Siemens has opened a new AUS$20 million equipment service centre for the mining, energy, shipping and heavy industry sectors.
The centre, in Perth, is the third new Siemens Service Centre opened in Australia in less than two years, following the opening of similar centres in South Australia and Queensland.
According to Siemens, the centre will aid Australian operators and Western Australia to transition into the 4th Industrial Revolution (Industry 4.0) and help minimise operator downtimes on site.
Australian Mining spoke to Siemen's Head of Customer Service for Industrial Businesses, Dr Thomas Moser, about the state of the resources industry, the 4th industrial revolution, and the role of Siemen’s new facility.
