Im not sure how this could be read as good news. No where does it say how long it will take to build the remaining pandoras. We are going to be in the end of october just to have all the parts made according to the table. Then they have to be shipped to china to be assembled (as far as I can tell thats whats happening). Then after assembly, they go back to Craig and ED for distribution. It seems like the earliest the 3895 orders will be filled is the end of november.
They are being assembled in Texas, not China. And how did you get "end of october" from that table? Once the case mould is made hundreds (If not thousands) of cases can be created daily. It won't take hardly any time at all to create the 4000 cases, certainly not 1 whole month. The production run of 3895 boards and the keymats would be manufactured in parallel with that. Final assembly couldn't take very long either, and FCC testing needs only 1 production unit, not all 105.
from what i remember somewhere else the Moulding was included in the Mould creation times. anyway from what i have worked on Plastic Injection Stuff
but anyway Maths always show a rough estimated.
i would say each Cicle could be set on 30 to 45 Sec (45 on a Well Formed Complex Device all in a single shot (all parts moulded at the same time).
plus a 15% fail Rate and calibration Stock (10% on injection fail, 5% on Transporting and assembly fail as an extra threshold if something breaks before mounted).
that would be a total of 207 000 Seconds for the full production
