Robotics Australia Group and HowToRobot Collaborate to Launch National Automation Platform

Robotics Australia Group has partnered with HowToRobot to introduce a national automation platform aimed at enhancing automation adoption in Australian industries. This collaboration provides manufacturers with an AI-driven system to effectively plan, validate, and source automation solutions, addressing the uncertainties that have previously hindered investment in robotics technology.

The initiative, accessible through AutomationFinder.com.au, offers Australian businesses a structured approach to identify investment opportunities in automation. It features a global network of over 20,000 vetted suppliers, including 500 based in Australia, enabling companies to validate feasibility, costs, and solution concepts efficiently.

Looking ahead, the partnership is set to play a crucial role in transforming Australia's automation landscape. As Paul Mason, CEO of Robotics Australia Group, noted, the platform aims to eliminate barriers to automation investment, providing the necessary expertise and clarity for manufacturers to embrace new robotics technologies. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.

Editor's Note

The collaboration between Robotics Australia Group and HowToRobot signifies a pivotal step in the Australian automation landscape. By providing a structured platform for manufacturers, this initiative addresses critical barriers to technology adoption, potentially reshaping procurement strategies and investment decisions in the industry.
