Vietnam's HITI reduced inspection time from 20 to 5 seconds and improved defect-detection accuracy from 95% to 99% in an AI visual-inspection pilot. The ILO published the case on 8 December 2025; the figures relate to that specific production trial.
Before deployment, the project team assessed the site and mapped workflows to select a solution suited to operations. Quality control was then reorganized around three technically skilled supervisors; seven other employees were retrained and moved to higher-value roles.
The case highlights job redesign, transparent communication and training. Systems still need staff experience, feedback and oversight; technical deployment and change management together help make efficiency gains sustainable.
