The two sides also planned to explore additional areas in Digital Transformation including Smart Brewery, Cloud Migration to Azure, Open API platform, Data strategy and analytics. 

The cooperation between FPT and Carlsberg was initiated since January 2018. After a few months of collaboration, FPT has played the role of DT partner for Carlsberg in many projects related to Manufacturing Execution System (MES); AI for Planning and Connected Bar. With MES, FPT has enhanced the company’s experience in delivering projects related to digital monitoring and controlling system, helping Carlsberg to optimize the manufacturing process and maximize production output. FPT was chosen to implement this project because of its proven technology capability and strong global presence, especially in Asia. Carlsberg has been planning to roll out MES for 14 factories across this continent in the near future. In addition to MES, FPT is going to leverage the company’s expertise in Artificial Intelligence to help Carlsberg analyze consumers’ behavior, predict demand and plan for production.
