I'm totally lost it.... (34 years ago)
Marco, can I boil up your emotions? Your calculation is wrong, the value is too high. If it takes more than two weeks to manufacture the Geek batch (430pcs), given that they work only in one shift would be:
430pcs/10working days/8 hours=5.37
Just for you with love.
Holy crap on a cracker....
Well Emile don`t have those `far eastern young in age labour force` delivered in those brown semi hard small in size shipping containers. So bad that comment has been removed.
Oh it is better to leave these to Marco, he is very entertaining.
No, i just thought the company that builds Homey might have more customers, which might also want to use the production line.
I was just messing.
Yes,
probably you are right they could not provide enough resources. And from the
explanation Jeroen gave it sounds like the individual phases are
not yet happening parallel. According to the pictures they have the PCBs,
casings, NFC units so it only the assembling-flashing-packaging.
I can expect homey's need to be produces/manufactured.
Would be great if the could assemble themselves
1 homey made by hand,
That one homey makes another homey,
Those two homey's makes two other homey's,
Those four homey's makes four other homey's,
etc.
So last week it were software bugs that stopped production and now its the production line that's producing 6-7 Homey's an hour.
I could expect Athom made production agreements on how many hours the produce a day/week.
80 hour's production a week will result in 2 employees work 100% or 3 employees for 70% on the Homey production line.
Fact; production is at a low rate of 6-7 homey/hour
1000 / 40 / 6 = 4.2 weeks to produce the 1000 Kickstarter homeys
1 week past, so 3 week to go for the (super)early badge, so end of February. End that's almost 2 year since I made my pledge
Thanx for laughing
"Speculations, damned speculations and statistics"
Seriously why don't we get clear communication? This thread is getting so off railed because there is no clear communication!
Edit: Oops, forgot the obligatory
I think speculation is perfectly understandable. For years you had to believe in a predicted delivery time what always has failed. Now have the ability to calculate to get a more realistic estimate than ever before. I reserve my delivery speculation till the whole 430pcs Geek batch will be dispatched. Than we will know the true production speed.
I have backed NEEO on Kickstarter, and they made a shipping estimation date of May 2015. Until now they haven't provided a new shipping estimation other than soon™.
Within a few weekt most of you Will receive a homey, thats what i call soon.
So your standards about communication are clearly lower than others. There are forum members that share your standards and others that don't. If I was running a business I would make sure everybody feels satisfied, not just some.
Also, we all seem very happy now about that fact that they are producing at a given rate. However, @Emile said 250 units a week. I do remember the estimates used to be 500 a week... (around Xmas). But there was a bug, and now this is solved... but still half the production rate.
Communication does exist and I do believe the guys at Athom are doing their best and I sincerely hope they succeed! But communication could be much, much better and clearer.
We're going to retail when Homey is ready for retail.
