Automation remains an inevitable trend in today's industrial era. Automation technology plays a pivotal role - it is a prerequisite for companies to grow and strengthen their position in the market.
To better understand the benefits of adopting technology and its real-world applications, let's explore them with SBiz.vn in this article!
How important is automation technology?
Applications of automation technology
Vietnam is integrating ever more deeply into the global “playing field”. So, to respond promptly to the strong changes and demands of the market and to fierce competition, investing in technology, modern production lines and automation in production... is something businesses must do to ensure sustainable development in the future.
Here are some real-world applications of automation technology in everyday life.
Automation technology for agricultural machinery
Today, applying high technology in agriculture is the deciding factor in the success of agriculture in recent years. In practice, almost all countries with high agricultural productivity are those that apply the most technology in agriculture.
For example, in countries with high-tech agriculture, people no longer do the work directly as before; instead they control and operate agricultural equipment. This has reduced the agricultural workforce while still delivering high productivity.
Applying automation in agriculture
Some modern technology applications that have contributed to the success and outstanding development of agriculture in many countries include:
Driverless plows and tractors.
Drip irrigation technology.
Robots of all kinds (robots for sowing, watering, raking soil, weeding...).
Automation technology for industrial machinery
Automation technology in industry is becoming ever more developed. Businesses recognize the need to apply automation in their production processes. Factories and production lines are equipped with automated systems or controlled robots. These robots are very useful, especially in hazardous industries.
According to VTV.vn, Foxconn, the world's largest electronics manufacturer, has replaced 60,000 workers with specialized controlled robots. According to the Kunshan city government, the factory cut its workforce from 110,000 to 50,000 employees. As a result, its wage bill also fell significantly.
Applying automation technology in industry
According to the South China Morning Post, last year about 35 Taiwanese companies, including Foxconn, spent a total of US$609 million on artificial intelligence. Chinese government statistics show that about 600 companies in Kunshan also plan to follow Foxconn in automating their production processes. This shows that applying automation technology to production is a must if businesses want to grow.

The benefits of applying control and automation technology in production
In industrial production, support from control and automation technology is essential now. People's tasks are replaced by the activities of machinery, automated robots… in the production process to increase labor productivity and reduce headcount, time and costs for businesses.
The main benefits businesses gain from applying control and automation technology in production include:
Maximizing productivity
Any factory that applies control and automation technology achieves clearly higher productivity than with traditional methods. With automation, production relies entirely on machines that work continuously 24/7 without the rest periods or shift breaks workers need.
Furthermore, an automated line operates 2-3 times faster than manual human work, significantly increasing businesses' production output.
Automation increases labor productivity
Significant savings in costs and labor
Applying automation technology in production means maximizing the involvement of automated machinery and minimizing human intervention in the production process. This helps businesses reduce labor costs and thus save on wages.
Automation reduces labor >> saves costs
Fewer workplace accidents
According to VTV.vn: by calculation, automation technology will help businesses increase productivity and eliminate about 72% of the common causes of accidents in production environments. Furthermore, many stages of production are dangerous if people carry them out directly. Automated technology lines therefore ensure workplace safety in factories.
