Technology competition: The key to the development of the industry

In 2018, the index of industry-wide production increased by 10.2% (the plan of 9%). In this achievement, there is an important contribution of science and technology (S&T) – a key factor to promote production capacity.

Quality equivalent to foreign countries

Evaluating S&T contributions in the field of industrial production, Deputy Minister of Science and Technology Pham Cong Tac said that S&T tasks have focused on supporting the development of products of enterprises (enterprises) according to the value chain. to create Vietnamese branded products and goods with added value and high competitiveness in the market, improving productivity, product quality and industrial goods.

Many products have been designed and manufactured successfully to the same quality standards as imported products, such as manufacturing flexible production lines of pre-engineered mild steel buildings for civil houses and industrial plants. transferred a number of lines to domestic and foreign partners such as Australia, Taiwan, etc. Or, mastering the technology of manufacturing 5-degree freedom robots, with the quality equivalent to foreign products. have on the market and reduce 60% of product costs; Manufacture of horizontal rice drying system with capacity of 150 tons/batch, etc.

Besides, a value chain of manufacturing components, supporting equipment components, such as tweezers manufacturing with a automation level of 70-80% has been formed; designing and manufacturing a number of types of welding fixtures for car body frames; successfully manufacturing the system of electric cable production equipment, equivalent quality of Korea, Europe, with the price equal to 50% of the import price, helping Vietnamese electric cable manufacturing enterprises to invest and exchange new technology, improve production capacity.

In particular, the production of multi-component inorganic fertilizers using technology that uses granulated hot air. This is a new technology today, with low investment costs, stability and ease of operation, helping to increase the total NPK content greater than 40%, can add trace elements, high quality nutrients.

Focus on supporting businesses

In order to promote technology transfer activities, combining research with production practices of enterprises, creating a breakthrough and raising the level of science and technology of Industry and Trade, The Ministry of Science and Technology and the Ministry of Industry and Trade signed a program to coordinate S&T activities in the period of 2017-2020.

Accordingly, it will focus on researching, selecting and proposing to order a number of large-scale national S&T tasks and key ministerial-level S&T programs in order to deal in a focused and synchronous manner. contributing to promoting industries: Supporting industry, mechanical engineering, oil and gas exploitation and processing, deep mineral processing, energy, environmental industry.

In 2019, one of the key tasks of the Ministry of Science and Technology is to open the resources for S&T investment and innovation, especially from enterprises; deploy solutions to acquire and master the core technologies of the Industrial Revolution 4.0.
