Helping workers quickly adapt to modern technology

​

The workers adapt quickly to work at enterprises when renovating production

 Vocational training for workers

Although it has only been in operation for more than a year, Topband Vietnam Co., Ltd. (specializing in the production of electronic products, located in Long Thanh District) has attracted many export orders to European countries. However, in the face of the difficult situation of recruiting workers, the company has installed CNC automation (computer numerically controlled) production lines, industrial conveyors that operate automatically to create products with high exactly technical data. With these machines, each machine only needs 1 worker to control and still ensure the productivity.

Mr. Liao Shu Jiang, production manager of the company, said that the enterprise currently has nearly 500 employees. After the Covid-19 pandemic, the Company has stabilized production and had many orders from partners. This is a favorable production sign, creating motivation for enterprises to determine to win in the year. However, from the beginning of the year until now, the company has been continuously lack of workers due to not being able to recruit. In order to adapt the signed orders, the company imported more modern machinery lines for production. Accordingly, workers are also trained directly at the factory to quickly adapt to the job.

“If in the past, a line needed 4 workers, when applying supporting industrial machines to production, we just need 1 CNC machine worker who can still produce quality products thanks to the installed system with available technical data. In addition, new machines only need 1-2 workers to control. Although the work is lighter than it was, it requires workers to have technical skills, techniques, and take on the work quickly in order to be the master of new modern technologies and meet the job requirements "- Mr. Liao Shu Jiang added.

Similarly, many enterprises in the province are promoting the application of automatic lines in production. At the same time, senior employees are also trained to adapt to new technologies. A representative of Yuen Foong Yu Dong Nai Paper Co., Ltd (Long Thanh) said that in 2021, the company will expand production and invest in many automatic cartoning machines to completely replace manual work as before. The imported modern machines are worth about USD5 million per a machine.

Mr. Le Van Minh, the leader of the control group of the above machines, said that at the beginning of controlling modern machines at the company, workers found it difficult because they were unfamiliar with them. Having not including the technical data are used in English, so workers cannot adapt quickly. However, after 2 weeks of being trained directly on the machine, most workers started working very effectively. “I think that if workers do not quickly grasp 4.0 technology into production, it will be very difficult to meet job requirements when enterprises continuously innovate production and have more demanding requirements from workers' skills. Therefore, if workers are skilled, their income will be stable and they will have a strong foothold in the enterprise," said Minh.

Meeting the employment requirements

Mr. Maosheng Liu, Deputy General Director of Vietnam Center Power Tech Co., Ltd (Nhon Trach 2 Industrial Zone), a company specializing in the production of batteries, said that in the past 5 years, the enterprise has invested in technological innovation to boost production. Modern machines will be pre-programmed to create products, workers only need to control a few small operations for the machine to work. However, with unskilled workers who accept new technology slowly, it takes a long training process to be able to control well. Not to mention during the production process, if the machine has a technical error, workers must know how to promptly handle arising situations so as not to affect production.

Hirota Precision Vietnam Co., Ltd. (Nhon Trach 1 Industrial Zone), specializes in manufacturing all kinds of molds and processing metal and plastic details with high precision such as electronic components, car accessories, motorcycles, airplanes are applying modern technology to production in recent years. Accordingly, the employees working in the machine operating department, if they have high skills, they will be paid a decent salary and many other support policies. In addition, employees who have worked for a long time, on the day of establishment of the company will be given a car to show gratitude for the employees' dedication to the development of the enterprise.

According to the leader of Hirota Precision Vietnam Co., Ltd., the company's policy is always respect talented people, who responsible for work and progress-seeking spirit. As long as employees are quick and diligent with their works, the company will have a satisfactory salary and bonus policy. From good policy, up to now the company has had a team of skilled and creative workers who know how to master technology.

At the end of 2021, thousands of typical workers in the province have been gratefully appreciated by enterprises for their great efforts at work. This is a great source of encouragement for employees in the process of close-knit and striving hard for the development of enterprises. Especially the workers are honored for their initiatives in pandemic prevention and ensure the production. In addition, many employees have come up with ideas to shorten the production stage, contribute useful initiatives to help enterprises produce "three-on-the-spot" stably in the situation of lack of labors due to the temporary break to prevent pandemic during the past time.
