The convergence of AI, sensing and IoT, robotics, automation and digital fabrication is changing how major projects are designed, delivered and operated.

At this workshop attendees will hear from sector leaders and researchers on practical use cases already improving safety, reducing downtime and extending asset life in the manufacturing, infrastructure and transport sectors.

Key reasons to attend include:

  • meet upstream and downstream partners – from suppliers and integrators to OEMs, solution buyers and end users – who are looking for collaborators, customers and technology providers
  • see cutting-edge research, prototypes and pilot projects from the University of Melbourne and innovation partners that are ready for real-world deployment
  • hear sector-specific use cases for AI, automation, sensing and digital fabrication that are already delivering gains in safety, productivity, forecasting and asset management
  • identify joint venture, co-development and pilot opportunities that combine data, sensing, automation, manufacturing and testing capabilities
  • recruit talent and build R&D partnerships with academics, spinouts and specialised engineering teams working at the frontier of digital transformation.
