The UWA Industry 4.0 Energy and Minerals Digital Interoperability Testlab (ERDi): Regional Interest
In a recent interview with Tara de Landgrafft, ABC Rural and Resources reporter, Professor Eric May explained that organisations in or servicing the mining, oil and gas industry would be able to test and develop digital technologies in a new Industry 4.0 Testlab to be built in Perth in the coming months. He said the Testlab would be involved in automation, robotics, and sensor technology validation; an important future requirement for organisations seeking to remain relevant to the resources sector.
