Vinfast: Accelerate production thanks to Siemens technology

Vinfast: Vietnam’s leading automobile manufacturer has successfully produced its first models ahead of time thanks to the application of Siemens intelligent integration software.

Siemens AG is one of the market leaders in electrical and electronic technology and is leading the innovation in automation and control, power and power management, and transport systems. transfer, building technology and medical devices. Siemens has many subsidiaries and abundant human resources in more than 90 countries. Siemens “innovations” have a huge role in promoting the production cycle of large corporations as well as small and medium enterprises. Typically Vinfast Group in Hai Phong, Vietnam.

By adopting the smart integrated software of Seimens AG, this group has pushed the actual production schedule much faster than originally planned. The actual deadline for Vinfast to build a factory, design and start producing cars is within 21 months, which is much smaller than the original figure given by VinFast. This is only half the time it takes to build a similar factory. It was impossible to build a large factory in that period of time without the help of technology 4.0.

Officially put into operation in June 2019, Vinfast factory has successfully produced 250,000 vehicles per year; The main models are motorbikes, small cars, SUVs and electric utility vehicles, and battery powered cars.

Currently, Vinfast is applying Teamcenter software at Seimens – a product lifecycle management solution, applied to manage product development processes from concept planning to production. school and warranty. This software, combined with NX software (the leading integrated application in designing, exporting and programming on computers to develop a copy model of cars and production), has helped Vinfast accelerate quickly. degree and flexibility in optimizing production processes, applying the insights gained in the manufacturing process to improve future productivity.

In addition to Teamcenter, Vinfast also applies the Siemens Opcenter software (formerly Simatic IT Unified Architecture) of Siemens to increase production progress and quality. This solution supports closed production and automates plant operations such as robots and conveyors including safety control features. Simatic of Seimens is applied in Vinfast production lines such as Arabian workshop, paint spraying workshop, assembly workshop or engine workshop, etc.

Moreover, Smatic HMI of Seimens also allows Vinfast engineers to operate and supervise. operating status of devices and the entire system. With specialized industrial features, Vinfast can also search equipment information, optimize material flows; ensure high efficiency in production activities and quality in the drive system.

In general, the cooperation between Seimens and Vinfast has become a great example of the automotive industry gradually changing strongly towards automatic digitization of 4.0 technology.
