In a climate of pessimism for Australian manufacturing, one of the good news stories is the thriving position of local machine builders.
"Once the domain of the Germans and the Italians, and more recently China, Australians are gaining an international reputation for building machines that not only address contemporary concerns of safety and business system integration, but provide the design and operational flexibility not always evident out of European manufacturers," says Eugene Mayevsky, Sales Manager, Daanet (pictured above).
The innovation displayed in this new dawn of Australian manufacturing is much like the approach taken by Austrian company B&R Automation in their quest to differentiate themselves from larger and better known automation companies in Europe.
By sponsoring the Machine Builder category of the PACE Zenith Awards, B&R Automation hopes to identify with all automation users looking for an alternative approach to both traditional and new problems.
With products like HMIs with embedded control and I/O, Automation PCs with a built-in UPS, and application development software that fully integrates with 3rd party design tools like MathWorks MatLab, B&R Automation has something special to offer: Innovation.
