AFI July Presentation - Automation in Foundries

Since the Federal election in May, there has been a strong focus from the government and the media on the need to boost national economic productivity. Growth of productivity over the past decade was the lowest in 60 years.
So what can we in the metal casting industry do to boost productivity ? We often hear the phrase "to work smarter, not harder" but what does this mean in practice ?
Part of the solution may be found in the upcoming presentation from Frederick Kolak and Vikas Markanday - Automation in Foundries.
