In an era where supply chain disruptions, long lead times, and rising costs continue to challenge manufacturers, on-demand production is proving to be the smarter, faster, and more cost-effective alternative.

Swinburne University’s AIR Hub has launched the META2.0 project, revolutionising UAV manufacturing by integrating automation, digital engineering, and advanced composite materials for high-rate aerospace production.

A new wave of innovation is transforming the Australian manufacturing sector, with sustainability at its core. ROBOVOID, in collaboration with Swinburne University, GT Recycling, and Sustainability Victoria, has developed a groundbreaking bed base made entirely from recycled plastic. 

Access to the right financial solutions is a crucial factor in business success, particularly for industries that require significant investment in infrastructure and expansion.

Australia’s manufacturing sector is facing a turning point as it navigates skills shortages, digital transformation, and increasing global competition.

Australia’s manufacturing industry is undergoing significant changes, with a focus on reshoring production, strengthening supply chains, and integrating new technologies.

Priorities in the supply chain are expanding, moving away from cost as the main driver behind purchasing decisions. Now, sustainability and ethical sourcing are grabbing a portion of the spotlight.

As industries strive for peak efficiency and reliability, intelligent motor starting solutions are becoming the go-to choice for safeguarding critical machinery and ensuring flawless performance.

Australian consumers value safety and reliability. When they buy a product, whether it’s food, appliances, vehicles, or hardware, they expect it to perform as promised and meet acceptable quality standards. 

Across today’s ever-changing manufacturing landscape, automation is no longer a luxury — it’s a necessity. The field of additive manufacturing (AM) is no exception.
