Industry 4.0 describes the trend towards automation and data exchange in manufacturing technologies and processes which include cyber-physical systems (CPS), the internet of things (IoT), industrial internet of things (IIOT), cloud computing, cognitive computing and artificial intelligence.

Industry 4.0 technologies are being increasingly used by international manufacturers and are providing significant competitive advantages. New Zealand firms risk being left behind competitively if they fail to adapt, which would mean a loss of domestic manufacturing and interlinked service industries, reduced high-value employment, reduced exports, and increased imports.

Uptake in New Zealand across SME's and large organisations has been slow for a variety of reasons including a small, isolated domestic market and lack of information. Manufacturers learn best from their peers and in real work settings.

This opportunity is to present Industry 4.0 concepts to manufacturers in a way that is relatable and practical, so they can see a clear path to incorporating these technologies and realising the benefits they provide. This will be the role of the Industry 4.0 Demonstration Network.

What we need:
Callaghan Innovation's goal is to future proof New Zealand's manufacturing sector by driving Industry 4.0 uptake and requisite skills development.
To achieve this high value stratetic objective, Callaghan Innovation will be tendering for a delivery partner to develop an Industry 4.0 Demonstration Network, which will consist of:
- a mobile Industry 4.0 showcase;
- a network of Industry 4.0 site visits; and
- Smart Factory’ tours, with up to 2 factories demonstrating deeper Industry 4.0 engagement.
This is a high profile and well-funded opportunity to deliver all three of the above elements. Respondents can provide proposals to complete all three or just some of the above elements depending on their suitability and preferences.

Interested?
The RFP will be released shortly. If you are interested in this exciting opportunity, please download the attached document for further information and watch for the RFP which is due to be released mid to late September.
