Defence Ready ‘Smart Enough Factory’ Program

Redline Engineering is thrilled to be one of five defence industry companies selected to take part in the ‘Smart Enough Factory’ program.

The Victorian Government is supporting defence industry companies, like ours, in transforming operations by deploying digital technologies to drive value and productivity.

The program, delivered by DMTC (formerly the Defence Materials Technology Centre), promotes sovereign capabilities and supports Australian manufacturing by creating greater opportunities within defence supply chains. It takes advantage of advances in data-driven production and provides a practical entry point to Industry 4.0 technologies. As a part of the program, we will have the opportunity to modernise our administrative and manufacturing processes, so that we are able to provide the best value and service to our customers.

The program will also take on up to eight undergraduate or postgraduate interns a year from Victorian universities through a scheme administered by the Defence Science Institute (Victoria) to provide technical support, offering them valuable work experience, defence industry exposure and possible employment. In addition to this, the program offers valuable upskilling and personal development opportunities for our team.

Minister for Industry Support and Recovery, Martin Pakula, says the ‘Smart Enough Factory’ program “will help businesses to grow and transform, supporting jobs and economic growth and cement Victoria’s status as the advanced manufacturing capital of Australia”.

“We’re supporting our defence industry to become ever more responsive, adaptive and connected – ensuring we lead the way in advanced manufacturing, innovation and technology”.

Redline Engineering views defence as an important part of our business and one that we continue to upskill on through Victorian government support, engagement with the primes, as well as collaboration with fellow SMEs. As a supplier for decades in the defence sector, Redline Engineering has built a reputation as a trusted partner for the supply of precision CNC components and assemblies. We offer our clients special process and finishing services to provide a complete turnkey solution while maintaining the highest quality standards.
