In 2018, the export turnover of all industries increased, especially in the textile and garment industry growing at 16% compared to the previous years, maintaining only 8-10%, leather and footwear industry grew by 8.3%. Achieving this result, there are many decisive factors, such as policies to support production development, trade agreements (EV FTA, CPTPP…) were initially effective, especially enterprises that have boldly applied new technologies. Using technology from basic to modern synchronously. These applications have brought about remarkable results, for example at the Vietnam Textile and Garment Group, from 100 workers down to 20 workers at each factory over 2 thousand spindles, down from 11 times to 5 times in one fabric at home dyeing factory.
The smart manufacturing was applied helps businesses optimize labor productivity, improve the working efficiency of machinery and equipment systems, minimize downtime for incidents, optimize time for manufacturing activities. The solution also monitoring to improve the efficiency of quality, thereby improving the overall efficiency for the use of machinery and equipment.
The “smart manufacturing” solution includes sensors system mounted at key locations, monitoring operations (andon), connecting and collecting data, signals and for analysis and evaluation effective. At the same time, the implementation of the production management software system such as ERP and MES will help enterprises have a comprehensive system, automatic connection, analysis to support decision making, improve manufacturing efficiency, adapt to strong changes in market requirements. This is also one of the requirements of distribution systems, large customers in the global supply chain. Once the businesses adapt and connect to the system, it will increase the supply capacity, meet the output quantity, schedule and quality, help increase orders and increase production.
In 2019, the smart production application will take place strongly, manufacturing enterprises in all areas will need to adapt to catch up and develop sustainably in the current technological age. This is a challenge, but it brings a great opportunities to develop strongly for manufacturing enterprises, spearheading the textile and garment, leather and footwear, electronics, precision engineering or automotive parts …
