AI & Manufacturing

EngineAI Robotics has officially opened its new EngineAI Manufacturing Base in Shenzhen, China, marking the company’s transition to large-scale manufacturing of humanoid robots.

In the past year, artificial intelligence (AI) has surged forward like a digital renaissance, echoing the rapid and transformative rise of the Internet in the late 1990s. It has revolutionised industries and redefined our daily lives with extraordinary speed – and its impact is set to grow even more substantially in the coming years.

The global manufacturing sector is uniquely positioned to capitalise on artificial intelligence technologies, according to Tim Long, global head of manufacturing at cloud-based data platform company Snowflake.

Siemens and IFS have announced a strategic partnership aimed at helping manufacturers connect engineering, production and asset management data through industrial artificial intelligence (AI), with the companies saying the collaboration is intended to improve productivity and optimise production assets across the product lifecycle.

As the world grapples with the challenges of climate change, Australian manufacturers are increasingly recognising the need to reduce their carbon footprint and transition towards a more sustainable future.

Fujitsu Limited has announced dual strategic collaborations with artificial intelligence developers Anthropic PBC and OpenAI, aiming to accelerate AI transformation across Japanese enterprises.

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.

Companies across Australia and New Zealand are increasing their investments in artificial intelligence (AI), recognising it as a key driver of growth and innovation, according to a new survey commissioned by Schneider Electric.

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.

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.
