Site Visit A: Drones For Field Service Inspection 

Assets and infrastructure in hard-to-reach locations, or over large areas, are costly, difficult and often dangerous to inspect regularly. In recent years, robotics have begun to offer a better way to conduct these inspections and ensure early detection of faults and damage that may cause service interruptions or risk. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in particular have been demonstrated to halve inspection costs in some cases, while cutting weeks-long inspections to mere days – and even allowing some assets to avoid shutdowns and disruption while under inspection. Get an up-close look at how forward-looking companies maximize the potential of drones for maintenance inspections with 3D modelling for internal and external inspections.

Site Visit B: Swinburne University of Technology – Factories of the Future

Factory of the future is a new platform for businesses, on a digital transformation journey, to experience and road-test advanced manufacturing technologies and new business strategies in collaboration with Swinburne. It enables businesses to redefine value creation and capture through exploration, strategy and innovation underpinned by Industry 4.0 technologies.

Join us on this exclusive site tour to experience first-hand how through a synergy of skills, projects co-created with industries, and empowerment of students and industry 4.0 demonstrators , we are enabling businesses to industry 4.0 technology demonstrators to de-risk innovation.

The factory houses a series of co-located studios, each with a specific function:

• Advanced Inspection and Machining Studio: advanced machining capability combined with state-of-the-art inspection equipment for developing high quality components
• 3-D Visualisation and Design Studio: featuring advanced visualisation tools that allow for intuitive real-time interaction with realistic 3-D imagery
• Rapid Manufacturing Studio: equipped with advanced additive manufacturing tools that facilitate conversion from digital concepts to metal, plastic or ceramic prototypes

Space In Each Site Tour Is Limited, Registrations Will Be Available On First Come, First Reserved Basis.
