
In a practically fully-automated factory across the bay from Tokyo, robotics can construct a functional PS4 in roughly 30 seconds.
” On the outskirts of Kisarazu, a big, white structure towers over an otherwise suburban landscape,” reads a report from Nikkei Asian Review. “Once inside, visitors are greeted by the whirring of motors as dozens of robotics perfectly churn out PlayStation 4 consoles.”
Only four employees are present in the factory– two feed motherboards to the assembly line, while another two manage product packaging. Basically whatever else is fully-automated.
According to the report, it takes Sony robots about 30 seconds to develop a functional PS4. Employees bookend the process on either side– 2 prompt the consoles building and construction, whereas another two cover it up and make it look expensive after the reality.
” One of the plants crowning achievements is using robots to attach wires, tape and other flexible parts to the consoles,” checks out the report. “Twenty-six out of 32 robotics at the Kisarazu plant are devoted to the task, deftly managing products most robots would discover too picky.”
Its unclear at present whether this method of manufacture will translate to PS5, but the proficiency of the robotics as evidenced by the above quote indicates that it might be most likely. Regardless, Sony has actually revealed that it is “still investing strongly” in PS4, so the robots will not run out the task yet.
