The young people of coconut have created many useful products to serve the needs of automation and mechanization in local production and business.
Although starting a business for less than 2 years but the production and business model of young couple Le Thi Hue My and Le Trong Hieu, born in 1988, in Huu Dinh commune, Chau Thanh district, Ben Tre province has been initially successful. . The couple has adopted technology 4.0 in the way of living, creating a career, making very unique and useful products for society.

sculpted by her company's automation equipment.
After nearly 2 years of research, Le Thi Hue and Le Trong Hieu and his wife have produced more than 20 CNC automation machines. These are metal tool machines, automatically operated by commands from computers, for laser cutting, laser engraving, wood carving, wood turning, 3D printers ...
Le Thi Hue My and Le Trong Hieu, from Luong Quoi commune, Giong Trom district, were formerly officials of Ben Tre import-export joint stock company. In early 2017, in response to the Dong Khoi - Start-up program launched by the Provincial Party Committee of Ben Tre, the couple quit their jobs at the company to embark on a startup project.
From the capital contribution of about VND 100 million, combined with the low interest rate support fund of Ben Tre Start-up Fund and Industrial Promotion Fund of VND 350 million, the young couple rented land in Huu Dinh commune to start their business. .
From the trained knowledge from Can Tho University and through the practical work process, you studied and manufactured CNC machines, ie machine tools for automation. Le Trong Hieu is a mechatronics engineer, so he started to research and assemble a machine with automatic control technology. Ms. Le Thi Hue My designed drawings, programmed on computers to be able to control automation of machinery lines.
The highlight is that these models are based on automation technology, designed, programmed and controlled automatically through computers.
Currently, models manufactured by Hue My-Trong Hieu husband and wife are favored by customers because of advantages: convenience, low cost and useful in life. Depending on the type of machine that costs less than VND 100 million, many times lower than the machine imported from abroad; Meanwhile, performance, performance is almost the same. Therefore, almost every machine you produce is purchased by customers near and far.
After the successful production of automation machines, Le Thi Hue My and Le Trong Hieu established Tung Phat Automation One-member Co. Ltd. as Hue director. This is a turning point, rising above the start of the young couple's career in coconut.
Unique motifs on coconut shells.
Ms. Le Thi Hue My said that CNC machines can be used in handicraft production on wood, especially for coconut wood in Ben Tre. Recently, handicraft production facilities have to buy this kind of machine from abroad very expensive.
To produce for this model, you have consulted the needs of customers, then consulted and produced with the function, suitable machine size, meeting the needs. Before receiving the machine, customers are well guided how to manipulate and operate the machine to meet the requirements.
Advantages of CNC machines manufactured by Tung Phat Company are to help producers simplify and reduce labor, stable output, and can produce day-night, uniform product quality. The machine works pre-programmed with the design on the computer, so the operator just needs to lightly press the button on the keyboard with his finger to dictate the operation and receive the finished product at the desired time.
On the other hand, CNC technology can upgrade the sample or variety, improve the number of samples for users without having to look to the manufacturer or buy a new machine with an investment of hundreds of million dong.Particularly, lager cutting and engraving machines can be operated to cut, engrave pictures on leather, paper, wood, plastic, pica.
In addition, Hue My also researched and introduced 3D models: printing plastic products according to the design images available on the glorious machine. Next time, Le Thi Hue My and Le Trong Hieu will focus on The manual upgrade of the mechanical lathe line operated by CNC technology compared to the original plan was to produce new machines.
Not only manufacturing and upgrading CNC machines, Tung Phat Company is also associated with 4 handicraft production facilities which are applying CNC technology machines in the province to receive the production of many handicraft items. technology in and outside the province.
In addition to working with her husband to build CNC machines, Le Thi Hue My also applies the company's products to produce products from coconut shells. From the less used coconut shells, through the hands of Hue My has become very unique items for living in every family. These are water jars, lanterns, children's toys, decorative items, and unique items that both serve the domestic market and export to the United States and Europe.
Although the project started with new technology successfully, this year, Tung Phat Company reached a revenue of nearly 1 billion, voted by Ben Tre province as a typical model. Mr. Nguyen Truc Viet, Secretary of the Youth Union of Chau Thanh district, Ben Tre province assessed, the idea of starting your business Hue My is a new and breakthrough idea.
“Wood-carving machines produce beautiful patterns, shapes, and letters while if they are hand-crafted, the sculptors have to do very long to produce these products. These products help reduce the time to create products, help reduce costs, ”Mr. Viet said.
Currently, the Dong Khoi-start-up program in Ben Tre province has developed and entered into reality. In particular, the start-up model from the application of scientific and technological achievements by the couple Le Thi Hue My and Le Trong Hieu in Huu Dinh commune, Chau Thanh district is very unique and promising. With creative hands and minds, this young couple created useful products to serve the needs of automation and mechanization in local production and business.
