AI & Manufacturing

The Advanced Robotics for Manufacturing (ARM) Hub said it is contributing to efforts in supporting the adoption of artificial intelligence in Australia’s manufacturing sector, in line with the government’s expanded $73.3 billion National AI Capability Plan.

Nearly half of organisations are uncertain that their current manufacturing strategies will deliver on business outcomes over the next three years, according to a new survey by American research and advisory firm Gartner, Inc.

What we consistently hear from industry leaders is the need for real-time visibility across their global operations, which is key to ensuring their operations stay agile and scalable.

Australian health technology company Diag-Nose.io has secured $3 million in federal funding to advance local manufacturing and clinical validation of an artificial intelligence-powered diagnostic platform designed to improve treatment of respiratory disease.

Unplanned downtime costs Australian businesses an average of $349,000 AUD per hour, significantly surpassing the global average of $194,000 AUD. Despite this substantial financial impact, many manufacturers continue to rely on reactive maintenance strategies, leaving their operations vulnerable to unexpected disruptions.

Finalists have been announced for Australia’s first dedicated AI and robotics sprint, Propel-AIR, a national initiative aimed at fast-tracking emerging innovators in the field. 

Midsize companies in the global industrial manufacturing sector are facing a transformative era driven by automation and artificial intelligence (AI). As industry leaders recognise, these technologies are reshaping the very foundations of manufacturing processes and workforce dynamics.

Researchers at Edith Cowan University (ECU) are developing new methods to help machines better understand human emotions, by improving how artificial intelligence interprets facial expressions.

More Australian businesses are embracing artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance productivity and decision-making, according to the latest data released by the federal government.

Technology company Siemens has partnered with Sachsenmilch Leppersdorf GmbH to implement an artificial intelligence-powered predictive maintenance system at one of Europe’s most advanced milk processing plants.
