Sustainable technology - the key to smart manufacturing in the digital age

With the mission of connecting global knowledge and promoting innovation in smart manufacturing, on April 22, Hanoi University of Industry (HaUI) organized the Second International Conference on Sustainable and Outstanding Technologies for Smart Manufacturing 2025. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Le Hong Quan - Chairman of the University Council; Assoc. Prof. Dr. Pham Van Dong, Vice Rector of the University; Dr. Nguyen Van Thien - Vice Rector of the University; Assoc. Prof. Dr. Hoang Tien Dung, Rector of the School of Mechanics and Automotive under HaUI attended and chaired the Conference.

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Pham Van Dong - Head of Organizing Committee, chaired the Workshop.

A new era of science and technology has opened with the emergence of large software systems, such as big data artificial intelligence models ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini; outstanding systems such as smart manufacturing systems, flexible manufacturing, lean manufacturing. Along with that, the strong integration of artificial intelligence models AI and machine learning into production systems is an inevitable trend in the digital age.

In the context of increasingly deep international integration, especially the Fourth Industrial Revolution, developing science and technology, innovation, and applying smart production are the prerequisite tasks, creating the foundation and the best opportunity to build a prosperous and powerful country in the new era, the era of national development.

2nd International Conference on Sustainable and Emerging Technologies for Smart Manufacturing 2025.

This year's conference marked a remarkable step forward when it received nearly 250 scientific articles from 8 countries (Federal Republic of Germany, Russian Federation, India, Korea, China, Japan, Serbia and Vietnam). Taking place in a combined form of in-person and online, the conference gathered more than 200 scientists and researchers, creating an open academic forum, a place to inspire breakthrough ideas, promoting sustainable technology development in the context of the 4.0 industrial revolution taking place strongly globally.

Expressing his honor that Hanoi University of Industry has hosted the conference twice, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Pham Van Dong, Vice Rector of HaUI, believes that strengthening cooperation, academic exchange, and finding new research directions, especially interdisciplinary and multi-disciplinary research directions, is an inevitable trend for scientists researching smart manufacturing. Therefore, the role of this conference becomes even more important and topical.

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Pham Van Dong - Vice President of HaUI - emphasized: This conference will be an in-depth forum where experts gather, exchange, research, promote potential, ensuring a smarter, more efficient and sustainable production future.

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Pham Van Dong hopes that through this conference, scientists and experts will share achievements, new discoveries, and breakthrough ideas; create a breakthrough to promote sustainable development, initiate international products and services, build the foundation and orient for extensive and effective cooperation in the future.

At the plenary session, speakers delivered in-depth scientific reports, reflecting typical research directions in the fields of smart manufacturing and emerging technologies.

Mr. Uwe Wedler, GROB Group - Asia Pacific Region shared about “Innovative CNC Approaches Driving E-Mobility and Smart Factory Transformation” - innovative CNC methods, promoting digital transformation in the field of electronic mobility (E-Mobility) and building smart factories. He emphasized the role of automation, battery and electric motor manufacturing technology, as well as 3D metal printing in improving efficiency and reducing production costs.

Assoc. Prof. Karpukhin Kirill - NAMI Russian State Scientific Research Center - shared about “Range Extenders for electric vehicles. The experience of development and application in the Russian Federation” - experience of deploying range extenders for electric vehicles in the Russian Federation, especially in regions with harsh climates. He also introduced solutions such as solar batteries, hydrogen electric vehicles, opening up new prospects for green transportation in many countries.

Prof. Aleksandar Ašonja, Novi Sad Business Academy - Serbia, shared about "Research Into the Energy Potential of Vine Pruning Residues in Western Serbia" - a unique study on utilizing grape pruning waste to produce biomass energy, contributing to creating a clean and highly economically efficient energy source in agricultural areas.

With a series of in-depth reports from international speakers, exciting parallel discussions and creative poster areas, the conference left many impressions, from technological solutions to reduce battery production costs, range extenders for electric vehicles in harsh climate conditions, to models of converting agricultural waste into clean energy... All of these created the unique features of this conference with widening scientific horizons, with many hopes and breakthroughs in the new era.

Sharing from scientists, leading experts, and lecturers not only updates the latest technology trends, but is also highly applicable, aiming to solve practical problems in industry.

The Second International Scientific Conference on Sustainable and Emerging Technologies for Smart Manufacturing 2025 affirms its role as an important bridge between academia and practice, between domestic and foreign researchers. The conference is an opportunity to connect schools with research institutes, businesses and the academic community; creating an open academic environment, motivating students, graduate students and young lecturers in scientific research activities.

The success of this conference once again affirms the orientation of developing scientific research closely linked to production practices of Hanoi University of Industry, a pioneer in training, research and technology transfer serving the industrialization and modernization of the country.
