Wodonga TAFE’s Logical Innovation Precinct will house the Advanced Manufacturing Centre of Excellence (CoE) focusing on integration of clean economy manufacturing principles.
About the initiative
Wodonga TAFE has implemented this initiative to provide the advanced manufacturing workforce with relevant clean economy skills.
Wodonga TAFE's Logical Innovation Precinct will house an Advanced Manufacturing CoE in the Albury Wodonga region, with a focus on developing skills for adopting new technologies and integrating circular economy design principles.
The Advanced Manufacturing CoE will apply circular economy principles for the introduction of technologies and design processes, including Digital Twins, Design for Disassembly, 3D Print components and parts, and Products-as-a-Service (PaaS).
Circular economy design principles need to be considered at the beginning of the design process to drive value and ensure that products, and production systems are designed, and manufactured to be reused, recycled or recovered.
Outcomes
Industry will be able to access the skills required to transition to modern manufacturing processes, whilst embedding circular economy principles into their designs.
The Advanced Manufacturing CoE is located at the Logical Innovation Precinct in Barnawartha North. Design works commenced in October 2023.
Going forward, the program aims to focus on:
- research to support waste reduction, decreased pollution, as well as extending the lifecycle of materials and consumables.
