Our newest division brings artificial intelligence and industrial automation to the factory floor. We are building capability in AI-driven quality systems, predictive maintenance, robotic process integration, and smart factory solutions.
Australian manufacturing is at an inflection point. Labour costs are rising, skill shortages are deepening, and global competition demands higher quality at lower cost. AI and automation are not optional — they are the next generation of manufacturing capability. Maxwell & Higgs is investing in this future because we believe Australian manufacturers deserve Australian-built automation solutions.
“We are not importing automation. We are building it — from the same facility, with the same engineering discipline, that has served Australian industry for nearly two decades.”
— Maxwell & Higgs Leadership
Robotic cell design, integration, and commissioning for manufacturing environments. Welding, material handling, pick-and-place, and assembly automation.
Computer vision and machine learning for real-time quality inspection. Defect detection, dimensional verification, and surface analysis.
IoT sensor integration and AI analytics to predict equipment failures before they happen. Reduce unplanned downtime and extend asset life.
Virtual replicas of physical manufacturing processes for testing, optimisation, and training without disrupting production.
Data-driven analysis of manufacturing workflows to eliminate waste, reduce cycle times, and improve throughput.
MES, IoT, and ERP integration to create connected manufacturing environments with real-time visibility and control.
Most automation providers are technology companies that don’t understand manufacturing. We are manufacturers first. Our AI & Automation division is built on nearly two decades of real-world fabrication, machining, and assembly experience. We know what breaks, what slows down, and where the real waste hides — because we live it every day.
We automate our own facility first, then bring proven solutions to you.
No theoretical models — our AI solutions are trained on real manufacturing data.
From mechanical design to software to installation, all under one roof.
All automation solutions are developed and owned in Australia.
We audit your manufacturing process, identify automation opportunities, and quantify the ROI. No obligation, no sales pitch — just an honest assessment of where automation can deliver value.
Our engineers design the automation solution, build the hardware, develop the software, and test in-house at our Moorabbin facility before it touches your production floor.
We install, commission, train your team, and provide ongoing support and optimisation. Our job is not done until the automation is delivering the results we promised.
Whether you’re exploring your first robotic cell or looking to integrate AI across your production line — our team can help you assess the opportunity.
