Seminar on garment-textile digitalisation, automation solutions to be held
The Vietnam Textile and Apparel Association (VITAS) has announced that its member enterprises are invited to attend a seminar on digitalisation, automation solutions, Fourth Industrial Revolution transformation in the garment sector, scheduled to take place in Hanoi on May 28.
Under a theme on smart manufacturing for the future, the seminar will provide a platform for policymakers, industry experts and businesses to discuss technological breakthroughs at a time when the global textile and apparel market is facing significant changes and challenges.
In the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, Vietnam’s textile and garment industry is confronting rising labour costs, increasingly stringent sustainability requirements from international markets, and shorter delivery timelines. Transitioning from traditional manufacturing models to smart factories is no longer an option but a necessity for maintaining competitiveness.
The seminar is designed to offer businesses a comprehensive and practical understanding of the digital transformation journey, helping them reshape operational processes and optimise resources.
At the event, leading technology experts and speakers will present the latest automation solutions across the production chain, from design and garment manufacturing to integrated supply chain management. Participants will have the opportunity to explore key technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data and automated control systems that can reduce errors and significantly improve productivity.
The organisers will also highlight successful smart factory models already implemented in practice, enabling VITAS member companies to learn from real-world experiences and avoid unnecessary risks and costs when investing in new technologies.
Beyond knowledge-sharing, the event will provide networking and business-matching opportunities between textile-garment enterprises and leading technology solution providers. It will allow business leaders to discuss specific operational challenges and receive expert guidance in developing digitalisation roadmaps tailored to their scale, needs and financial capabilities.
