Manufacturers’ Monthly meets with RSM’s financial services team to explore how manufacturers can navigate the often-stressful task of selling a business, and what is easily missed when owners start to map out a succession plan. Australia’s manufacturing ecosystem is largely made up of small to medium enterprises (SMEs), most of which started with little resourcing and have grown through the trials and tribulations of economic, supply and labour challenges.

Manufacturing companies and machine builder OEMs have been digitalizing their automation designs for decades. But in recent years, the iterative process of identifying and solving problems using data and technology to support the work of people has been termed digital transformation, which encompasses many aspects, from the plant floor up to the cloud.

Matthew Moynihan is nothing if not a realist. He knows that the technology he champions suffers from what public relations people call reputational issues. And that’s because for several decades nuclear fusion has at best been saddled with the qualifying term ‘tomorrow’s’, while at worst, it’s a fringe distraction often written about in green ink and block capitals.

In order to develop a conservation plan for a species, scientists need to know how many animals there are, where they are, and how they use the environment. The same data is needed when human changes to an environment take place so that the impact can first be anticipated, and then can be mitigated from the outset. The introduction of offshore wind farms or the conversion of rainforest habitat to palm oil production can have major impacts on the animals that live there.

Visit any police website across the UK and you will be met with rows of faces – each one belonging to the victim of a crime that has yet to be solved. As of March 2022, the last full year for which we have statistics, only 5.6 per cent of crimes in the UK secured a conviction. At the same time, Home Office figures show sex offences hit a record high, homicides were up 25 per cent, and 2.4 million cases were closed due to “evidential difficulties”, without police ever identifying a suspect.

Not too long ago tooling options for Swiss-type turning centers were fairly limited. With so much to pack into a small space there was little room for indexable tooling, and quick-change systems were largely proprietary to a machine, if available at all. Lack of tooling flexibility and lengthy tool setup or replacement times limited the throughput of this very productive equipment.

Start-ups & SMBs launching products quickly must bundle dashboards, reports, & self-service analytics into apps. Customers expect rapid value from your product (time-to-value), data security, and access to advanced capabilities. Traditional Business Intelligence (BI) tools can provide valuable data analysis capabilities, but they have a barrier to entry that can stop small and midsize businesses from capitalizing on them.

Metalworking activity contracted faster in June, closing at 45.4 — down three points from May’s 48.3. With key components contracting for several months straight, some coming up on a year now, it is surprising that overall metalworking activity did not dip earlier and more dramatically. It is now at its lowest point in three years. Components that contracted did so faster in June, including new orders, backlog and production, landing on low values last seen at the start of 2023.
