CNC VINA × FESTO Automation Seminar 2026 – Connecting technologies for the future of smart factories

On the morning of November 12, 2026, CNC VINA, in collaboration with FESTO Group, hosted the CNC VINA × FESTO Automation seminar 2026 – Automation solutions for smart factories at CNC VINA’s Design & R&D Center. The event welcomed more than 20 delegates, including business leaders, engineers from manufacturing companies, technology experts, and university lecturers. It provided a valuable opportunity for participants to explore the latest industry trends, share practical experience, and exchange insights on effective solutions to meet the increasingly demanding requirements of modern manufacturing.

As manufacturers face growing pressure to reduce labor costs, maintain product quality, increase productivity, and improve energy efficiency, automation has become a key driver in enhancing manufacturing capabilities. The seminar focused on a practical question: how can manufacturers select and implement the right automation solutions—not only to meet immediate operational needs but also to deliver sustainable, long-term value for their factories?

In his opening remarks, Mr. Dao Anh Van - Director of CNC VINA, warmly welcomed the delegates and guests, expressing his sincere appreciation for their time and participation. He expressed his hope that the seminar would serve as an open and collaborative platform where businesses, experts, and technology providers could share experiences, exchange practical insights, and explore solutions tailored to real manufacturing needs. He also emphasized the importance of strengthening cooperation among organizations to facilitate access to emerging technologies, enhance automation capabilities, and drive sustainable improvements in manufacturing efficiency.

During the seminar, experts shared insights into automation trends and smart factories, practical experience from real-world project implementation, and advanced applications in the electronics and automotive industries. FESTO's comprehensive portfolio of products and solutions was also introduced, featuring pneumatic automation equipment, valves and valve terminals, compressed air preparation units, servo motors, electric actuators, and motion control solutions. In addition, FESTO's technical training programs were highlighted as an important resource for supporting businesses and educational institutions in strengthening their technical expertise and progressively developing the capability to master advanced technologies.

Alongside ongoing technological advancements, artificial intelligence (AI) is opening up new opportunities for applications in industrial manufacturing. Discussions at the seminar provided valuable insights into the potential of AI in factory operations, highlighting its role in improving product quality, enhancing operational efficiency, and accelerating the transition towards smart manufacturing. These insights also offered businesses a broader perspective on technology investment, emphasizing the importance of evaluating not only the initial investment costs but also the overall value and performance of systems throughout their entire lifecycle.

Beyond its technical content, the seminar also provided an opportunity for delegates to meet, network, and exchange experiences in an open and friendly atmosphere. Informal discussions throughout the event allowed businesses to share their real-world manufacturing challenges, gain a deeper understanding of technological capabilities, and explore potential opportunities for future collaboration. CNC VINA would like to express its sincere gratitude to all delegates, customers, and partners for taking the time to attend and contribute to the success of the event. We would also like to extend our appreciation to FESTO Group for its close cooperation and support in sharing valuable knowledge, practical experience, and technological solutions for the manufacturing industry.

With a strategic focus on developing machine design and manufacturing solutions, as well as automation system integration, CNC VINA places great importance on building partnerships with technology providers, keeping pace with the latest technological advancements, and supporting manufacturers in enhancing their production capabilities. Through knowledge-sharing and collaborative initiatives such as the CNC VINA × FESTO Automation Seminar 2026, CNC VINA aims to continue promoting the value of technology, strengthening professional connections, and working alongside its customers and partners towards increasingly modern, reliable, and efficient manufacturing systems.
