The innovation hub is designed to help mining and energy
companies address the challenges and opportunities of
digitalization. These include improving sustainability,
cybersecurity, health, safety and productivity of workers, and the
performance of machines.
To this end, the facility brings together service design,
advanced digital technologies, data science and industry knowledge
under one roof. Clients can explore technology innovations
including cloud computing, artificial intelligence, the internet of
things, virtual and augmented reality, quantum computing,
blockchain and drones.
The innovation hub expands Accenture’s global network of
Industry X.0 innovation centers. Industry X.0 is Accenture’s
approach to using digital technologies to improve how companies
engineer and manufacture products and services and operate
industrial facilities.
The Perth location is the latest Accenture innovation hub in
Australia, joining others in Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra. These
locations are also connected to more than 100 Accenture innovation
hubs and centers around the globe, bringing the best of Accenture’s
capabilities, experience and thinking to clients in Australia.
“The new hub delivers innovation to our clients’ doorsteps here
in Australia,” said Bob Easton, chairman of Accenture in Australia
and New Zealand. “We invest locally and leverage Accenture’s global
capabilities to develop innovation that puts Australia on a world
stage.”
One example is Accenture’s new Mobile Innovation Studio, due to
launch in 2020. The mobile studio enables clients to develop and
test new products, services, and strategies on their operational
processes from any location, as Accenture can ship the portable
studio space to remote mining and energy sites across
Australia.
“With this new innovation hub, we are helping raise the
innovation profile of Western Australia and Australia overall,”
said Ann Burns, who leads Accenture’s Resources sector in Australia
and New Zealand. “We believe that the Western Australian energy and
mining sectors can become world leaders in digitalization. Crucial
to this is a focus on what we refer to as ‘triple zero’: ideas,
design and technologies that help achieve zero harm to workers and
machines, zero loss across the value chain, and zero waste for
sustainability.”
Jean-Marc Ollagnier, group chief executive of Accenture
Resources, said, “The energy transition, circular economy, and
sustainability provide opportunities to change business models,
improve operations, and attract and retain talent. At the
innovation hub, we will help clients apply digital technologies to
create value across their enterprises.”
Located at the Exchange Tower, 2 The Esplanade, the innovation
hub has been designed to host sessions that go from developing an
idea to building a prototype and planning how to deploy the full
solution. It includes a Liquid Studio, where clients can rapidly
develop prototypes; a new design studio from Fjord, Accenture
Interactive’s design and innovation consultancy; and a MakerLab
space for 3D printing.
The space’s visual identity represents materials, colors and
values of Western Australia, for example, work by Indigenous
artists, The Molony Brothers. Accenture commissioned them to create
several pieces of art that were inspired by the land and celebrates
the local flora and fauna. The juxtaposition of creative design and
digital technology is designed to inspire new thinking and fresh
ideas.
