Production automation to increase productivity and product quality is the current trend and many businesses in the province are implementing. According to businesses, before the actual lack of labor today and the rigorous demands on models, techniques and product quality of customers, the promotion of automation to ensure innovation requirements, modern, create a professional working environment and meet production needs.
Money technologies
Having the opportunity to visit enterprises producing products according to modern technology, it can be clearly seen their success associated with production automation. In all fields of garment manufacturing, manufacturing of electronic products, mechanical products, enterprises import various types of modern machines into production. In particular, these machines can replace a person or a person who can control 5 operating machines and monitor the operation process through a computer without spending as much time as before. Specifically, automatic machines are being applied effectively in production such as: automatic robot drilling machines that can replace workers completely; Overlock machine can make hundreds of products in one day and only need one operator or automatic fabric cutting machine, programming sewing machine..
Sewing machine programmed at Dong Nai Garment Corporation.
For more than 2 years, Dong Nai Garment Corporation has invested in programming sewing machines to sew products. With this programmable sewing machine, one worker can control two machines at the same time through the computer with the preset mode, the machine can sew 10 products / press and be installed continuously without losing more time and labor costs like manual sewing. Currently, the company invests more than 100 sewing machines and continues to receive wide acceptance at factories. This is also the first enterprise in the province to import this type of machine to automate production. The outstanding feature of this machine increases 4 times the productivity of workers working with old machines, the product makes beautiful and stable on seam. From the efficiency of the above machine, the company continued to invest 11 billion dong to buy automatic fabric cutting machine and fabric running machine. Accordingly, when investing in cloth cutting machines, one machine can supply materials for 300 sewing workers / day. Besides, the fabric running machine also brings high efficiency, which helps reduce labor and save costs for businesses.
Mr. Vu Le Minh, a worker who directly controlled programming sewing machine, said that as a worker, who was handed the automatic sewing machine, he was a bit worried but after learning a week of machine control, he was fluent in sports. Working and feeling the machine works well, helping the workers to work more quietly while ensuring the quantity of products delivered. In particular, with the modernity of this machine, he can sew hundreds of products / day. This is something that in the past, even skilled workers were difficult to achieve.
Similarly, Bosch Vietnam Co., Ltd. (in Long Thanh Industrial Park), the company has also invested billions in automating the production of transmission belt products used in automatic transmissions for continuous conversion of cars. . In 2008, Bosch started manufacturing CVT belts in Dong Nai and in the first year of production, the factory produced 1.6 million products. As of March 2016, Bosch factory in Dong Nai has produced more than 25 million belt products. Belt products are currently produced at three Bosch factories worldwide, including the Netherlands, Vietnam and Mexico.
The factory in Vietnam is Bosch's largest belt production factory worldwide. These are modern products, manufactured according to customers' orders, so enterprises attach importance to promoting investment in machines for brand development. Automated and self-contained automatic assembly lines fully ensure workers work in a clean, safe and professional environment. In particular, workers only need to control the machine via the computer screen automatically, not to work as hard hands and feet as before.
Sharing the reasons for investing in automation, Mr. Tran Minh Loc, senior engineer and Vice Chairman of the Trade Union said that for many years, finding labor is a difficult problem for businesses. Therefore, to solve labor problems and increase productivity and product quality, the company has invested in modern machinery and equipment, aiming to automate 70% of the production process. All types of automatic machines are modern and professional to help businesses meet the requirements and ensure the technical parameters and product quality. The use of modern machines in operation of production lines saves costs as well as human and product labor doubled compared to before.
Increase productivity and product quality
By investment in automation processes, many businesses have met production requirements and signed orders. Along with that, the product makes beautiful, quality and the right model. According to businesses, automation has changed the nature of labor, improved working conditions of workers, especially in the stages of toxic, heavy, repetitive and boring, overcoming the The difference between intellectual and manual labor. On the other hand, automating the production process allows meeting the intensity of modern production labor. For products with large quantities such as nails, electric light bulbs, zippers, garments, etc., it is impossible to continue the manual production processes to meet the large output with the lowest price requirements. This is the reality that stimulates the development of automation. Successful with the investment in production automation, many businesses affirmed that they will continue to apply new scientific and technical advances to production, in order to increase productivity, product quality and improve competitiveness. for similar products on the market.
Automation line at Bosch Vietnam Co., Ltd.
At Chien Vietnam Furniture Co., Ltd., an enterprise specializing in timber export also invested 7 billion dong to buy wood sawing machines to serve in production lines. Workers only need to manipulate wood into the machine; the wood will be cut in straight lines without marking. This machine just reduces labor, saves costs and cuts beautiful products and the right size of customer designs. This type of machine is widely applied in factories that bring high economic efficiency; both reduce dust and risks for workers compared to sawing wood manually as before. In addition to automation by investment in machinery, enterprises encourage workers to improve old and new machinery such as drilling machines, a control worker can drill 4 holes, faster than conventional drilling.
Chairman of the Communist Party of Dong Nai Garment Joint Stock Company Pham Xuan Tam said that automating production lines with modern machines helps enterprises produce products more professionally and quickly, along with supplementing A large number of employees, especially skilled workers, are lacking in current businesses. On the other hand, when putting modern machines into production, it takes only 1 week to train the operators on the machine; it does not take much time compared to the training of sewing workers as before, normally about 3 Training month / person. Importantly, these machines reduce many operations and stages, helping workers to work faster and more professionally. "Automating production processes to perform specialization and production swap. Research, improvement and investment in machinery will have higher quality, faster progress. Automation of production processes allows competition to be implemented and meets production requirements at enterprises,”Mr. Tam stressed.
