Rising use of robotics in the industry to boost the market growth
The rising demand for industrial robots will drive the future market expansion of the "smart factory." A smart factory employs tools like information and smart sensor technologies, robots, the internet of things, or artificial intelligence to optimize and industrially automate its resources. According to International Federation of Robotics, a nonprofit organization headquartered in Germany, sales of new robots increased somewhat in 2021 by 0.5%, while robot installations are predicted to rebound rapidly and increase by 13%. Therefore, the rising sales of robots are the major factor driving the growth of the smart factory market revenue.

July 2023- It is with great pleasure that Singapore Finance and Huayuan Food Group jointly announce the building of the first edible fungus smart factory in the United States. The joint venture, which is based in Houston, Texas, will result in daily production of about 50 tons of American Enoki mushrooms, reducing the country's long-term reliance on imported mushrooms as the demand for wholesome edible fungus rises along with better eating patterns. The intelligent factory will employ cutting-edge technological processes for the ecologically benign, chemical-free, and soilless cultivation of edible fungi.
One of the biggest Chinese brand operators in the U.S. Asian food industry is Huayuan Food Group, which is a subsidiary of the Shanghai Finc Biotechnology Co., LTD. The partnership for this Houston-based smart factory displays support for the mushroom industry's rapid growth and an open mind to extending production abroad. One year following the start of construction, the factory is expected to be fully operational.
Along with the smart factory, the company will work to increase the influence of its Freshmore brand and develop a strategy for brand globalization. High-quality Chinese-grown mushrooms called Freshmore are sold in 57 different countries and are the nation's top industrial producer of edible fungus.
Finc is regarded as the innovator of white jade mushroom and crab mushroom industrial cultivation in China after 20 years of development. More than 190 utility and inventive patent applications have been submitted by the business. The white jade as well as crab mushrooms made by Finc are among the most popular fresh mushrooms within China, & its global brand Freshmore has enjoyed more than ten years of international recognition. Finc intends to continue its international growth by fostering closer relationships between businesses, academic institutions, and research labs, as well as through supporting the worldwide edible fungal market.
July 2023- Monday marked the formal start of the smart factory development initiative between Samsung Vietnam and the Ministry of Industry & Trade (MoIT), which aims to assist Vietnamese businesses in joining global supply chains.
Accordingly, 12 firms from Bắc Ninh, Hà Nam, Hà Nội, Hưng Yên & Vĩnh Phúc will take part in a three-week training course to learn about smart factories & nine-week practice during the project's first phase. Vietnamese consultants and Samsung experts will assess the companies' operations and aid in the establishment of smart factories.
Then, specialists would keep helping the businesses develop their operational and managerial processes and make improvements.
The ceremony's keynote speaker, Thng Hi, the deputy minister of industry and trade, said: Vietnamese manufacturing enterprises are facing many challenges in the context of a highly competitive market, with a self-screening and selection mechanism, having to race with large organizations not only in international markets but also in domestic markets. As a result, Vietnamese manufacturing companies will inevitably follow the trend of constructing smart factories.
In 2022, the ministry collaborated with Samsung Vietnam to implement the MoU on cooperation project on the development of smart factories between the MoIT and Samsung Vietnam. The ministry trained 51 smart factory consultants and supported consulting and improvement for 26 enterprises using smart factories in both the North & the South.
The project has contributed a great deal of thorough knowledge to assist improving the capacity of production operations based on enterprises' information technology and support improving the competence of domestic consultants. The ministry will continue executing the project in 2023 and the years after that based on the reaction and active engagement from the business sector.
Samsung Vietnam has been working to help the growth of Viet Nam's support sector through various support operations since 2008, when the company first made an official investment in the country.
