We believe we have embraced digital technology by introducing the use of mixed reality (virtual/augmented reality) into the steel manufacturing and installation process, as well as improving upon our existing processes through the commissioning of our second line of automated robotics, which links all three of our machines into a single line – to our knowledge a first in Australia!
