ARC training centre to improve productivity
A NEW government-funded Australian Research Council (ARC) Industrial Transformational Training Centre will be built at Curtin University, WA that will use data science to transform asset maintenance for the Australian resources sector.
The centre, led by Curtin, will be run in partnership with the University of Western Australia, CSIRO, the University of Adelaide, and industry partners Alcoa, BHP, Roy Hill, CORE Innovation Hub and the Minerals Research Institute of WA.
ARC Training Centre for Transforming Maintenance through Data Science director Professor Andrew Rohl said maintenance practices had changed little in the last 20 years, and were due for a digital overhaul which will see new developments in computational methods, statistics, artificial intelligence and more.
