In today’s interconnected world, data collection, analysis and utilisation have become essential for driving efficient and sustainable operations.

In 2020, Kyocera AVX, a US-based global manufacturer of advanced electronic components, spearheaded a plan to globalise all the systems across its manufacturing facilities located around the globe. 

In a world where the food industry is constantly evolving, the adoption of online training systems has emerged as a crucial catalyst for business success. These days, staying competitive requires more than just secret recipes and skilled cooks; it demands a well-trained and adaptable workforce capable of managing the complexities of modern production.

Skill shortage has emerged as a pressing concern in the Australian manufacturing landscape as volumes of migration into the country increase and the need to fill the manpower gap reverberates throughout the industry. 

Australia’s property sector is expected to take on a bigger role in the country’s transition to net zero emissions with the rise of alternative building materials that offer immediate and long-term environmental benefits. 

The race is on to make space components more dependable, affordable, scalable, and producible using agile manufacturing techniques as the aerospace industry moves quickly towards additive manufacturing (AM) as a method to convert innovative, physics-based designs into higher-performing parts.

For every 10 people that leave the manufacturing sector as machine operators, only one person comes in, according to Rapid Robotics CEO Jordan Kretchmer. 

Additive manufacturing continues to revolutionise how components and tools are manufactured on a large scale. However, due to a lack of materials, lengthy print times, high cost, and strict quality criteria, 3D printing was not initially a feasible alternative for large-scale industrial manufacturing.

Wheelchair-using employees must be able to manoeuvre around the manufacturing workspace without difficulty and be safe from hazards including stairwells, narrow entrances, and inadequate restrooms. Making modifications to increase access can make a significant impact on how a disabled employee performs and feels at work.

Australians’ perception of local manufacturing is growing steadily through the years as the critical industry becomes a vital factor in the country’s economy and the nation’s efforts to achieve environmental goals.
