OMRON Australia’s Tech Open Day

OMRON Australia’s Tech Open Day

Scaling clean tech manufacturing in Australia calls for advanced production capabilities and confidence in technology investment decisions.

As manufacturers move from pilot projects to commercial-scale production of batteries, solar components, and other equipment, key decisions around automation, inspection systems, and robotics shape their competitiveness.

The Powering Australia NSW team visited OMRON Automation and Robotics Australia’s Sydney facility to explore how local testing environments help manufacturers assess automation solutions before committing capital. Facilities like these allow businesses to trial AI-enabled vision systems, robotics, and control technologies in production-like settings, supporting informed scale-up decisions.

Connecting manufacturers to testing facilities strengthens the technical and production confidence that can help Australia’s clean-tech manufacturing sector to scale successfully and compete globally.
