• Under pressure from high Australian dollar 
• Ageing workforce 
• Operating in high cost environment 
• Largely SME based 
• Remoteness and small local market 
• Skills shortage: losing capabilities to other sectors 
• Need to lift up productivity 
• Transitioning to a resource constrained future
National thought leadership in manufacturing 
The combination of forces currently putting pressure on many Australian businesses 
threatens to undermine the capacity of the (manufacturing) sector to take advantage of 
future opportunities. If manufacturers are not in a position to capitalise on emerging 
opportunities, the Australian economy as a whole will be weaker and more vulnerable now 
and over the longer term.

Bridging the Information Gap 
• Bespoke solution are not scalable. 
• Previously required installation of software on-site. 
• Too expensive for SME. 
• The cloud can provide off-load the software 
• But still have a problem with inter-connections. 
Solution 
• Objects with relationships to other objects across strata exist. 
• Management by Semantic Web 
• Deliver information flows to the supply chain to allow secure, fit for purpose, 
interoperability across various platforms and processes

“In addition to this funding, the Advanced Manufacturing and Manufacturing 
Industry Innovation CRCs are well positioned to assist the Australian 
manufacturing industry to adapt to new, high tech manufacturing processes 
and will assist in opening new markets. These applications displayed merit 
and are proposing to address issues of national importance. As such I have 
asked these CRCs to submit a combined proposal for my consideration.”
