Factory digitisation enables the integration of advanced technologies, like Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and automation with traditional manufacturing. It aims to improve efficiency, productivity, and decision-making by converting data into digital formats.
Digitisation has touchpoints during engineering design, sourcing, and production/service life, which enables adjustments to be made, and provides benefits throughout the manufacturing process and beyond.
Capability overview
- Dashboard and reports through the acquisition, conditioning, analysis, storage, and visualisation of data
- Aggregation and visualisation of product, operations, and process data or heuristics
- Digital threading – data centralisation of the manufacturing life cycle
- Digital twinning virtual copies of the product, environment, or process
- Intelligent IIOT implementation for process monitoring and control

Our specialised factory digitisation capabilities
Factory digitisation technologies at the AMRF focus on software applications, system layers and their communication. This includes enterprise, design and data management tools supporting business processes, operational work, product quality and associated data flows across the entire manufacturing life cycle.
The digitisation theme seeks to provide access and applied learning opportunities, system architectures, production data capture, storage and analysis solutions. Services include access to high-end design, development and engineering life cycle management tools for process and product simulation and visualisation strategies. Capabilities will also enable access to open-source data acquisition solutions supporting traditional manufacturing environments seeking early low-cost digitisation steps leveraging virtual services and compute power.
The benefits of accessing this technology theme includes:
- exploring integrated operational and product design software applications in a single software instance
- opportunity to push the boundaries of engineering software technologies
- consolidation of manufacturing data and visualisation of performance metrics
- connecting data from disparate business functions into a single source of truth
