As businesses face increasing demands for productivity, quality, and competitiveness, the adoption of technology, automation, and digitalization has become an important approach to optimizing operations and improving overall performance. On August 10, 2026, at the headquarters of the Hanoi Department of Science and Technology, HAMI attended a working session focusing on the implementation of the Productivity and Quality Program. Mr. Nguyen Trong Thuong, Member of HAMI’s Executive Committee and General Director of ETEK, joined the session as a representative of the association. The discussion focused on developing a network of productivity and quality experts, establishing pilot models at enterprises, and promoting the application of advanced technologies to improve production and operational efficiency.
 

Automation as a Foundation for Higher Productivity and Operational Efficiency

As businesses place greater emphasis on productivity, quality, and operational efficiency, automation is becoming an increasingly important foundation for optimizing processes, making better use of resources, and improving control across production and business activities. The application of appropriate technology solutions can help businesses reduce manual tasks, minimize errors, improve process stability, and strengthen monitoring and management capabilities across different operations. Depending on the characteristics of each industry, businesses can adopt a wide range of solutions, including control and monitoring systems, industrial robots, inspection equipment, data management platforms, warehouse and logistics automation, and intelligent connectivity solutions. These applications not only contribute to higher productivity and quality but also provide a foundation for businesses to gradually move toward digitalization, automation, and smarter operating models.

ETEK Promotes Technology Applications Based on Practical Business Needs

With extensive experience in providing technology and automation solutions across various industries, ETEK believes that technology implementation should begin with the actual challenges and requirements of each business. Rather than investing in isolated technologies, businesses need to clearly assess their current operations, define their objectives, and develop an appropriate roadmap based on their scale, needs, and available resources. Solutions can be applied across different areas, including production automation, control and monitoring, industrial robotics, quality inspection, data management, warehouse and logistics automation, technical training, and smart operation models. Through these applications, technology goes beyond simply supporting production. It can also help businesses standardize processes, improve operational visibility and control, and enhance overall efficiency.
 

Human Resource Development Alongside Technology Adoption

Technology transformation does not necessarily require businesses to begin with large-scale or complex systems. Companies can start by assessing their current operations, identifying processes with high levels of waste, inefficiency, or manual work, and then implementing appropriate solutions in stages. Once processes become more standardized and data is better connected, businesses can gradually adopt IoT platforms, digital solutions, intelligent monitoring systems, and artificial intelligence to strengthen their analytical, forecasting, and decision-making capabilities. This step-by-step approach provides a practical foundation for businesses to move toward smarter production, management, and operational models.
 

ETEK Accompanies Businesses on Their Productivity Improvement Journey

Through its participation in collaborative programs involving government agencies, industry associations, and the business community, ETEK continues to contribute practical experience in automation, technology application, and operational improvement. The combination of expert training, pilot productivity and quality models, and the adoption of automation, digitalization, and AI is expected to help businesses approach technology transformation in a more systematic and practical manner. ETEK continues to accompany businesses in improving productivity and quality, optimizing operations, and gradually applying advanced technologies to build more efficient, connected, and intelligent operations.
