Welcome to the Living Lab Documentation¶

The Living Lab @UWA is a team of engineers equipped to help innovators test and prepare products for trial to resources company customers.

In 2018, METS Ignited, the Australian Industry Growth Centre for Mining Equipment, Technology and Services, issued a call for interest to develop real or near real-world testing environments to form a network of “Living Labs” across Australia. Supported by METS Ignited, BHP Fellowship, UWA and CORE Innovation Hub, the Living Lab @UWA is the first of these.

The Living Lab is run by engineers, coders and project managers from UWA System Health Lab (SHL), CORE Innovation Hub and UWA Facilities Management.

We accelerate your path to market for IoT-related products by providing Accelerated Life Testing and a real-life trials. We design, build and execute bespoke testing equipment and tests to try and fail your products by generating realistic failure modes in an accelerated time scale. We have procedures and legal agreement templates to enable testing and can help you deploy them.
