As an Automotive Engineer of over 25 years with the big 3, including Honda and Toyota. I must say this is an impressive facility, very clean (5S practices), high tech equipment and lots of pride in the people. This is typical of almost all Korean factories I visited. This is now the case in China as well. I have seen more and more poorly run factories in the US (entirely union run cultures) and more better ones in Asia now.
I love some of the technical choices in this production line. Like how they used an ordinary office stamp for marking the production date on the metal.
It looks like an ordinary office stamp because it shares the same basic design. But a normal office stamp wouldn’t last a day doing that kind of volume. That will be a purpose built stamp for manufacturing.
So well filmed; every detail was clearly seen and understood. I loved your soft, unobtrusive background music once again - you are getting better at selecting music that lets us hear work sounds without distraction. Well done!
11:31 - Factories like this is where the counterfeit OEM oil filters come from. In this case, the filter/boxes are marked with their own brand, but you can see how easy it is to mark them with any lettering/graphics they desire.
The oil filter in this video is a BS-26300-35505, which is a Hyundai part number. Not sure if Big Star is OEM or aftermarket. The OEM filter sold at the Hyundai dealer in the US is identical but its made by Mann Hummel Korea. Does anyone know if Big Star is OEM?
Didn't show how the threads in the ends are formed... Purchased part? Interested as I once had a filter that had the thread so out of square it leaked profusely. Not this brand.
It really tells you a lot about the machines based off the individual employees methods and behaviors.. like the one dude who had like 10 rubber seals in his hand... why not 2 or 3? Obviously because the machine misses so often that he knows he will need that much... Crazy.... ..Also, at the end, pretty funny the box says, in English, "orange filter" as a bunch of blue cased filters are rolling off the line...
It’s an inconsistency in this video to show a spin-on filter being manufactured (a very well done video of the process), but then at the end to show a completely different, canister style, filter being installed on a vehicle by a mechanic.
@@beefchicken it's easy to tell that it a counterfeit product just look the box and there is not even an ounce of quality control in process. Even in 1080p u can see some imperfections in the stamping which says about the quality of the product.
@@muktadirbhuyan7281This is an aftermarket generic brand, not a counterfeit. It is listed on the website. And the internal manufacturing process is cleaner than other filter videos. It seems to be a company with excellent cleanliness and quality control.
@@mslim4129 Let me point out a few. Pause at 2:21 see that the valve cap on the left is more dented at bottom then others. At 3:01 the lower cap has cracks and imperfections. At 3:33 there is gaps in the wield points and shapes are inconsistent. At 7:16 there is tear in the filter There are some other problems also like the girl cut the filter without any measurements, there is not visual or xray inspection etc. U might think I am being a bit extreme but remember small imperfections can lead to failure due to fatigue and also as oil filter expand and contract due to heat this can lead widening of cracks. The reason I am being nit picky is because I work at a Japanese auto components and electronic manufacturers and all the products are made with micron level precision and are inspected at each step even a small stretch or imperfections are rejected immediately. So seeing zero quality control made me really surprised.
