The Advanced Robotics for Manufacturing (ARM) Hub marked its third birthday on Tuesday with a celebration event at its Northgate precinct.

The ARM Hub is a not-for-profit digital transformation company with advanced robotics, AI and design for manufacture capability, delivered in partnership with the Palaszczuk Government, Queensland Universities, Urban Art Projects and other organisations.

Since opening in 2020, the ARM Hub has collaborated with more than 60 Queensland businesses from across the state to integrate Industry 4.0 and 5.0 technologies into their operations, including supporting one start-up business that sent parts into outer space for testing with NASA.

The celebration will honour the achievements of Queensland manufacturers and mark the official unveiling of the ARM Hub’s updated premises, including new office and workshop spaces fitted out by Queensland-based Indigenous furniture, fit-out and stationery company, Nulla Office Supplies.

Quotes attributable to Manufacturing Minister Glenn Butcher:

“The ARM Hub plays a key role in delivering the priorities of the Palaszczuk Government’s Advanced Manufacturing 10-Year Roadmap and Action Plan.

“In just three short years there have been so many success stories, thanks to the Palaszczuk Government-funded ARM Hub.

“It was only recently that the Valiant Space team – who got their start at the ARM Hub – sent a locally designed and built component into space.”

Quotes attributable to Nudgee MP Leanne Linard:

“I have been to the ARM Hub on numerous occasions and have seen first-hand the power of local manufacturers collaborating with the Hub to bring their innovations to market.

“To have a one-stop-shop like this, right here on Brisbane’s northside, is a real asset for Queensland’s advanced manufacturing sector.

“I’m looking forward to seeing what other advanced robotic and manufacturing minds create thanks to the support of the Palaszczuk Government.

“I will continue to encourage my local manufacturers to engage with the Hub so they too can benefit from the collaboration it encourages.”

Quotes attributable to ARM Hub CEO Cori Stewart:

“For Queensland, the ARM Hub means jobs and investment. The ARM hub has created 187 jobs, attracted 26 international and interstate companies to invest in Queensland projects, and six international or interstate businesses to set up operations right here in Queensland.

“When the ARM Hub started, we had a goal of delivering $47 million of projects over our first four years of operations. We’ve delivered $54 million over two and half years, with many more projects in our forward pipeline.

“The new facilities will allow the ARM Hub to collaborate more with industry and accommodate our growing team of experts who require access to the makerspace and collaborative spaces to do their work.”
