Sustainable Manufacturing and Industrial Encoder Selection for Modern Factories

AMS operates as a technical consultant and solution partner, supporting industrial manufacturers in selecting industrial encoders that truly fit their production requirements. We do more than supply equipment; we help end users choose encoder solutions aligned with their operational strategy and long-term sustainability goals.

This article addresses key questions manufacturers should consider today:

• What does “sustainability” really mean in measurement equipment?

• Why does the sustainability strategy of an encoder manufacturer matter?

Let's explore these questions in detail.

1. Global Sustainability Trends Are Changing Equipment Selection Criteria

As global trade moves toward a more fragmented and multipolar structure, Vietnam is increasingly recognized as a sustainable manufacturing and export hub. This position is reinforced by reliable government policies and prudent monetary management.

With this role comes higher expectations. Vietnamese manufacturers must adapt their operations to align with global trends and meet increasingly strict requirements from international customers.

Sustainability standards are no longer optional recommendations. In many major importing markets, they are now embedded in regulatory frameworks. A clear example is the European Union (EU) one of Vietnam's key export markets which is implementing new regulations such as:

• Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM)

• Mandatory supply chain sustainability due diligence

• Eco-design requirements for sustainable products

• Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR)

(Source: Government News Portal, according to Dr. Nguyen Thi Thu Trang - expert in international economic integration and law)

Facing pressure from ESG requirements, parent company audits, and global supply chains, manufacturers today no longer need an encoder that simply “works.” Encoder replacement decisions must be strategic and future-oriented.

Equipment within production lines must meet requirements for:

• Traceable and transparent origin

• Compliance with environmental standards

• Manufacturing by companies with clearly published and credible Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) commitments

2. What Does “Sustainability” Mean in Industrial Measurement Equipment?

In this context, sustainability is not just about green colors or recycling slogans. From a technical perspective especially for industrial encoders sustainability is reflected in:

• Equipment lifespan

• Signal stability and reliability

• Long-term production continuity

• Traceability and supply chain transparency

Encoder manufacturers that focus on sustainability actively work to reduce both direct and indirect waste. Reliable encoders support stable production while minimizing resource consumption and operational risk over the long term.

AMS strongly recommends that manufacturers consider sustainability factors when selecting encoders. Doing so helps reduce risks when working with international partners and prepares factories to meet future ESG compliance requirements.

3. Why the Encoder Manufacturer's Sustainability Strategy Matters

Understanding the sustainability strategy of an encoder manufacturer is critical. At AMS, we deliberately partner with manufacturers that demonstrate clear commitments and measurable actions, ensuring their solutions align with the needs of Vietnamese industrial producers.

Sharing the same values and long-term vision, AMS is proud to represent Leine Linde, a global encoder manufacturer that places sustainability at the core of its operations.

Leine Linde believes in sustainable development and continues to contribute positively to business, society, and the environment. Each year, the company undergoes a comprehensive sustainability assessment by EcoVadis, one of the world's most trusted sustainability rating providers. 2025: Awarded the EcoVadis Silver Medal, a significant improvement from the Bronze Medal in 2024.

AMS believes that the choices we make today shape the world we live in tomorrow. As a global brand, Leine Linde is committed to doing the right thing reducing climate impact, using resources efficiently, and conducting business responsibly.

Leine Linde's sustainability efforts deliver measurable positive impact, including:

• 95% of aluminum used in encoders is recycled aluminum

• Long-life encoders that improve efficiency, reduce operating costs, and extend application lifespan

• 22% reduction in carbon emissions per product sold since 2020

• Active community engagement, local sponsorships, and partnerships

• Ongoing dialogue with customers, employees, partners, and suppliers on sustainability goals and progress

4. AMS's Role in the Sustainable Manufacturing Journey of Vietnamese Factories

As an industrial encoder supplier in Vietnam, AMS is inspired by the sense of responsibility demonstrated by the manufacturers we represent. Therefore, the message we aim to share goes beyond technical solutions; it reflects a long-term vision for sustainable development.

With deep understanding of local manufacturing conditions, international requirements, and appropriate technical solutions, AMS helps customers:

• Avoid incorrect equipment selection

• Reduce long-term operational risks

• Ensure production continuity and reliability

Ultimately, equipment is only a tool. People and decisions create sustainability. AMS works closely with end users in decisions related to maintenance, replacement, and system upgrades, ensuring long-term value rather than short-term fixes.
