The Ho Chi Minh City Department of Science and Technology is seeking feedback and suggestions from scientists and businesses to develop the most suitable system for managing product and goods traceability information in Ho Chi Minh City.

On August 31st, the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Science and Technology (DST) organized the August Innovation Networking event with the theme "Solutions for building and developing a product traceability system," aiming to commission and select a unit to build and operate a product and goods traceability information management system in Ho Chi Minh City; and to improve the efficiency of product and goods quality management and control.

According to representatives from the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Science and Technology, product traceability has become an indispensable part of supply chains to ensure the transparency and safety of products. Furthermore, product traceability enhances business credibility and builds consumer trust. Currently, product traceability is being implemented nationwide in Vietnam.

Mr. Dao Ha Trung, Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City High-Tech Association, shared his thoughts on the task of building a traceability system.

However, the collection, storage, connection, and sharing of data have not met the city's requirements; the data is not managed by state management agencies and is not linked to the National Traceability Portal. Therefore, the Department of Science and Technology organized this event to commission units to develop product traceability systems, aiming to support businesses in their production, business, and distribution processes.

The solutions must comply with national standards for traceability and relevant legal regulations. This includes applying new, advanced technologies that align with domestic and global trends, such as Blockchain, AI, IoT, and Big Data. Information must be declared in real time, ensuring data security and preventing alteration of traceability information. Furthermore, the system should be capable of flexible upgrading and integration, connecting with other businesses' traceability systems and the National Traceability Portal. The interface should be user-friendly and easy to use, allowing for easy data entry and operation. It should include a warning function for products that do not meet quality or food safety standards. Traceability data should be owned, managed, and stored within the city.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Kim Hue, Deputy Director of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Science and Technology, delivered a speech at the event.

Speaking at the event, Deputy Director of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Science and Technology, Nguyen Thi Kim Hue, said that in 2019, the Prime Minister issued Decision No. 100/QD-TTg approving the Project on the implementation, application, and management of the traceability system. One of the tasks of the project is to build and operate a system for managing product and goods traceability information in Ho Chi Minh City, capable of connecting information with traceability systems at businesses that perform product and goods traceability and connecting to the National Traceability Information Portal.

Through this event, the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Science and Technology hopes to receive feedback and suggestions from scientists and businesses to develop the most suitable system for managing product and goods traceability information in Ho Chi Minh City.

At the event, the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Science and Technology also presented a research project on "Research and development of artificial intelligence (AI) applications to serve state management." This aimed to explore opportunities for collaboration, networking, and commissioning scientific and technological research from universities, institutes, and businesses for implementation.
