Where could technology save you time, waste and money?

The answer is often closer than you think: in the data you already collect, the machines you already run and the processes your team already follows. This one-day workshop is a chance to see where technology could cut delays, rework and waste, and which options are genuinely worth your attention.

Queensland's manufacturers have built their reputation on solid, dependable operations, and there's real opportunity in building on that foundation as the sector moves forward.

Industry 4.0 and Industry 5.0 are within reach for businesses of every size, often starting with getting more value from the data you're already collecting, or understanding which technologies genuinely fit your operation.

This workshop gives you a strong, practical foundation in Industry 4.0 and Industry 5.0, so you can understand the technologies, trends, and strategic considerations driving change.

Manufacturing Skills Queensland (MSQ) is proudly continuing to support Queensland manufacturing businesses and has partnered with Skills Lab to connect the Queensland manufacturing sector with industry-driven courses.

Skills Lab (RTO Code 45486), A Tetra Tech Company, was created specifically to meet demand for high-quality learning that meets current and future industry needs.

Backed by the SAGE Group's foundations in smart systems and Industry 4.0 technology, Skills Lab enables you to develop capabilities in industrial automation, control systems, instrumentation, operational technology, data-enabled industrial digitalisation, and Industry 4.0/5.0 environments.
