The MECA helps students to apply their knowledge into practice, practice team skills, team spirit, and the ability to create automation solutions for practical application, while promoting scientific research and facilitate scientific exchange between universities and companies in the field of electricity-automation, to explore the young generation potentials for the industrial revolution 4.0. The MECA has rapidly grown internationally. It was held in China (2007), India, Thailand, and Vietnam (from 2020).

Prof. Dr. Nguyen Duy Viet presented the souvenir to the General Manager of FA MEVN.

Before that, on the morning of December 18, 2020, the University welcomed and worked with MEVN to discuss the cooperation and sponsorship of Mitsubishi Electric equipment to UTC. The meeting took place in a constructive, open-minded atmosphere and achieved high efficiency. The two sides have agreed to establish Mitsubishi Electric laboratory, in which MEVN sponsors e-f@ctory automation equipment. UTC prepares a lab with an area of 100m2 and 20 tables with other equipment and materials.

The UTC had a meeting with MEVN on December 18, 2020.

Also at the meeting on December 18, 2020, MEVN presented the e-f@ctory smart automation solution. The e-f@ctory concept was introduced by Mitsubishi Electric in 2003 and deployed in cooperation with more than 610 partners around the world, applying to more than 7700 production lines. The smart e-f@ctory is a harmonious combination of humans, robots, and artificial intelligence. With an integrated internet network system in e-f@ctory and a computer center responsible for analysis and feedback, manufacturers can control the factory remotely via mobile phones, tablets, laptops. More importantly, robots also ensure the safety of people and production facilities, such as detecting the presence of people to suspend operations until humans reach a safe area.

MEVN presented the smart e-f@ctory solution.

Since its presence in Vietnam in 2011, MEVN has always aimed at improving the lives of Vietnamese people, creating a greener environment through sustainable business activities and contributions to the community. In particular, with smart e-f@ctory solutions and artificial intelligence robots, MEVN will continue to cooperate and develop Vietnam's fledgling manufacturing industry, contributing to the sustainable socio-economic development in Vietnam.
