Bosch BAMS helps startups and SMEs take ideas from prototype to scalable production — here's how robotics, digital twins, and design-for-manufacture make it happen. 

In this episode, Brad Trewin, Innovation Lead at Bosch Australia Manufacturing Solutions (BAMS), walks through how Bosch is empowering Australian startups and SMEs to scale manufacturing capability. We cover: 

• How BAMS has helped companies like RayGen (solar arrays) and 3RT (sustainable wood products) scale production 
• Why early collaboration between designers and manufacturers unlocks cost efficiency and innovation 
• The role of digital twins, AI, and augmented reality in optimising production for startups 
• Design-for-manufacture principles that prevent costly rework and redesign during scale-up 
• How scalable automation can be introduced progressively without disrupting existing operations 

Whether you're a startup founder, product developer, or operations leader, this episode gives you a practical view of how to bridge the gap between idea and industrial-scale production.
