AI & Manufacturing

In a recent survey conducted by Universal Robots (UR), a leading Danish collaborative robot (cobot) company, over half of the 1,200 manufacturers surveyed across North America and Europe reported already integrating artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) into their production processes. 

The University of Queensland (UQ) announced a partnership with the Advanced Robotics for Manufacturing (ARM) Hub, aimed at advancing the development and commercialisation of industry-driven research over the next four years.

The manufacturing industry in Australia is continually evolving, driven by technological advancements and increasing demands for efficiency and productivity. 

Australia’s manufacturing sector is experiencing a significant technological revolution, driven by advancements aimed at enhancing efficiency, sustainability, and global competitiveness.

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.

Thales and the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) have partnered to push the boundaries of generative artificial intelligence (AI) in the defence and security sectors.

As global industries dive deeper into Industry 4.0, it is becoming increasingly clear that understanding and utilizing data and artificial intelligence is not just a technological advancement. It is a fundamental prerequisite for maintaining market competence and securing long-term success. 

If we distilled the common objectives for manufacturing in this country the priorities that surfaced would no doubt centre on greater productivity, more sustainable processes and the ability to keep pace with market leaders and be globally competitive. 

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.

According to a recent study by Oxford Economics, midsized companies in the industrial manufacturing sector are setting their eyes on ambitious growth targets. The research, authored in partnership with SAP, revealed that 38% of industry leaders have identified market expansion as their top priority.
