Three common challenges are shaping the way Australian manufacturers are approaching payroll and workforce management. The future-focused solutions are designed to overcome these challenges in ways that optimise efficiency, reduce costs, improve employee safety and experience, and improve recruitment and retention.

With energy costs increasingly becoming a hefty part of a manufacturer’s bottom line, the urgent need arises for groundbreaking methods that would help the industry alleviate its energy consumption. 

Smart factories are the future of Australian manufacturing. Characterised by digital technology, real-time data-driven systems, automation and artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML), the modern smart factory is an achievable goal for manufacturers of all sizes, across all industries.

The Australian manufacturing industry is fast entering the era of Industry 4.0. Harnessing the latest technology and transforming your operation into a smart factory is vital to building resilience, and optimising productivity and operational efficiency. And with the right help, it’s easier than you might think.

The Australian Made claim has never been more powerful than right now. It tells consumers products that carry the claim are made to some of the world’s highest manufacturing and safety standards, with inputs often sourced from Australia’s clean green environment. It also makes a compelling statement about generating local jobs and economic activity.

For many decades, manufacturing leaders have been seeking to crack the code for the right operational model that would boost production, improve product quality, and reduce hiccups in operation. 

Over the last five or six years, customers have moved on from simply thinking about how emerging tech can help them, to actively looking at implementing digital transformation ...

There is no denying that the manufacturing sector has a problem with waste reduction and we do not need an environmental scientist pointing it out in order to realize the issue. 

As modernisation pushes the boundaries of manufacturing at record-high speed levels, the future is looking promising for business leaders who place heavy prioritisation on adopting solutions aimed at increasing their throughput efficiency. 

Indeed, the effective collection, analysis and application of data is at the heart of any smart factory’s strategy and operations. And if the data is the heart of the smart factory, then the data architecture is its lungs.
