New Directions in Innovation from ROV Work Experience
BlueZone Group has hosted another successful Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) work experience event at the ATSA facility at Newcastle, NSW.
The work experience students begin with basic plans for construction of a low-cost ROV and then are supervised and mentored by ATSA workshop staff to bring their invention to life. Elizabeth Karpiel, GM Operations commented that the level of innovation in each iteration of the work experience event was encouraging and inspiring. “Students are now able to incorporate technologies like LED lighting”, said Elizabeth, “As electronics technology rapidly changes the opportunities for faster prototyping and development can be seen even in our one week event”.
“The changes that we see in our ROV work experience event are a part of the rapid pace of change of technology-based smart manufacturing industries as a whole”, said Darren Burrowes, Chief Technology Officer. “It is refreshing an inspiring to have contact with young minds to challenge the way that our company thinks and to point out new directions for innovation”.
