A day after a couple of invitation-only events to commemorate the start of Foxconn construction in Mt. Pleasant, the company is swinging open its doors at its temporary plant near I-94 and Highway 20.
A two-day open house--Friday and Saturday--is designed to provide residents from Racine County and the surrounding area an opportunity to see first-hand the advanced technologies that will be developed at its new facility, according to a news release.
“This two-day open house will give the public a chance to view and learn more about the latest technologies and applications that we will be developing at our Mount Pleasant campus,” said Louis Woo, Special Assistant to Foxconn Founder and CEO Terry Gou. “Part of being a good corporate citizen is engaging with the community, and we look forward to welcoming them to our facility, and meeting and talking with residents in and around the area.”
The release says that Foxconn will be showcasing cutting-edge applications of the advanced display technology that it will be developing at the Wisconsin campus. These include applications in a wide range of devices and solutions, from the latest generation of displays in self-driving cars and aircraft systems to learning systems, personalized entertainment, healthcare and medical solutions, advanced manufacturing systems, and applications in interactive retail and safety.
In addition, an experimental production line for the training and development of employees will also be on display, as well as beta testing of assembly and manufacturing systems that will be used in future Foxconn operations. The demonstrations and exhibits were the same ones that were on display for President Trump.
The open house will take place on Friday, June 29, from 10 a.m. till 7 p.m.; and Saturday, June 30, from 10 a.m. till 4 p.m. at 13315 Globe Drive in Mount Pleasant.
