Viettel announces comprehensive automation solution chain for Logistics industry

On October 1, Viettel Military Industry and Telecommunications Group announced the Comprehensive Automation Solution Chain for the Logistics Industry at the Vietnam Innovation Day 2024. Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh visited Viettel's booth at the event and highly appreciated the role of technology platforms in digital infrastructure and national logistics infrastructure. The comprehensive automation solution chain for the logistics industry, developed by Viettel Post, automates all stages in the transportation chain from warehousing to delivery. At logistics complexes applying the solution chain, processing capacity increased by 40%, the error rate was almost zero. Viettel Post's entire system load is currently 4,000,000 postal items/day, equivalent to meeting 50% of e-commerce capacity in Vietnam .

The chain of automation solutions is the technological foundation for Viettel's national logistics infrastructure construction strategy, including logistics parks, smart border gates, dry ports - infrastructures connecting goods between Vietnam, the region and the world . All robots, conveyor systems and control software systems in the stages of storage, picking, packaging and sorting are completely technologically owned by Viettel.

Currently, the solution chain is applied at all Viettel Post exploitation centers, including the first and largest smart sorting technology complex in Vietnam at Quang Minh Industrial Park ( Hanoi ) and the 130ha logistics center in Lang Son. In 2024, Viettel will invest in Laos, Thailand and China with the orientation of providing a complete solution for cross-border logistics and deploying the Vietnam - China intermodal railway route, thereby deploying many new routes connecting Southeast Asian countries.

At the Vietnam Innovation Day 2024, Viettel demonstrated 4 autonomous robots in the solution chain: Drone (unmanned aircraft transporting goods in hard-to-reach locations), AGV sorting robot (autonomous robot sorting goods), AGV picking transport robot (autonomous robot with a 1-ton payload to transport large goods), arm robot (robot applying computer vision to pick, lift and move goods). Also at the event, Viettel introduced the 5G device ecosystem and green data center model. 5G transmission station and 5G baseband processing block, developed by Viettel High Tech, serve the widespread deployment of 5G in the coming time. Viettel 5G private network system (5G Private) serves production automation and IoT applications in factories and businesses.

Viettel aims to develop data centers (DC) with a total capacity of 240MW, about 1.5 times the capacity of all DCs in Vietnam today. The first model is Viettel Hoa Lac Data Center - the first green data center in Vietnam with a capacity twice the average, using 30% renewable energy, with a total electrical capacity of 30MW.

In the next 10 years, Vietnam will welcome the fourth wave of FDI, with the main growth drivers coming from industrial production and export. Logistics is expected to become a key and rapidly growing industry. However, Vietnam's logistics industry still has many limitations: Logistics costs account for over 20% of GDP, the process of sorting and selecting goods is still manual and semi-automatic, and the automation application rate is only 10%. Viettel's chain of logistics automation solutions aims to solve this problem.
