On the morning of June 27, 2023, two experts of NABCO - Japan's number one automatic door company, came to Son Ha Auto’s headquarter to start a 3-day intensive training program on automatic door installation techniques.

Since the first automatic door was manufactured in Japan in the 1950s, NABCO have developed a vast range of products for different applications. NABCO is now the leader and pioneer in the Japanese automatic door market and one of the major automatic door manufacturers in the world.
In Vietnam, NABCO automatic doors have been installed at many important projects such as the airport system (Noi Bai, Tan Son Nhat, Da Nang, Cam Ranh, Phu Bai...); the chain of AEON Mall system (Long Bien, Ha Dong, Hai Phong, Tan Phu, Binh Tan, Binh Duong) and numerous hotels, commercial centers, office buildings and hospitals.
As NABCO's leading market in Asia, Vietnam is the first country outside Japan selected by NABCO to organize training and granting certification for technicians. A technical training course for NABCO certification must fully meet the following requirements:
About facilities: A minimum area of 150m2 is required which divides into two sections for class room training (with full audio-visual equipments, sound system, light, projector, desk for 20 students) and practice area (with sample door system, automatic door equipment, and installation tools to ensure only four students practice on 1 set of automatic doors).
About the trainer: NABCO's experts have high level technical qualifications with many years of experience and especially possess a certificate of automatic door installation issued by the Japan Automatic Door Association (JADA).
About students: Technicians must meet high requirements such as having more than three years of experience installing automatic doors, working on large projects, and installing many automatic doors. This training session gathered 16 skilled technicians of Son Ha Auto and sub-distributors from the Northern, Central, and Southen of Vietnam.
On the first day of training, trainees were carefully instructed and practiced installing a complete set of automatic doors with basic configuration according to NABCO's precise installation process and fully meeting technical standards of Japan Industrial Standards (JIS).
During the second training day, NABCO experts trained and gave practical instructions on the installation, connection, and set up of optional accessories including the program switch (APS-A10), Emergency Operation System (EOS), Electric lock (SKD-T10), Extended converter (IO-A10); The interlocking system and especially the motion direction sensor avoid unintentional door opening (VD-A10).
The last day is dedicated to testing for certification and skills contest for automatic door installation. 16 participants were divided into 8 teams, each team consisted of 2 technicians competing to install and set up a complete set of automatic doors with a maximum time of 60 minutes.
At the end of the test and skills contest, all participating teams completed their tasks in the allotted time and received a "Technical Skills Training Certificate" from NABCO. Prizes and souvenirs of NABCO were awarded to the 5 teams with the fastest installation time.
Commenting on the training session, experts from NABCO highly praised the automatic door installation skills of the Vietnamese technical team and the extremely meticulous organization of Son Ha Auto.
In addition, NABCO experts also shared that besides good product quality, the quality of installation work plays an extremely important role for a set of automatic doors to operate correctly, stably, smoothly and durably.
In the current trend of modernization and automation, automatic doors will be used more and more widely in residential, commercial and public projects. With a reputation for quality and leading market share in the world, in the future NABCO automatic doors will remain a reliable choice of investors and contractors in Vietnam.
