In the fourth profile in our campaign to identify and celebrate Australia’s 50 Most Innovative Manufacturers, we look at packaging machinery manufacturer Packserv Australia. Peter Roberts spoke to Managing Director Nathan Wardell.

Wardell founded Packserv in 2007 with its first machines refining and improving on fillers, cappers, conveyors and tables suited to FMCG, Food & Beverage, Pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics sectors.

He said: “To me innovation is to build something new, to create something that didn’t exist before.

“We spend a lot of time refining and redesigning (machinery) to come up with something new.”

25/11/2024

In the first profile as part of our Australia’s 50 Most Innovative Manufacturers campaign, we look at a fabless semiconductor business that is borrowing from nature to build event-based vision sensors.

In the accompanying podcast we are joined by Jonathon Wolfe, from Optera Solutions, and Don Wright, Executive Director, Enterprise at Western Sydney University. Wolfe tells us about the benefits of neuromorphic engineering and where they might be commercially useful, why the way dragonflies catch mosquitoes is so impressive, and why it’s his duty to wash bottles as a founder/CEO.

Episode guide

1:12 – An introduction to Wolfe and his company, Optera, which was spun out of Western Sydney University’s International Centre for Neuromorphic Systems (ICNS).

3:25 – introduction to Wright and his work as WSU’s Executive Director, Enterprise.

5:48 – A career migrating technology from university to the commercial world. “I’m on my seventh spinout from five different universities.”

6:48 – Spatial hearing for hearing aids, Wolfe’s first spinout. Then efforts including cow pregnancy detection and fault-finding in solar panel production.

10:20 – What Optera does and the issues it is addressing: increasingly congested and contested environments in space, a growing and high-value market.

12:02 – The upcoming Factory of the Future at WSU’s Bankstown campus – opening in February – and its focus.

15:22 – Manufacturing businesses in Bankstown. “It’s a really broad range.”

16:42 – Neuromorphic sensors operate much more like an eye than a camera. Here’s how, and how they could be applied in a showcase at the FotF.

19:43 – Further explanation on how a neuromorphic retina works.

24:00 – The “scary amount” of power being consumed by data centres for processing and storage and why this is relevant for neuromorphic-style computing.

24:50 – At SMEs, historically in a lot of companies innovation is driven by one leader. This needs to change, and it is beginning to.

27:30 – Founders should display both resilience and curiosity.

28:47 – “Don’t tell me why it’s so good. Tell me five reasons why it won’t work.”

30:00 – Flexibility also needs to come with tenacity for startup founders and their teams.

31:30 – Why a startup founder also needs to be a bottlewasher if it’s needed.

32:15 – Why it can get difficult for established SMEs in adapting with the times, for example to incorporate digital twinning and/or evolve their business model.

34:55 – The semiconductor value chain in Australia and the lack of understanding and linkages when it comes to this.

35:55 – The difficulties attached to relying on using overseas chip fabrication and packaging if you’re an Australian startup.

37:20 – The recent cancellation of the JP9102 contract and the sovereign risk implications.
