FPT and Intel, a global leader in semiconductor and artificial intelligence technologies, have announced a strategic collaboration to deliver an end-to-end AI-driven factory optimization solution aimed at transforming industrial operations. The joint offering combines artificial intelligence, simulation and digital manufacturing technologies to help manufacturers reduce bottlenecks, improve decision-making and accelerate recovery from production downtime. The initiative is designed to support the industry’s transition toward autonomous and data-driven manufacturing environments.
Manufacturers worldwide are managing increasingly complex operations involving multiple systems, large data volumes and fast-changing production demands. Many still face challenges in predicting disruptions, improving production flow and extracting full value from real-time operational data. The FPT-Intel collaboration seeks to address these issues through a closed-loop factory intelligence model, where simulation tools, live data and AI continuously refine operational performance.
The partnership brings together Intel’s high-speed simulation and digital twin technologies with FPT’s data platforms and system integration capabilities. Intel’s Automated Factory Solutions portfolio, including Intel Factory Pathfinder and Intel Factory Recon, provides manufacturers with a dynamic, end-to-end view of factory activity and performance.
FPT complements these tools with its digital manufacturing platforms, including FleziOps (MOM+), FleziQMS (Quality Management Suite) and FleziUDP (Unified Data Platform). These systems connect information across manufacturing execution systems, enterprise resource planning platforms and shop-floor operations to create a unified data layer. This enables seamless deployment of Intel’s AI-powered optimization tools within active production environments.
The combined solution is designed to help manufacturers run thousands of AI-led simulations to identify the best production strategies, detect bottlenecks before they disrupt operations, improve scheduling and material flow, and monitor factory activity through real-time digital twins.
Paul Schneider, Principal Engineer and Director at Intel Corporation, said, “Manufacturing is one of the most complex operating environments in the world. Improving performance requires more than standalone tools; it needs an intelligent and connected ecosystem. Through this collaboration with FPT, we can extend the reach of Intel’s factory optimization technologies and help manufacturers apply AI insights at scale.”
Hoan Nguyen, FPT Software SEVP and FPT Americas CEO, FPT Corporation, said, “Manufacturing has reached a stage where AI is no longer limited to supporting operations but is increasingly managing them in real time. We are seeing rising demand for adaptive systems that respond instantly to changing conditions. By combining Intel’s technology leadership with our AI-led solutions and global delivery strength, we aim to help manufacturers unlock higher efficiency and agility.”
FPT has already delivered digital transformation projects for more than 150 manufacturing companies, helping convert conventional production lines into smart factories with stronger supply chain resilience. The company supports these programmes through a global workforce of more than 25,000 certified engineers delivering AI-enabled solutions.
FPT Corporation (FPT) is a Vietnam-headquartered global technology and IT services provider with a presence across more than 30 countries and territories. With over three decades of operations, the company has delivered technology-driven solutions to millions of users and supported tens of thousands of organisations worldwide.
Positioning itself as an AI-focused enterprise, FPT aims to strengthen Vietnam’s standing in the global technology landscape while delivering advanced, AI-enabled solutions to international clients. The company’s strategy is centred on three key pillars: Digital Transformation, Intelligence Transformation, and Green Transformation, enabling businesses to adapt to evolving technological and sustainability demands. In 2025, FPT reported total revenues of USD 2.66 billion and employed a workforce of more than 54,000 professionals across its core business segments, reflecting its continued growth and expanding global footprint.
