Today I went to the Heavy Electric Plant of Tatung Company. They make transformers and power meters. The transformers range in size and the big ones are larger then a combine. The meters were like the old meters that are getting phased out in the U.S. They too are getting rid of these and switching to the smart meters. Someday they will take me to the plant that makes the new ones.
We started the day with a bus ride to the company. It took and hour to get there. We then learned about what they do there and many details about the transformers. They provided lunch for us and after that we went on some tours.
After we got back to Taipei, I went and talked to the VP of a branch of Tatung (TOES). He is the one who is hiring me for my internship. I now know what I will be doing. I will be working for T.O.E.S. This is a production company for Tatung products. There are many different types of products made by Tatung. I am sure I will know more later. I will be learning how the machines work then doing some design work on the robots. I will put my 3D models in an automation software and simulate the movement of the parts. They will then use my automations. I feel this will be very beneficial for me. He seemed to think this will be a great fit as well. I will still continue to take tours of other companies. He stressed the importance of seeing other companies getting to add to my knowledge and experience through this opportunity. People want to hire mechanical engineers who have seen the machines that they will be designing.
Tomorrow I will go to another company and Wednesday I start with TOES. Wish me luck.
