In the era of technology 4.0, the phrase "IoT/AI for factories" is no longer strange to many people. However, turning those concepts into reality is still a big challenge for many businesses. This often makes many companies feel hesitant, although it sounds attractive but the actual implementation is still quite far away.
On the morning of September 12, Cat Van Loi's management team shared about the journey of applying IoT in the company's factory. After participating in an intensive program on improving factories through IoT, within just 6 months, four key personnel of Cat Van Loi successfully built basic IoT components for the factory - and the special thing is that all were self-developed.
Valuable lessons learned by the Cat Van Loi team during the implementation process include:
1. Focus: It is necessary to clearly define the goals, at Cat Van Loi, the top priority is to increase output and improve the effective operating hours of the machines.
2. Start small but in the right place: Instead of applying widely from the beginning, Cat Van Loi focuses on areas with the most urgent needs, specifically pressing/stamping machines and pipe production lines.
3. Implement quickly: To achieve growth momentum, IoT implementation needs to be done quickly and decisively, helping to create momentum for the next steps.
4. Optimize according to user needs: The most important factor is to make the IoT system suitable for the usage of workers and team leaders. The system must be simple, easy to use, with few operations and complex parameters, to ensure operational efficiency.
With these pioneering steps, Cat Van Loi has built a solid technological foundation for the factory, paving the way for a smarter manufacturing future, creating opportunities for innovation and outstanding development in the future. This is the time for us to affirm: not just talk, but do! Do it for real, do it quickly, and move towards leadership!
