To help bridge that gap, Robotics Australia Group — Australia’s peak body for robotics and automation — has partnered with HowToRobot, the world’s largest independent automation matching platform, to create AutomationFinder: a single place to identify automation opportunities and match them with vetted suppliers.
DIY your own project on the platform, or ask for expert advice.
What can we automate?
Is it feasible — and what’s the ROI?
Are we paying a fair market price?
Which supplier can we trust?
Where do we even start?
These are the right questions. AutomationFinder helps you answer them before you commit.
Work through the three validations that decide whether an automation project succeeds, all in one place, before you spend a dollar.
