HONOR UNVEILS BEHIND-THE-SCENES TECHNOLOGY FOR NEW HONOR MAGIC4 PRO PRODUCTION LINE
PR96215
SHENZHEN, China, May 26, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --
- Unique synergy between R&D and manufacturing capabilities
Global technology brand HONOR today revealed the proprietary technology behind
the manufacturing of HONOR Magic4 Pro, the brand's latest flagship smartphone
made exclusively in HONOR Intelligent Manufacturing Industrial Park.
Demonstrating manufacturing excellence, the flagship smartphone exemplifies the
brand's commitment to delivering cutting-edge innovation and is a testament to
HONOR's capability to manufacture high-quality premium products at scale. The
HONOR Magic4 Pro is set to arrive in select international markets starting this
month.
"The opening of the HONOR Intelligent Manufacturing Industrial Park last year
was a significant milestone of our success in integrating our R&D capabilities
into our manufacturing processes. The consolidation allows us to better harness
our expertise across both fields," said George Zhao, CEO of HONOR Device Co,
Ltd. "In addition to bolstering our manufacturing capacities, the smart
manufacturing facility houses world-class production, testing and quality
control equipment that ensures our premium products live up to our customers'
high expectations."
Seamless Integration between R&D and Manufacturing
Operational since September 2021, the HONOR Intelligent Manufacturing
Industrial Park is the brand's first self-funded factory. Equipped with
cutting-edge manufacturing and testing facilities to support every aspect of
smartphone manufacturing, the Park is integral to assuring the quality of the
brand's premium offerings. With 20 percent of the staff working in the Park
being R&D personnel, HONOR weaves its R&D resources into the Park's core
capabilities, maximizing the synergy between the two and enabling manufacturing
technology to keep pace with innovation.
Custom Production Line for HONOR Magic4 Pro Innovations
Arriving to select international markets beginning this month, HONOR Magic4 Pro
debuts with AI Privacy Call, a pain point killer feature that massively
minimizes sound leakage during voice calls; Ultra-Fusion Computational
Photography, a camera solution that enables users to take full advantage of the
smartphone's multiple rear cameras; and the Quad-Curved LTPO Display, a
stunning display that provides immersive viewing experiences. Each of these
features poses a set of unique manufacturing challenges, the solutions to which
are only made possible by HONOR's R&D and manufacturing synergy.
With each generation of smartphones, smartphone makers have been continuously
shifting the receiver towards the top bezel in attempt to achieve an increased
display area. However, the closer the receiver is placed near the edge, the
more pronounced the sound leakage during voice calls, leading to privacy
concerns.
To address this user pain point, HONOR identified and solved over 100
technological challenges and created AI Privacy Call. This innovative feature
leverages the industry-first Intelligent Dual Sound-Emitting Unit, which
includes a bone conduction component using piezoelectric ceramics that is
mounted directly to the display. Due to the nature of glass, the assembly
process requires extreme precision – even minor manufacturing deviations will
permanently damage the panel. Working hand in hand, the R&D and manufacturing
teams were able to overcome the challenge in three months' time. The concerted
efforts resulted in the creation of the automated high-precision mounting
equipment, which leverages computer vision and optimized algorithms to achieve
an accuracy of 0.01mm and a yield of 99.99 percent, contributing to HONOR's
ability to meet consumer demands for the HONOR Magic4 Pro.
The HONOR Magic4 Pro is also equipped with a powerful Triple Camera combination
supporting Ultra-Fusion Computational Photography. The complexity of the
solution in the new flagship smartphone necessitated double the camera
calibration equipment compared to what was required for its predecessor.
Benefitting from improved calibration and testing procedures, the Triple Camera
system, combined with AI algorithms, delivers more detailed images with more
authentic colors across the full supported focal range.
Advanced assembly processes are also adopted for the Quad-Curved LTPO Display
on HONOR Magic4 Pro. Leveraging a cutting-edge setup of six-axis robotic arms,
high-precision cameras and HONOR-developed computer vision algorithms, the
mounting equipment operates with an accuracy range of ±0.075mm and outputs
products with a low manufacturing tolerance of just 0.1mm, further
demonstrating HONOR's superior manufacturing capabilities.
The Park is also equipped with industry-leading laboratories, including a
reliability laboratory, regulatory laboratory and environmental protection
laboratory, with which HONOR conducts over 200 reliability tests on the HONOR
Magic4 Pro to ensure its premium quality. For instance, the HONOR Magic4 Pro is
tested to have a Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) value – which measures
smartphone radiation emission – that is 56 percent below the limit of the most
stringent industry standard.
Three Pillars of Manufacturing Excellence
Automation, digitalization and intelligent technology serve as the cornerstones
underpinning the Park's core manufacturing capabilities. The Park operates with
75 percent of its production line automated, minimizing the risk of human
error. Additionally, more than 40 percent of the automated production equipment
is developed in-house, which serves as further evidence of the tight
integration between R&D and manufacturing capabilities at the Park.
All key equipment in the production facility supports digital control systems,
allowing HONOR to better manage the entire production line and reap better
efficiency as well as improve product quality.
Manufactured exclusively in the Park, the HONOR Magic4 Pro represents the best
of HONOR's manufacturing capabilities, which international consumers will soon
be able to experience firsthand when the flagship smartphone arrives in select
markets starting this month.
