Australia’s manufacturing sector is entering an exciting chapter, driven by the adoption of AI.
A $5 billion opportunity by 2030
Generative AI is projected to contribute up to $5 billion annually to Australian manufacturing by 2030, helping to streamline operations and accelerate decision-making, a crucial aspect within the industry.
Smarter operations
Within fields such as medicine and engineering, AI is reshaping a vital aspect: workflow efficiency. Global AI insights suggest that manufacturing could capture a significant share, all of which is impacted by generative AI.
What does this mean for manufacturing professionals?
Integrating AI brings a shift in required skills. Daily tasks are automated, while roles involving critical thinking, collaboration, and creativity are in higher demand. This means that manufacturing jobs are shifting from manual roles to strategic positions, particularly in design, data, and cross-functional leadership.
