Viettel opens robot-equipped logistics hub in Da Nang
Viettel Post says sorting and transferring North-South cargo directly in Da Nang will shorten transport times by up to six hours.
Viettel has launched a logistics hub in Da Nang where autonomous robots, automated sorting and digital management reduce the time needed to process orders by 33 per cent compared with conventional operations. The site occupies more than 8.6 hectares.
Designed to connect Vietnam’s Central and Central Highlands regions to domestic and overseas markets, the hub contains about 39,300 square metres of warehouse space and associated infrastructure. Solar energy is also incorporated into the facility.
Its services range from storage and fulfilment of orders to consolidating cargo and coordinating multiple transport modes. The centre also provides import-export logistics, customs connectivity, e-commerce logistics and digital operations management. Businesses can obtain these services through one provider rather than set up their own warehouses, staffing and operating systems, while connected data let customers follow their goods.
At the inauguration, Lieutenant General Tao Duc Thang, Viettel’s chairman and CEO, said the investment supported national policy aimed at developing Vietnam’s logistics capabilities. He said the project would improve regional connections and the movement of goods.
Da Nang People’s Committee chairman Nguyen Manh Hung said the facility would help the city attract investment and support manufacturing and trade. He said wider access to logistics services would improve investment efficiency and supply-chain operations.
