In this episode of @AuManufacturing Conversations, John Broadbent tells us about the worrying prevalence of fully-depreciated equipment in Australia's industry, explains why a smart factory he helped build in 2011 has only become more productive in the years since, and more.

@AuManufacturing is a media partner for Industrial Transformation Australia 2025, which Broadbent will be a speaker at. You can find more information about this free event – to be held July 22-24 at The Dome, Sydney Olympic Park – at here.
