Transcript

[Music plays and a split circle appears and photographs of various CSIRO activities flash through on either side of the circle, and then the circle morphs into the CSIRO logo]

 

[Animation image appears of an aeroplane landing at an airport on a construction site]

 

Narrator: Today, industry and infrastructure is expanding further and faster than ever.

 

[Animation image appears of an exclamation mark symbol in a triangle above the construction site]

 

But when something breaks everything grinds to a halt and that’s a big problem.

 

[Camera zooms in on an animation of a worker working on a loader, and then the animation image changes to show dollar, downwards arrow, and bin symbols, within circles and text appears beneath: Costs, Productivity, Waste]

 

There’s just not enough skilled labour to do the repairs which causes costly delays, productivity decline and unnecessary waste.

 

[Animation image changes to show a question mark symbol inside a triangle]

 

So, what’s the solution?

 

[Animation image changes to show two robotic machines either side of text: Continuous 3D]

 

Robots, Continuous 3D automates the repair of metal components

 

[Animation image changes to show a robotic machine repairing a loader]

 

by enabling robots to perform a variety of complex 3D tasks.

 

[Animation image changes to show a robotic machine working on repairs]

 

The patented software allows robots to make sense of the environment around them and work autonomously based on the data they collect all without any user programming.

 

[Animation image changes to show a ticking clock]

 

Robots can be sent into the field within minutes to perform repairs.

 

[Animation image changes to show many robotic machines working on repairs, and then the camera zooms out and a symbol of a worker appears above linked by lines to the robotic machines]

 

Then eventually fleets of robots will work together on large projects, leaving humans to focus on planning, monitoring and supervision,

 

[Animation image changes to show symbols of a clock, a dollar symbol and a heart symbol, and text appears below: Time, Money, Lives]

 

saving time, money and lives.

Continuous 3D, building the future while keeping humans out of harm’s way.
