AMTIL have recently been successful in seeking funding from our industry members and the Commonwealth government – AusIndustry for the LYNX Project. This significant project will provide a considerable impact on our advanced manufacturers.
The LYNX project will connect individual manufacturing industry members to the latest, world-leading manufacturing technologies, methodologies and techniques (TMTs) to encourage the early adoption of these innovations. While manufacturers may have already implemented one or more of these TMTs individually, this project will demonstrate that implementing and mastering TMTs in all aspects of manufacturing has compounded benefits.
The LYNX Project has a range of defined objectives, which will be achieved through the demonstration and promotion of early adoption in leading edge technologies, methodologies and techniques (TMTs) for the precision engineering and advanced manufacturing industries. AMTIL aims to achieve this through a range of activities briefly defined below:
Webinars - Online, (and in real-time) demonstrations of TMTs already in place in various organisations around the world.
Factory of the Future - Physical assembly of leading TMTs to create what a factory of the future may incorporate to demonstrate at Australia's leading manufacturing trade fair.
TMT Satellite Demonstrations - Dismantling the Factory of the Future and distributing the various physical and business process TMTs to various locations around the country.
TMT Satellite Workshops - workshops to assist in the dissemination of the theory behind the satellite demonstrations.
Factory Blitz - Utilising various TMTs, a number of organisations will undergo a "makeover". Members of industry will be invited to visit the site to observe the implementation of these innovations
Case Studies - Dissemination of information gained through the activities above will be published in AMTIL's magazine and on AMTIL's website.
All members are encouraged to take an interest as this will certainly provide benefit to those that are involved and the greater advanced manufacturing community.
