Cognex has launched a new wafer and panel identification system designed to help semiconductor manufacturers maintain production throughput and traceability as demand for advanced chips grows.

Artificial intelligence is entering a new phase—one that extends beyond digital productivity into the physical world.

Manufacturing teams could use expanded artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities to automate repetitive tasks and connect product data across the lifecycle, according to Autodesk.

Engineers Australia has called on the Federal Government to place engineering and technical expertise at the centre of Australia’s approach to artificial intelligence (AI), arguing that the country’s AI ambitions will require investment in people, infrastructure and technical oversight alongside the technology itself.

NVIDIA is working with Australian data centre and AI infrastructure providers to expand capacity for manufacturing and other industries, with the companies targeting up to 2 gigawatts of AI infrastructure buildout by 2027.

Manufacturing advances at RMIT University have supported the development of a prototype neuromorphic vision system that researchers say could eventually contribute to smart bionic eyes and other low-energy artificial intelligence technologies.

Agile Robots has showcased robotic automation and AI-driven robot training technologies at two European events, highlighting potential applications for manufacturing and industrial automation, according to the company.

Australian manufacturers could face both productivity opportunities and workforce challenges as artificial intelligence continues to advance, according to the World Bank Group’s World Development Report 2026: The Promise of Artificial Intelligence.

Manufacturing organisations are increasingly looking to agentic AI and digital workers to address workforce capacity pressures, as skilled workers remain stretched by persistent skills shortages and increasingly complex operations, according to new research commissioned by IFS.

As manufacturers look to extend artificial intelligence beyond data analysis and into physical operations, the focus is increasingly shifting towards systems that can sense, interpret and respond to conditions on the factory floor.
