INTENSIVE CONNECTIONS AT VIAF 2022 EXHIBITION

Following the success of the Vietnam Industrial Automation Exhibition series (VIAF - Vietnam Industrial Automation Fiesta 2022) in Binh Duong and Da Nang, the 3rd edition of the series of events was organized in Kinh Bac Cultural Center, Bac Ninh province, Hanoi City, Vietnam.

VIAF is an international exhibition specializing in large-scale automation in Vietnam and Southeast Asian countries, organized by the event organization OMG. The exhibition is a small market to display and introduce machines, equipment, tools, materials,

and technology that are applicable in the manufacturing industry, mechanical engineering, automation, etc., attracting many domestic and foreign enterprises to attend to bring solutions for many different sectors.

At our booth B10, HELUKABEL Vietnam, we brought comprehensive electrical connection solutions, covering most of the key areas of the event. Some of our main solutions are related to Industrial Automation; Data, Network & Bus technology; Photovoltaics.

Mr. Prapan Angsuthasawit, Director of HELUKABEL Vietnam emphasized: “This is our first time participating in the exhibition in the North. The market here focuses on heavy industries such as cement and mining. Therefore, the products we supply in this market are also more special than those in the South. We have prepared a lot to bring comprehensive solutions to customers in the North with main products related to heavy industries, Photovoltaics, Industrial Automation, Renewable energy, BAS (Building Automation Systems)… We not only accompany customers during the three days of the event, but we also have an office in Hanoi ready to support customers at any time.”

Quan, currently working at Canon Tien Son Factory, a visitor said: “I came to the exhibition to look for solutions for the factory's automation production. In addition, I am also looking for products for power cables and LAN cables… I feel that event is meaningful,

creating an opportunity for me and the visitors to meet directly with suppliers and exchange information on more specific products and techniques”.

In addition, some customers visiting our booth B10 also shared about problems in their field. “Most of my customers are looking for power cables that meet the criteria of good signal transmission and can withstand the continuous movement of machines. Moreover, some factories also require the power cables to have good anti-interference ability to ensure the correct signal in the production line. Therefore, domestic cables cannot meet the requirements and I have to look to European electrical cable brands to meet the technical and quality requirements", said Doan Van Tho, working at Co., Ltd. Phuc Thinh Hai Phong shared.

Nguyen Quoc Doanh, Sales Engineer of HELUKABEL Vietnam said: “During the 3 days of the event, customers visiting the booth were all looking for specific solutions. In particular, some customers have problems with the durability of signal cables in the factory. At HELUKABEL, our highlight is our diverse product portfolio, which meets the technical requirements and applications in all locations in the factory such as power cables, control cables, signal cables, network cables, and cables for drag chains, etc.”.

Talking about the market in the North, Nguyen Son Hai, Area

Sales Manager of HELUKABEL Vietnam also shared: “After the period of the Covid-19 epidemic and the global economic crisis, the Northern market has slowly developed. However, when the deep-water port project in Nghe An - Ha Tinh is completed, it will facilitate import and export, contributing to the market's further development in the future. Especially, in this difficult period, we will always accompany businesses to help them solve the problems and help improve the production efficiency of the factory with the optimal solutions".

At the same time, Nguyen Son Hai also shared: “Industries such as mining, shipbuilding, cement production, iron, and steel will have harsh environments. Therefore, power cables used in these fields need to be resistant to high temperatures, have good chemical resistance, and be able to withstand constant twisting and high mechanical stress. We, HELUKABEL can all meet these specifications with a wide range of products and custom-

designed products.” Besides the activities of booths from companies in many different countries such as Germany, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam... The VIAF also has many trade promotion & closing activities at events such as Business Matching, conferences, Technology Live demos, Robot Performances, and other activities.
