One of my main objectives on this trip to China was to learn more about injection molding of plastic parts which are used extensively in iRobot products. Today we toured a subsidiary of Jabil which is focused largely on molding and painting of plastic components. Before entering the production area for vacuum deposition we were required to change into the outfits pictured here to minimize the introduction of contaminants. Photography within the plant is forbidden but our host graciously offered to take this picture for us.

After our meeting, we returned to Hong Kong where I used the final hour of daylight to grab a few pictures. Because of the “haze” (read pollution) it is impossible to take good photographs of objects at a distance. Because of this, I decided to use an object in the foreground to anchor a photograph that still included the cityscape I was interested in capturing as a background element.
