The design team is the engine room for everything that goes through Integra Systems.

It's all about designing out waste, design for circularity and also innovation embedded in absolutely everything we do.

I took the AI and Machine learning course at Monash College. My experiences were great, really good teachers and a lot of new content, which was surprising.

Vision: Integra systems signage, staff member using automated systems

My role focuses around automation in the factory, so the machine learning portion was really valuable and the neural networks gave me a basic understanding.

So hopefully I'll be able to transition them towards our vision systems I could see using or other robotics inside of our factory.

Vision: Staff congregating around machine, worker handling sheet metal in factory, laser cutting metal on machine

Erika: The future of Australian manufacturing is going to be in making sure that we do things smarter and faster, and capturing that data is going to be one of the really important processes that we have to implement. And I think that the training that is offered is going to be really important for upskilling the people for the future of manufacturing.

Paul McDonald – CEO IDT Australia

IDT is a business now approaching 50 years old. More recently, we're going through a transformation. We’re one of the early adopters of medicinal cannabis. While we're doing a lot of work toward mental health, we're still passionate about our roots in cancer drug development. Digital transformation is really in the front of my mind. The need to get up to speed with digital concepts is a priority.

Vision: Close shot of assembly line and controls, staff handling product bottles

Paul: The Digital Jobs for Manufacturing initiative by the Victorian Government is very welcome by IDT.

Vision: Assembly line, bottles moving along conveyer. It gives you an opportunity to develop staff in the moving trends. Malar and co worker approaching IDT doors

Malar Armugam – Senior Program Manager IDT Australia

I did the digital marketing course at RMIT. The first one was the digital analytics and insights and the second one was the digital marketing campaign. This is a really good course You can reap a lot of benefits out of it, you get the best out of it when it's real time learning.

Vision: Malar opening door to IDK, view through doors into factory, controls of machinery in manufacturing

Paul: This opportunity allows us to identify ways to breakthrough those barriers and actually move toward industry 4.0. so you can stay ahead of your industry 4.0 needs. I would highly recommend other organisations adopting this approach

Vision: Staff taking notes, handling products, Conveyer belt with bottles moving along, team members handling bottles
