Highlights
- EarlyBirds connects manufacturers with outside digitisation innovators through its ‘award-winning’ platform
- It operates two key programs -- Explorer for long-lasting solutions, and Challenger to address specific and immediate needs
- Co-founder Kris Poria has spoken about the need for the supply chain and logistics industry to introduce digitisation for better efficiency
The manufacturing process, cutting across traditional sectors like automobiles and electronics, cannot manage to overlook new technological advancements including automation. By incorporating latest innovations in processes, a manufacturing unit can increase production and achieve cost efficiency. EarlyBirds, an Australia-based innovative firm, acts as the facilitator in realisation of these goals by connecting manufacturers with new innovators.
One key focus area of EarlyBirds is helping with timely digitisation that can make manufacturing processes easier and speedier. Automation is a disruptive force, and EarlyBirds’ programs are designed to assist manufacturers in removing the void between the workforce required to meet demand, and the available labor.
EarlyBirds’ ecosystem
The ‘award-winning’ ecosystem comprises multiple stakeholders and is powered by the underlying EarlyBirds’ platform. Solving challenges is the primary focus. Companies engaged in manufacturing can use EarlyBirds’ services to streamline their adoption of innovations in production processes. The platform consists of a repository of new and mature technologies, which can help improve operational efficiency.
In this regard, the company highlights the globally prevalent issue of supply chain bottlenecks, with cargo ships stranded at ports and delays in offloading of supplies. Amid heavy demand, it is perhaps the lack of penetration of digitisation in processes, which is hindering smooth supply of goods. EarlyBirds helps in ironing out such problems.

Wide-ranging solutions
EarlyBirds runs two key programs -- Explorer, and Challenger. The Explorer program helps in finding solutions for long-term and sustainable improvements in processes through adoption of digitisation and related innovations. The three key stakeholders -- manufacturers (also dubbed early adopters), innovators, and sector-specific consultants -- reduce the gaps between them by using EarlyBirds’ platform.
The second program, Challenger, involves resolving a specific digitisation challenge, which is troubling the manufacturing unit. Here, digitisation innovators can meet commercial and technical requirements of the company and help achieve intended objectives.
