On 11 May 2026 School of Engineering University of Phayao, led by Assistant Professor Dr. Nuttanon Pongpanit, in collaboration with ezyHVAC Co., Ltd., organised a training programme entitled “Lean Automation for Agro-Industry” under the Lean Automation Systems for Agro-Industrial Enterprises Project for Fiscal Year 2026 initiated by Regional Industrial Promotion Center 1.
The programme aimed to strengthen the competitive capabilities of enterprises across the eight upper northern provinces of Thailand through the integration of Lean Manufacturing principles with Automation technologies. The initiative focused on enhancing production efficiency, reducing operational costs, and promoting sustainable business practices within the agro-industrial sector.
The project attracted interest from more than 20 enterprises, from which only 10 high-potential establishments were selected to participate intensively in the programme. In this regard, Easy HVAC Co., Ltd. worked closely with a team of specialists from the School of Engineering, University of Phayao to conduct on-site diagnostics, capability assessments, and in-depth consultancy services for participating entrepreneurs. The initiative sought to develop exemplary “Success Case” enterprises capable of effectively implementing automation systems and lean concepts while preparing for the transition toward the digital industrial era.
This collaboration reflects the vital role of higher education institutions in bridging engineering knowledge, industrial technologies, and innovation development with real-world industrial applications. Such partnerships serve as a key mechanism for driving regional economic growth and strengthening the competitiveness of local industries in a rapidly evolving industrial landscape.
On this occasion, the School of Engineering, University of Phayao would like to express its sincere appreciation to Regional Industrial Promotion Center 1 for its trust and continued support in this collaborative initiative to advance industrial development in Northern Thailand.
