Electricity price volatility is reshaping the cost base of Australian manufacturing, challenging long-held assumptions that energy can be treated as a stable operational input.

As the Australian manufacturing sector faces the challenges and transformations that come with rapid globalisation, the role of digital technology within the industry has never been more critical. 

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.

Sustainability has become a significant driving force in the global food supply chain as the demand for alternative products increasingly pressures manufacturers and distributors into abandoning single-use non-biodegradable plastic packaging.

The manufacturing industry has been revolutionised by additive manufacturing (AM), which provides unmatched design freedom, material efficiency, and quick production times. Despite these benefits, post-processing is still essential to ensure that AM parts have the necessary surface polish, accuracy, and functioning.

The prototype was developed largely in Australia and provides proof of concept for a local e-bike industry and market. Australian e-bike innovator Zoomo has revealed...

As the sports manufacturing industry evolves, artificial intelligence (AI) is emerging as a critical catalyst for innovation and efficiency.

Laser-guided vehicles (LGVs) are increasingly utilized in a growing number of manufacturing and distribution facilities, and for good reason. 

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. 

This International Women’s Day, the Advanced Manufacturing Growth Centre has recognised female leaders who are pushing the boundaries and challenging stereotypes and misconceptions in pursuing a career in manufacturing.
