Aerospace company Sidus Space has recognised additive manufacturing’s capability as a highly effective tool to optimise weight in systems designed to reach space, with the development of a 3D-printed satellite set to launch in 2023.

In today’s era of modern manufacturing, industrial efficiency is paramount. However, as technology advances, so do the risks and complexities associated with electrical maintenance. 

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. 

Australian manufacturing is thriving despite cost pressures, supply chain issues and labour shortages. A new CommBank report shows how digitisation and sustainable practices are reshaping the sector.

The Australian manufacturing sector is at a crossroads between keeping up with automation and technological evolution and the pressing issue of attracting and retaining a skilled workforce. 

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.

Over the last three years, manufacturers all over the world have had to dramatically shift their focus from efficiency to resiliency in order to weather unprecedented global events, such as the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine. 

Following its successful virtual discussion in December 2022, leading NetSuite implementation partner Annexa is facilitating yet another exchange of insights and ideas aimed at building an efficient and resilient manufacturing operation in Australia. 

As the world grapples with the challenges of climate change, Australian manufacturers are increasingly recognising the need to reduce their carbon footprint and transition towards a more sustainable future.

Working in manufacturing has been an interesting time in the last 12 months, with a rapid and yet, mostly undiscussed transition to working from home. With that has come a lot of really clever solution ...
