The role of electronic manufacturing machinery and equipment

In the current time of rapid development of science and technology, the electronics industry has been having many innovations in production, especially the application of modern machinery and equipment systems in business activities. So, what specifically is the role of electronic production machinery and equipment? What is the development direction of electronic production machinery and equipment in the future? Let’s find out in detail with RX Tradex in the article below.

1. Current situation of electronics manufacturing industry in Vietnam.

What is the electronics manufacturing industry in Vietnam today? Electronics manufacturing is considered a key sector in the economy and has a strong impact on the entire industry in Vietnam. According to Phap Luat newspaper, electronics production is a leading industry in the country’s export turnover in the field of processing and manufacturing industry. Specifically, in the first 9 months of 2022, electronics continued to lead with an export value of approximately 87 billion USD, a trade surplus of 12.5 billion USD in the context of the country’s trade surplus of 6.5 billion USD. [1] In addition, Vietnam’s electronics industry is now mostly outsourcing and OEM (manufacturing equipment for the company). In particular, the export value has many signs of prosperity and our country is gradually becoming a leading country in electronic components processing.

With the following starting point, while the world has decades of research and development, Vietnamese enterprises that want to catch up with global trends are required to continuously improve technological processes, management skills and production machinery and equipment. From there, building a methodical and professional market access strategy according to the global electronics supply chain. Especially the application of advanced and modern machines and equipment in the electronic equipment production process.

2. The role of electronic production machinery and equipment.

What role do machines and equipment play in electronics manufacturing? In the field of electronics, production machinery and equipment play a very important role in creating products: computers, phones, TVs,… They help replace humans performing jobs in the production process such as: Circuit printing, assembly, quality control,..

By applying machinery and equipment to electronics production, businesses can increase productivity, reduce costs and improve product quality. It can be said that with advances in science and modern technology, machinery and equipment for production activities are playing a leading role in meeting the increasing demand in the electronics market today.

Some of the specific benefits and roles of using electronic production machinery and equipment are:

• Increase productivity: The application  of electronic production machinery and equipment helps increase productivity many times compared to manual production, improving the work efficiency of enterprises.
• Reduce costs: Businesses can cut production costs by automating manual tasks with  modern electronic production machinery and equipment.
• Improve product quality  : Electronic production machinery and equipment help businesses improve product quality and ensure high-precision finished products.
• Mass production: With lines applying modern machinery and equipment, enterprises can mass produce electronic components and equipment quickly and efficiently. Thanks to this, electronic products are produced on a large scale.
• Product diversification: Today, thanks to advanced electronic production equipment,  enterprises can flexibly create many different models of electronic equipment and components, responding to the rapid change of the market.
• …

3. The list of popular types of electronic production machines and equipment today.

What common electronic production machines and equipment are there? In the field of electronics today, there are countless types of production machines and equipment that are widely applied. Here is a list of some common machines and equipment in the electronics manufacturing industry:

• Equipment for printing electrical circuits.
• Assembly equipment.
• Quality inspection equipment.
• Screen printing device.
• 3D printing equipment.
• Laser cutting equipment.
• CNC drilling equipment.
• CNC turning equipment.
• Welding equipment.
• Painting equipment.
• Packaging equipment.
• Surface installation equipment.
• Mounted device.
• …

In addition, there are a number of other specialized machines and equipment used in specific electronics manufacturing industries, such as:

• Chip manufacturing machinery and equipment.
• Machinery and equipment for battery production.
• Screen production machines and equipment.
• Machines and equipment for the production of audio and visual equipment.
• Machines and equipment for the production of consumer electronics.
• …

4. Development direction of electronic production machinery and equipment in the future.

In the future, what will be the development methods of electronic production machinery and equipment? Currently, the electronics manufacturing industry in Vietnam still has many limitations and difficulties in finding a sustainable development direction in. According to the Institute for Strategic Studies, Industry and Trade Policy, the localization rate of the electronics industry is currently very low. Electronic products in Vietnam are mostly imported or assembled domestically by the majority of components manufactured from developed countries. It is estimated that each year, our country imports about 50 billion USD of electronic components, while the ability of electronics manufacturing enterprises to participate in the global value chain is still very limited. [2] Thereby showing that the capacity of domestic enterprises in the industry is not strong, product quality has not met the high requirements of the market.

Therefore, in order to improve product quality and build competitive advantages in the future, Vietnamese enterprises in electronics manufacturing need to focus on investing in product research and development. In addition, the change and application of modern equipment and machinery in production activities is also an essential requirement to improve capacity and create opportunities to participate in the global supply chain.

At the same time, Vietnamese enterprises also need to update new technology trends in the world to put into the production process, typically such as 5G technology, artificial intelligence, IoT ,… And to use these technologies in the best way, businesses will need to train high-quality personnel, combined with deploying appropriate machinery and equipment systems in electronics production activities.
