The team from Australia’s first Advanced Robotics for Manufacturing (ARM) Hub are offering their extensive industry expertise to help manufacturers evolve and meet supply needs during the coronavirus pandemic.
The ARM Hub in Northgate is a collaborative facility for the local manufacturing sector, led by the Queensland Government and delivered in partnership with QUT and Urban Art Projects (UAP).
Minister for Manufacturing Cameron Dick said ARM Hub staff are eager to help more manufacturers overcome current industry challenges and fill gaps in the market, leveraging robotics, automation and other Industry 4.0 technology and processes.
“The ARM Hub is a facility for all of Queensland, and I encourage manufacturers from around Queensland to contact the team, take advantage of their knowledge and skills, and work together to take new products to market,” Mr Dick said.
“Just recently the hub’s robotics and design expertise has been called on to assist with the prototyping of the OzVader ventilator, which was designed and manufactured here in Queensland.
“Hub staff are also working on strategy and technical capacity with businesses to ensure they’re in the best possible position to bounce back successfully and keep employing once industry returns to normal operation.
