ElectronicsWeekly.com Video: Picking and placing a Raspberry Pi – Made in the UK ElectronicsWeekly.com making Raspberry Pi at Pencoed I'm really pleased with this one – Electronics Weekly sent the Metropolis “video man”, Dave Berman, to film Raspberry Pi dev boards being made at the Sony manufacturing facility in Pencoed, South Wales.

The ten-year-old in question is Jessica, Gordon’s daughter, who dropped into the office last week to give us a hand testing some Raspberry Pis that customers had sent back to the manufacturers as “faulty”. Whenever this happens, the Pis are passed on to us or to the Sony factory in Wales where the Pis are built, and we test them to find out what’s going on and to ensure that there isn’t a bug in manufacturing. At the moment, we see returns in the order of about 0.02% of all units (the ones Jessica is working on are on the right of her desk)

Sony Factory makes its 500000th Raspberry Pi in Wales – Inquirer
As you’ll know if you’re a regular reader of this website, production of the Raspberry Pi started in China back at the start of 2012, but has been gradually moving to Wales since last September. One of our distributors, Premier Farnell/Element14, already makes 100% of its Pis in the Welsh Sony factory in Pencoed, where Pis are built under licence. The other, RS Components, is in the process of moving the vast bulk of its manufacture to Wales as well (although they will continue to make a much reduced number of Pis in China for the Far East market)

This piece of news footage is all about how the Raspberry Pi you own is made in the UK. It gives you another really close look at some of the processes in the factory – as well as some crystal-clear video of pick and place, you’ll see some of the ladies on the line doing hand placement of through-hole parts, and learn a bit more about plans for increasing production (even with a million sold in our first year, sales show no sign of slowing down).

BBC Radio Wales’ Science Cafe programme this week came from the Sony factory in Pencoed, Wales , that makes the Raspberry Pi for us under licence. It’s only available for UK listeners (my mistake – the BBC’s territorial thingbat doesn’t extend to radio broadcasts, so you can listen anywhere in the world – as long as you aren’t Gert, who is still having problems), and only for the next five days
