Vietnam has a lot of potential for developing the agricultural product processing industry, food quality, food and potential market access. However, any export market has its own barriers, forcing businesses to make efforts to overcome. Understanding this, many businesses have taken steps to improve the backlog problems of their companies and corporations, specifically the application of digital transformation. In particular, it is impossible not to mention the food industry.

1. Existing difficulties of the food processing industry 

In the domestic market, the production process of a number of agricultural and aquatic products is still fragmented and spontaneous, leading to uneven quality of agricultural and aquatic products, difficult to control safety issues and difficult to apply regulations. world standard for traceability. There are products that do not meet food safety standards, affecting the image and brand of Vietnamese goods.

For the manufacturing industry in general and food processing in particular,  input materials, production line management, product quality and inventory are all difficult problems . Just a small mistake such as a few wrong packages in the shipment or moisture deviation during the logistics is enough for the manufacturer to fail to meet the customer’s target and lose hundreds of billions of dong in the immediate future as well as its reputation. Castle.

In the past, when the production volume was small, manual management was relatively easy. However, with the current dizzying increase in market demand as well as the development of science and technology from competitors in the industry, businesses must change to not lag behind.

Moreover, besides the achievements of the agricultural product processing industry, the development of the food processing industry is still quite modest compared to its potential. Specifically, the enterprise’s machinery, equipment and technological lines have been invested for a long time and lack many convenient features. The machines are invested asynchronously, so the data is not uniform; large cost of investment, improvement and technical upgrade for the current equipment and technology system; risks in choosing inappropriate equipment and technology. Moreover, businesses do not have a clear process, operating according to experience, habits and handling cases. Software investment costs are a barrier for small businesses, and enterprise data is out of sync.

2. How has the food industry been applying digital transformation?

• Who to apply to the conversion process

First, it is necessary to transform from a small-scale farming model to a centralized and modern model and mode of husbandry. To make decisions that have such a powerful impact on the next steps of a business, leaders need to use their sharp assertiveness and smart choice.

Mavin Group has just announced the official operation of ERP software for the animal feed industry. On the basis of SAP S/4HANA application, Mavin’s entire production and business activities in the feed industry will ensure the accuracy of time and budget, and ensure the best quality to achieve the same goals. future. Mavin’s ERP project is also a project of great significance to Vietnam’s agricultural industry, in line with the current policy and trend of digitalization and application of 4.0 technology.

• Collect data, set metrics and evaluate 

FPT’s leaders have spent a lot of time and effort to thoroughly understand the mistakes that some businesses have gone before. From there, they summarize and give lessons and improve skills for their own businesses.

FPT and “Shrimp King” Minh Phu agreed to jointly develop solutions and products that can be applied to the shrimp industry and Vietnam’s agricultural industry in general.

Regarding the success of digital transformation, Mr. Truong Gia Binh cited Gartner Group’s report, according to which 9 out of 10 business leaders have started digital transformation but 7 have failed. Failure here is understood as not achieving the set goal, but all continue to do. The success has been in some of the world’s leading corporations. They have gone before and the people behind can record, summarize into methodology and implement small steps. FPT has its own strengths for successful digital transformation and consulting.

The digital transformation consulting contract for Minh Phu Seafood signed on December 24 will affect Vietnam’s shrimp industry in particular and the digital agriculture industry in general. Therefore, the two sides agreed not only to develop solutions for Minh Phu but also to develop solutions and products that can be applied to the whole shrimp industry and Vietnam’s agricultural industry in general.

Chairman and CEO Minh Phu – Mr. Le Van Quang wishes that digital transformation into shrimp farming will solve 3 risks of disease, weather, and people. Artificial intelligence will use smart measuring devices to measure environmental parameters, analyze images of shrimp to make timely and correct decisions. Digital transformation at this stage also helps to connect with the next stage, the processing stage, to best meet the needs of customers.

The digital transformation implementation process will be an iterative roadmap consisting of the following steps: building a digital transformation roadmap and strategy, including: strategic orientation; survey to understand the reality and come up with an appropriate digital transformation model; rebuild the entire digital transformation roadmap for businesses.

From the time of developing the roadmap to the implementation of projects, FPT will also work with Minh Phu Seafood to develop a communication training roadmap, linking all internal and external resources and objects to gain support. maximum support of the forces to help Minh Phu successfully convert numbers.

3. Conclusion

It is not because it is a trend that businesses digitally transform, but digital transformation actually brings a lot of benefits to all aspects of business activities: from management to research and business. Because of this deep understanding, the number of businesses and industries applying digital transformation has gradually increased every day. Not only that, the progressive methods that they put together in parallel with the implementation of digital transformation have also achieved great success and are worth learning from many other businesses.

Vietnam is talking a lot about digital transformation, but for digital transformation, cloud computing is indispensable, with two components: data center and technologies to convert data centers into cloud computing. The club was born with the mission of popularizing data center and cloud computing technologies to Vietnamese businesses, bridging the gap in technology and competitiveness between domestic and foreign enterprises. for Vietnamese businesses to optimize their resources and survive in the digital era.

Therefore, in order to keep up with the influence of the 4.0 technology revolution, each individual, business, organization and government must make great efforts to transform themselves, in order to “absorb” the process of change and application of technology. Only then will we hope that the Digital Transformation process contributes to the development of businesses in particular and the economy in general.
