Have you ever wondered what the facilities that assemble your smartphone looks like on the inside? Motorola has borrowed some Google tech to show you what the inside of the Moto X production facility in Texas is like.
Google is no stranger to showing off the inside of their datacenters with the Street View tech, making it possible for us to zoom around inside and see what everything looks like. It’s a fun thing to do when you’re curious, and a great demonstration of what their Street View team is capable of. Now that Motorola is a part of Google, it appears as though they have borrowed a Street View team member and wandered him or her around the Moto X facility in Texas.
Motorola’s “Assembled in America” label for the Moto X is the result of their Texas facility, which is responsible for the Moto Maker and carrier versions of the Moto X. From the Street View tour you can see that the massive building is wide open, with stations comprised of massive bin collections with individual parts. Your Moto X is assembled, personalized, and shipped from this facility, where it supposedly arrives in a matter of days. The tour itself only gives you the ability to wander around the upper balcony of the facility, but from there you can zoom in on just about everything and see what is going on.
This is a fun was to see what is going on under the hood of this particular phone, and even though everyone’s faces are blurred out in true Street View fashion you can see plenty of bodies involved in everything from customer support and management to actually building the phones.
