Enterprises apply 4.0 technology to improve competitiveness

Companies are increasingly implementing 4.0 technology in their production activities to boost efficiency and competitiveness. The adoption of digital technologies and automation enables businesses to optimize production processes, cut costs, enhance product quality, and improve their competitive edge.

Optimize production process

To transform its sustainable development model, Binh Duong is actively implementing a strategy to develop green industrial parks (IPs) and new-generation industries. This initiative aims to create a strong foundation to attract quality investors in high technology, the digital economy, and artificial intelligence. Additionally, Binh Duong is promoting digital transformation across economic sectors, particularly in e-commerce, to enhance connections with the global supply chain. The region is also focusing on deploying science and technology industrial parks and advancing a circular economy.

Mr. Nguyen Thanh Lam, CEO of Lam Viet Joint Stock Company, stated that as a company with years of experience in challenging markets worldwide, they continuously adapt to increasingly stringent requirements from partners. This has led them to invest in initiatives related to green transformation, digital transformation, circular transformation, and carbon transformation.

Mr. Lam emphasized that for businesses to undergo digital transformation and apply modern technology effectively, they must first standardize their production sites and management systems. It is essential to rearrange and optimize processes to ensure continuous operation and to obtain accurate, clean data. Once production activities are reorganized and production flows standardized, the next step is to digitize the collected data and seamlessly integrate technology with production management.

“At Lam Viet Company, we have implemented an ERP (enterprise resource planning) system across each production stage. This allows us to publicly disclose the origin of our products and provide accurate traceability of product information and the legal sources of our wood at every stage of production and consumption. Additionally, we have developed greenhouse gas inventory reports using specialized software. Our company also utilizes software to manage, maintain, and repair machinery and equipment, as well as automated salary advance software for employees. In the 2025-2030 period, we will establish an action plan to reduce emissions by 10% per year compared to 2024, leveraging technology platforms to achieve this goal,” said Mr. Nguyen Thanh Lam.

According to Ms. Le Thi Xuyen, General Director of Thuan An Wood Processing Joint Stock Company, sustainability and green transformation in wood products are no longer voluntary as before but have become mandatory conditions today. The United States and the European Union, which are demanding but stable markets and traditional markets for many wood enterprises in recent years, have increasingly tightened regulations on sustainable factors associated with environmental protection. In response to these requirements, the company continues to maintain the implementation of the ISO 9001-2015 quality management system and the FSC-CoC product chain of custody management system; well controlling product quality, meeting customer needs.

Replicate effective models

Becamex IDC Corporation is currently focused on supporting the development of traditional production methods by integrating 4.0 technology. This aims to optimize production processes and minimize environmental impact. Additionally, the company is strengthening international cooperation and transitioning from traditional to modern production techniques while developing effective production models.

Mr. Pham Ngoc Thuan, General Director of Becamex IDC Corporation, said the world is witnessing a strong transformation in the industry, where green, smart and sustainable factors are becoming mandatory standards. To keep up with that trend, Becamex IDC has invested in building laboratories, production centers, research institutes, business incubators, along with training programs and support for 4.0 technology transformation. These efforts contribute to forming a team of highly skilled engineers, technology entrepreneurs and helping Binh Duong transform towards higher added value. This new ecosystem not only attracts new generation investors but also retains existing investors by meeting advanced requirements. Namely, the Lego Vietnam Factory project of Lego Group (Denmark), with an investment capital of more than 1.3 billion USD, is the first carbon-neutral factory of this group. Or like the Orion smart factory project in Korea, implemented by Becamex IDC Corporation with autonomous solutions.

“Becamex IDC takes advantage of digital transformation to establish sustainable technology and energy companies, building business models in digital and green spaces. Becamex IDC also cooperated with Singaporean partners to form a Smart Energy Company, cooperated with Japanese partners to establish an information technology company, telecommunications business, data centers, industry 4.0 solutions, smart cities and software development...," Mr. Pham Ngoc Thuan shared.
