RFID tracking and factory mapping software for Vietnam

Bac Ninh, east of Hanoi, has become one of Vietnam’s main electronics manufacturing provinces, with phone, component and assembly plants in its industrial parks, and neighbouring northern provinces have followed. Finished goods leave by road for Hai Phong, whose Lach Huyen deep-water terminals take large container ships, or as air cargo through Noi Bai.

In plants like these, reels, trays, sub-assemblies and finished units are small and valuable, and they move quickly between the SMT line, test, the secure store and the dock. Spatial Map shows each RFID-tagged unit where its last read put it, reader by reader, and replays its path with the History player; security zones and choke points are drawn on the layout and coloured by their live status. The Northgate Electronics demo shows this with 863 tagged units and a shrink report.

In the south, industrial parks in the former Binh Duong province and in Dong Nai make garments, footwear, furniture, electronics and consumer goods. Since July 2025 Binh Duong and Ba Ria–Vung Tau — home to the deep-water container terminals at Cai Mep–Thi Vai — have been part of an enlarged Ho Chi Minh City, so one municipality now spans factories, the city’s distribution centres and a deep-water port.

For a plant there, Spatial Map draws the assembly lines, workstations, raw-material and finished-goods racks and the receiving and shipping docks, then colours them from your MES and WMS. The Summit Assembly demo tracks 351 RFID work-in-progress carriers between stations, 867 rack locations and seven docks, and traces a held lot to the line it starves.

Vietnam is one of the world’s largest exporters of garments and footwear, and some international retail buyers ask their suppliers to apply RFID tags before goods ship. Once the tags are on, the factory can use them too: cartons read at pack-out, at the finished-goods store and at the loading dock tell you what has actually left the building.

Spatial Map does not encode or print tags; your RFID system does. It shows where each tagged carton was last read on the factory plan, keeps every read in row history and puts counts by zone in reports for the shipping team. Our guide to RFID tags for metal, liquids and apparel covers the tag side.

New plants change layout often in their first year, as lines are added and stores move. Upload the layout as a PDF or DWG and AI Map drafts walls, doors, racks, labels, areas, stairs and lifts for the whole floor or a rectangle of it; the drafts appear on the map for review and you add all of them, or keep and discard them by kind. A person always checks the result, and a later re-run on one area skips what is already drawn.

Because nothing is installed on site, a regional team in Singapore, Bangkok or Shenzhen can open the same live map as the plant floor, and read-only share links give an auditor or a customer one facility without an account.

The interface is available in English and Chinese, among six languages, which suits plants with Chinese-speaking managers; it is not available in Vietnamese or Korean. Line names, rack codes and report titles appear exactly as you write them, Vietnamese diacritics included. Your RFID middleware or RTLS engine sends rows to a table or exposes a REST endpoint, so the readers — and the frequency band they are approved for in Vietnam — are chosen with your hardware supplier.

Vietnam’s Law on Personal Data Protection took effect on 1 January 2026, replacing Decree 13/2023, and it is the context where tracking data relates to workers; your legal advisers decide what applies. Most plant projects tag units, carriers and tools rather than people. A data processing agreement is available and the security page describes how data is protected.
