Viettel Post researches and owns the leading modern technology in the logistics industry.

Viettel Post has launched hundreds of modern robots of all kinds that they produce themselves. 10 technologies in the 4 core stages of the logistics chain have been developed to gradually implement the strategy of building a national logistics infrastructure.

In early 2024, Viettel Post's Smart Sorting Technology Complex located in Quang Minh Industrial Park, Hanoi put 200 AGV sorting robots into use. Because Viettel Post is the first enterprise to invest in new technology on such a large scale, this event is considered a milestone in the Vietnamese logistics industry in 2024. At that time, robots were purchased from abroad and Vietnamese engineers mastered the operating technology. Only half a year later, a fleet of modern robots researched and manufactured by Viettel Post appeared and went into operation in the exploitation centers.

Viettel Post self-produces robots, providing a chain of automation solutions for the entire process After using imported AGV robot systems and realizing the limitations of the system, Viettel Post self-developed and created its own version of the robot generation. With this success, Viettel Post not only mastered the robot control system but also became the first logistics company in Vietnam to master both hardware and software: providing AGV robots whose entire control circuits, internal components and programming systems were researched and developed by Vietnamese engineers, Viettel Post. AGV Sorting Robot - born after 6 months of research - uses sensor technology and a magnetic positioning system to navigate in the workspace without human intervention. This group of robots is capable of automatically sorting goods, moving at high speeds of up to 2m/s, saving 40% compared to other sorting systems. AGV Picking Robot - only took 3 months from research to production - uses QRCode positioning technology, Lidar sensor to integrate, connect with robot hardware, apply to operation, transport goods in Fulfillment warehouses.

It only takes Viettel Post engineers 3-6 months to master robot manufacturing technology (Photo: Tran Long).

Viettel Post has planned to commercialize the robot produced by this unit for the external market by the end of this year, after operating in internal warehouses and successfully testing in factories of some major customers. From there, Viettel Post will move towards providing a solution to fully automate the transportation of goods for production for partners. Going beyond the warehouse and factory areas, up to now, Viettel Post has built 10 technology groups according to 4 core stages of the logistics chain (including warehouse - transportation - customs clearance - last-mile delivery supply chain system) to complete a chain of complete automation solutions to help optimize the movement of goods from the place of production to consumers. The chain of automation solutions that Viettel Post has built is the technological foundation for Viettel's national logistics infrastructure construction strategy, including logistics parks, smart border gates, dry ports - infrastructures connecting goods between Vietnam, the region and the world. Mastering technology, building cross-border logistics infrastructure As planned, Viettel Post will develop logistics parks, including a large border gate center, realizing the strategy of "Bringing border gates from the border deep into the interior" announced at the beginning of the year. Viettel Post Logistics Park combined with the smart border gate project provides a complete logistics solution including: transportation, warehousing, customs clearance, quarantine, import - export... right in the interior. Thus, a closed supply chain for cross-border logistics will be formed, expected to shorten customs clearance time by 40%, improve warehouse efficiency by 30%, and reduce warehouse management costs by 25%.

Viettel Post's modern technologies will simultaneously appear at the logistics park to be opened in December (Photo: Tran Long).

Viettel Post owns all the software for registration, centralized management, coordination, supervision, and simulation at the Logistics Park. Along with that, TMS (transportation management system) technology, ERP (enterprise resource planning) technology, smart warehouse management technology (WMS)... help plan, implement and optimize customs clearance, freight transport and smart warehouse management. These are also technologies that Viettel Post has developed and applied in its service chain and proven effective. The leading technologies in the logistics industry today are all applied here and are all developed by Viettel Post engineers.
