In this special episode, produced in partnership with CeMAT Australia 2025 and the Industrial Transformation Conference, we welcome back automation and digital transformation expert John Broadbent for a clear-eyed look at the current state of Australian manufacturing.
We unpack why so many businesses are still stuck at Industry 3.0, what’s holding them back, and what it really takes to start building smarter, more connected operations. John shares lessons from decades in the field, along with success stories from companies that have embraced automation and seen real results.
We also dive into leadership, data readiness, continuous improvement, and why the conversation needs to shift from shiny tech to long-term strategy. If you're serious about manufacturing transformation, this episode is full of practical insight.
🎙️ Catch John and MTA at CeMAT Australia 2025 in Sydney this July.
