A visit to Albéa参访阿蓓亚包装（苏州）有限公司
杨润泽
We visited Albéa factory which is located in Suzhou SIP on March the 4th. It is worthy of the name and it was my honor to enter the factory in person. It is a French company which offers the world’s largest range of cosmetics, personal care and pharmaceuticals packaging which involves plastic & laminate tubes, mascaras, lipsticks, samplers and foam pumps, and recognized expertise in fragrance & skincare dispensing pumps, fragrance & lotion caps, compacts, lip-gloss, promotional items and accessories. It counts 38 manufacturing sites in Europe, Americas and Asia, 1 global headquarters in Paris and 2 other main sales offices in New York City and Shanghai.
3月4日， 我们工科班师生一同参观了位于苏州工业园区的阿蓓亚包装（苏州）有限公司。阿蓓亚是一个很有实力的品牌，能参观它的工厂是我的荣幸。它 是世界上最大之一的提供美妆、个人护理以及药物包装的法国公司， 包括塑胶软管， 薄片软管，睫毛膏，唇膏，取样器，泡沫型喷头，香水、护肤品喷头以及附带产品。在欧美亚共有38家工厂，总部设在法国， 两个主要销售部分别在上海和纽约。
The first department we visited is manufacturing workshop. Here we visited one artificial work line where workers are assigned to different work process, such as making the knurling and checking if there are bubbles in the bottles’ wall, to complete the assembling. Whereas, the automatic work line we visited is different. All the manufacturing is done by machines. The only problem is that the machines produce a big noise. As a student in the engineering class, the main target was to understand how these machines work and find out what career was the most suitable. What’s more, I foresaw that machinery would supersede manual labor gradually after seeing these numerically controlled machines.
我们参观的第一个部门是生产车间，在这里我们参观了一条人工流水线，工人们分工完成组装的不同工序，例如给瓶身烫上花纹，检测瓶壁是否含有气泡等。接下来参观的全自动的生产线与人工流水线不太一样，所有的生产均由机器完成，唯一的问题是机器发出的噪音较大。作为工科学生，我们主要的目的就是理解这些数控机器是怎样运作的以及思考合适自己的工作领域。另外， 看到周围的众多数控机器，我预想机器生产将逐渐取代人力。
The next department we visited was the product testing room. Selective products have to pass the test in different conditions, such as shock heating and cooling, vacuum and pressure. The thickness of the wall of bottles is also measured to be accurate in 3 decimal places in millimeter to make sure it’s qualified. Even a little pump we use in cosmetic products includes dozens of components. And whether the cosmetic liquid will have chemical reaction with the outer packaging has to be considered .I realized that the application of knowledge is everywhere in our life.
随后，我们参观了产品的检测室。抽样的产品必须通过不同条件的测试，例如骤冷骤热的温度差测试，真空测试，强压测试等。测量瓶壁厚度时会精确到毫米单位的小数点后三位来确保产品质量过关。即使是我们所使用的化妆品包装的一个小小的喷头， 也包含几十个零件， 还要考虑产品材质和化妆品液体是否会发生化学反应。我意识到，在我们的生活中，知识的运用无处不在。
At last, I would like to thank Albéa and the accompanied teachers again for providing us the academic guidance and tour. I learned a lot and accumulated a lot of experience during this trip.
最后我十分感谢Albéa 以及陪同我们的老师和阿蓓亚员工们，给我们提供了一次学术性的参观和指导，这次参观我学到了不少也积累了经验。
