The changing landscape is forcing businesses to think about their production processes and methods. Manufacturers are also aware that, even if the pandemic is brought under control, it will leave huge changes and gaps that are difficult to fill immediately, that is, a labor shortage.

In the second quarter of 2021, the whole country had 12.8 million people aged 15 and over negatively affected by the COVID-19 epidemic. According to quick statistics of the Department of Labor - Invalids and Social Affairs, the demand for laborers who want to return to their hometown is increasing and recently a large number of workers from big cities and large industrial zones have been separated, The long-term blockade has massively moved back home without any intention of returning in a short time, showing the existential risk of "labour shortage" in large numbers during and after the epidemic, especially labor. common in industrial production. Businesses fall into a shortage of human resources, unable to recruit enough employees according to demand.

So how to solve this shortage of personnel? Is this also an opportunity to change manufacturing?

Promoting factory automation is the key to helping businesses quickly overcome challenges, seize market opportunities and best solve the labor shortage problem caused by the pandemic. Factory automation is also an inevitable trend of the developed economy, especially in the current period of the industrial revolution 4.0 that is taking place strongly around the world, with undeniable benefits. what it gives us.
What every factory is interested in is when implementing a factory automation solution, what are the benefits and network efficiency? With many years of implementing factory automation solutions, Intech Group shares typical benefits as follows:

There are factories, there are businesses that change skins, change meat, and experience breakthrough growth while accelerating the automation process.

In the trend of the industrial revolution 4.0, technology and automation are gradually changing the way of operation and management, creating breakthrough changes of businesses and the whole economy. IOT and AI technologies help connect the automation system in the factory, monitor production, and monitor the operating status of the machine system and line. Helps create a faster, more flexible and more efficient manufacturing process.

Production automation helps to improve the working environment in terms of less risk, more safety and at the same time increases productivity and quality. Once you have selected the best automation system for your manufacturing application, the final step in the analysis is to weigh its benefits against other alternatives and demonstrate a return on investment (ROI). ) its.

Importantly, customers tend to view more favorably, as manufacturers embrace technology to improve quality and reduce costs. This is especially true when the product is complex or of high value. Using intelligent machinery combined with a high degree of automation can demonstrate to customers that you are committed to producing good products at low costs.

Automation does not completely replace humans, but in a component or aspect, this will be the most effective solution to improve the best process and product. At the same time, fill the gap of long-term staff shortage. To illustrate the human-replacement applications of production automation, let's look at a few typical solutions below:

Cargo loading and unloading robot system

They are widely applied in industries, manufacturing plants in almost every field and bring high efficiency. As a very popular application of today's Robots, replacing simple operations, arduous and unsafe for humans. Create breakthrough productivity and improve the environment and production conditions of the factory.

AGV Autonomous Vehicle (AGV Autonomous Robot)

Widely applied today thanks to the efficiency it brings, they are applied in factories in some stages of moving goods that do not bring high value that people are doing or applied in the industry. Logistics, logistics.

This is a solution that plays an important role in the logistics supply chain, express delivery and in manufacturing plants that need to classify goods in large quantities, continuously. Automatic goods classification system:

Smart warehouse solutions

This is a solution that has been applied very popularly and widely around the world. In Vietnam, it is still in the early stages, but it is also being interested by many businesses because of the application of automatic warehouse solutions, which has brought great efficiency. great results for businesses. They help speed up import and export of goods, increase storage capacity up to 10 times with the same space compared to conventional warehouses, along with safety for people and statistics and data management. timely, accurate in real time.

COVID-19 has made many manufacturers unable to compete if they keep factories that rely heavily on workers. Fortunately, Smart Factory solutions exist to kick-start the transition towards more flexible and efficient ways of working. Smart manufacturing, automation applications can help businesses Industry recovers and thrives during and after the pandemic.

A successful automation strategy requires sound decisions on many levels. Do companies also need to define process automation or full automation? The plan and goals for automation must be really clear, preparing resources for automation is also a decisive issue for the success and degree of automation, the willingness and determination to transition to a new level. The higher production method of the management level also determines the success and speed of automation of production.
