Invest in modern machinery
Use cases of AI in manufacturing include smart, self-optimizing machines to automate manufacturing processes.
Mr. Tran Van Nam (36 years old) - a fabric cutter at the factory - shared that in the past, it took 4 to 5 people to do it manually, but now only 1 person operating the machine is needed to cut the fabric effectively. To achieve this achievement, Mr. Nam said that the company has invested heavily in modern machinery that meets international standards. Among them, there is an automatic fabric cutting machine worth billions of dong.
According to Mr. Nam, the company's fabric cutting machine is extremely advanced and intelligent, able to recognize and accurately cut curves, inside corners, outside corners, and even close fabric lines. The cutting speed is relatively fast, operates continuously without needing a break, is safe for workers, and has the same productivity as nearly ten people combined.
Ms. Pham Thi Diem (32 years old) - a sewing worker working at the factory - shared that the company has also invested in the latest generation of electronic sewing machines so that workers can work more efficiently. "Since replacing the electronic sewing machine, more products have been produced, less dust without having to spend time cutting off excess thread like before. The machine is also very easy to use, simple operation with buttons, less problems than traditional sewing machines" - Ms. Diem said.
Pro Sports Factory also established a separate department specializing in innovation and improvement of more modern equipment to serve production. The company also has attractive rewards to encourage and honor officers and employees who come up with practical improvement ideas to increase labor productivity.
AI used to manage labor
Some of the major applications of AI in the manufacturing sector are labor management. Accordingly, AI can be used to manage employees.
Along with focusing on investing in modern machinery and equipment to serve production, T&C Garment Company Limited (Nam Dinh) also applies AI to ensure safety and convenience for workers. “Ms. Ngo Thi Tuyet (33 years old) - a garment worker at the company - said that when working at T&C Garment Company Limited, what impressed her was the face scanner for attendance and the smart dust ventilation fan system.
“The company has replaced the old fingerprint machine with a face scanner to help workers check in quickly and conveniently without having to wait long like before,” said Ms. Tuyet.
According to the female worker, the ventilation and dust extraction system at the company works quite effectively. Since installing this system, the dust in the workshop has been much less visible to the naked eye, making her and the workers feel more secure in production.
In Thai Binh, Tan De Company is one of the pioneers in applying 4.0 technology and AI to develop production as well as create convenience for employees at work.
The company has released a separate mobile app called Tan De for employees in the company to download and use.Accordingly, this application brings many practical benefits to officers and employees working at the company.
Ms. Nguyen My Hanh - a worker at Tan De company - said: "Tan De application helps us easily look up annual leave days, salary payment slips as well as give feedback to leaders and update company notifications effectively so we can work with peace of mind."
