Andon solution help improve production capacity in Leather and Footwear industry

Leather and Footwear industry is one of the key export sectors of Vietnam, ranking 4th in export turnover in many years. In the trend of integration and increasingly competitive market, the application of automation in the Leather and Footwear industry in Vietnam is one of the four major challenges in the development process.

According to figures from Lefaso (Vietnam Leather, Footwear and Handbag Association), in 2017, the total export turnover of the whole industry reached 17.93 billion USD, up 10.7% compared to 2016. Expected in 2018 , export turnover continues to increase impressively with forecasts of up to more than 20 billion USD.

In the process of international integration, the Leather, Footwear and Handbag industry still face four major and existing challenges, including the increasing cost of labor, the trend of applying automation in production. , protectionist policies are tending to turn around and the competition is fiercer than the market.

The application of automation in production is still a big challenge, especially for small and medium enterprises. However, the application of automation technology in production will increase labor productivity, help stabilize and integrate labor, improve productivity and quality. Automation applications will be divided into many levels, in which the basic level is the application of andon solution, which helps enterprises to continuously control the production status of the plant, ensure production and quality, reduce waste. By optimizing the capacity of machinery and labor.

We have consulted and successfully deployed the andon solution at the shoes factories in Vietnam such as Can Sport Vietnam (Tay Ninh Province), Chang Shin (Dong Nai Province), Ching Luh, Fuh Luh (Long An Province)…

The solution allows continuous monitoring of the production process, control of operation smoothly from the stage of tightening, sewing to the stage, recognizing problems, stop or quality problems in each stage, timely Have a plan to handle, ensure the production plan. In addition, with the characteristics of footwear are mostly closed products, not bright, so we use the automatic sensor count the finished products, which helps keep track of the output is constantly updated. , ensure the completion of orders.

With the ability of designing, manufacturing and deploying Andon and product counting solutions , with our experience in the Leather and Footwear industry, we ensure to provide customers optimal solutions, improve productivity, productivity. Improve flexibility and coordination, improve leanness in production for leather and footwear factories across the country.
