A series of partnerships between small business players and academia have received backing from Australia’s national science agency, CSIRO, to realise big research and development outcomes in various industries, including manufacturing. 

As the manufacturing industry evolves over time and competition increases, business leaders are forced to develop ways to remain competitive and drive growth. However, some business leaders seem to fall short of strategies to diversify lines of business to achieve sustainability.

An aspect limiting the production of today's power hubs is the metals used in the blades, bearings and seals of their steam turbines, which tend to soften and elongate far before their melting point.

With Industry 5.0 kicking off, manufacturing companies are at the forefront of a technological revolution, seeking innovative solutions for their factories to drive operational efficiency and maintain a competitive edge.

The global manufacturing industry is currently facing massive transformations and uncharted challenges with the arrival of Industry 4.0’s technological advancements. 

With the rapid advancement of urbanisation and infrastructure development all over the world, the question of how to address the volume of waste produced by the construction industry has become a serious and pressing issue on a global scale. 

Precision Plastics Australia has unveiled DesignLab.au, a new platform designed to link global product designers with Australian additive manufacturing capability, in a move that reflects the growing shift toward locally produced, design-led consumer goods. 

The economic value of the global animal health industry might be largely unknown to many, overshadowed by more popular markets like mining and agriculture, however, two established Victorian manufacturers have set their sights on capitalising on their long-standing partnership to grab a slice of the growing market.
