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.

Australia risks widening the gap between small and large businesses in the adoption of artificial intelligence unless more targeted support is provided to help small businesses use the technology safely and effectively, the Council of Small Business Organisations Australia (COSBOA) has warned.

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.

Applications have opened for a CSIRO program supporting Queensland small and medium-sized businesses exploring research and development opportunities in digital technologies and artificial intelligence, including digital manufacturing.

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.

Rinnai Australia has deployed an AI-powered customer service assistant to streamline service operations and improve efficiency, with the HVAC manufacturer reporting response-time improvements of up to 35 per cent.

Australia's manufacturing sector is entering a new phase of digital transformation. Artificial intelligence (AI), automation, and connected operational technologies are reshaping production environments, helping manufacturers improve productivity, strengthen supply chain resilience, and remain globally competitive.
