Promoting smart manufacturing

Production at a supporting industry enterprise

For many years, Dong Nai has also encouraged businesses to produce smarter.

Inevitable trend

Smart production and digital transformation are solutions to develop modern industry, meeting the increasingly high standards of the world market. That is also the goal that Vietnam is aiming for so that enterprises can gradually enter the global supply chain. In early October 2025, the Ministry of Industry and Trade decided to issue the Program to Support and Promote Smart Production and Digital Transformation in the Industrial and Commercial Sector until 2035.

The overall objective of the program is to create breakthrough efficiency in digital transformation activities, develop smart production, and contribute to improving the competitiveness of enterprises in the industry and trade sector. The Ministry strives to complete the development and implementation of the Digital Transformation Readiness Assessment Index and the Industrial Digital Transformation Architecture Framework and the Smart Factory Technology Architecture by 2030. Gradually form and popularize the application of a system of technical standards and regulations serving digital transformation and smart production activities, in harmony with the system of international standards and regulations.

According to experts, sustainable, lean, and smart production is an irreversible trend for businesses today.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Truyen, senior expert of the International Labor Organization (ILO), commented: Sustainable production is a factor that any enterprise must pay attention to if it wants to develop and integrate. Accordingly, enterprises need to gradually optimize their production processes, redesign the production process to both create productivity and reduce emissions into the environment, and reduce energy loss. If this can be done, the input costs of enterprises will be lower, creating a competitive advantage.

Mr. Bui Anh Tuan, Director of the Department of Private Enterprise and Collective Economy Development ( Ministry of Finance ) affirmed: Vietnam clearly recognizes that digital transformation and dual transformation are no longer options but urgent requirements for businesses to survive and develop. The State also issued policies, notably Resolution No. 68-NQ/TW dated May 4, 2025 of the Politburo on private economic development. It mentioned core tasks such as: Promoting science, technology, innovation, digital transformation, green transformation, effective and sustainable business.

Businesses change to keep up with development trends

In Dong Nai, for many years, the province has been selective in attracting investment for projects in industrial parks. The province is also implementing solutions to promote enterprises to apply technology, increase productivity, product quality, and more sustainable production.

Dong Nai is strongly encouraging the business community to invest in modern technology to improve productivity, product quality, reduce emissions and develop sustainably. The province is making great efforts to improve the investment environment, raise the competitiveness index and enhance dialogue, promptly remove difficulties for businesses.

According to Mr. Lu Chinh Minh, General Director of Electronic Tripod Vietnam Co., Ltd. (Bien Hoa 2 Industrial Park), changing technology to keep up with the rapid and strong development trend in the current period is and will be an inevitable trend. The company is gradually converting production technology, applying industrial automation. After a period of investment in Dong Nai, Tripod has expanded its investment in Ba Ria - Vung Tau (now Ho Chi Minh City) for a circuit board production project with a total capital of 260 million USD. Phase 1 with an investment capital of 60 million USD is expected to be put into operation at the end of 2025 and continue to invest in phase 2. This factory applies high technology and more than 80% of production stages are automated to meet the criteria of green production, low emissions. This is also one of the top important factors that Tripod's customers in other countries are demanding.

Not only large enterprises but also small and medium enterprises and startups in the province are more interested in technology and smart production.

Mr. Le Xuan Thoi, Director of Astek Co., Ltd. (in Trang Dai ward, Dong Nai province) said: With the development of digital technology, automatic production lines are increasingly widely applied in production. That is the market that Astek Company is aiming for. To meet the needs of partners, Astek is providing the market with products: automatic packaging lines, raw material feeding systems, machines to minimize human labor according to customer requirements.

On the training side, Associate Professor Dr. Nguyen Ngoc Lam, Lac Hong University (in Tran Bien ward) said: The school is currently cooperating with many enterprises inside and outside the province to transfer technology and consult on clean production solutions, friendly to the environment. The school is also ready to coordinate to organize many seminars, forums and extracurricular activities to raise public awareness about the importance of green industry...
