The Bradfield Development Authority has entered into a new partnership with Leading Japanese Automation company OMRON to promote manufacturing innovation across western Sydney.
Under the agreement, the Bradfield Development Authority ‘s Advanced Manufacturing Readiness Facility (AMRF) will work with OMRON’s global network of Proof-of-Concept Centres to boost technology exchange and make productivity improvements throughout western Sydney’s manufacturing sector.
The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was officially signed at Bradfield City Centre last week and marks a major milestone for Australia’s first city in 100 years.
Deputy Premier and Minister for Western Sydney Prue Car welcomed the partnership.
“Western Sydney is already a powerhouse of economic growth, and partnerships are critical in accelerating the region’s transformation into a hub for advanced manufacturing,” Car said.
“Our continued focus on the growth and development of Bradfield means more high-quality, highly skilled jobs for western Sydney residents, in their own backyard.”
OMRON is a global leader in industrial automation with a strong track record of supporting manufacturing innovation through robotics, AI and machine learning.
Managing Director of OMRON Australia Henry Zhou said OMRON looks forward to helping advance western Sydney manufacturing.
“We are thrilled to collaborate with the Bradfield Development Authority to advance western Sydney’s emerging advanced manufacturing sector,” Zhou said.
