CoreChart Enabling Innovation Skills Development
By eLabtronics
Electronics is a key contributor to the Australian Economy
Electronics is a significant enabler that underpins growth and innovation in virtually all industries.
For example it is estimated that 90% of all future innovation in the automobile industry will be driven by electronics, with electronics representing up to 40% of a vehicle’s production cost by 2010.
According to the Defence Department, the value of electronics in defence related activities is even higher, with electronics representing up to 80% of the production cost of a modern warship and a submarine.
Quote from the Australian Electrical Electronics Manufacturing Association AEEMA
In November 2001, the technical
experts of giant Microchip
Technology Inc flew
from Arizona, USA to meet
with a small company in the
city of Adelaide . . .
They came to see CoreChart:
A New Microchip Programming Tool
Simplifies programming of microchips
-1000s of innovative new
electronics / ICT
applications!
The CoreChart Revolution
Microcontrollers or
microchips are:
•Single-chip computers
•Driving the next phase of ICT
growth
-5-cent size web
servers!
CoreChart is paving the new way
CoreChart reduces time to market
CoreChart makes microchip programming:
•Simpler
•Faster
•Less Prone to Error
-Without compromising
performance!
Originality and Ingenuity
CoreChart is easy to use:
•It is being embedded in School curriculum
•Students are building real life industrial
controllers
- examples: Oyster counters, alarm controllers
-DOS to Windows!
User friendliness
•Automotive
•Telecommunications
•Defence
•Bio-technology
•Smart Toys
-The potential is
unlimited!
A multitude of applications
CoreChart Enables
Innovation Skills Development
CoreChart Robotic Mentoring Program forges key partnership
High level government support
CoreChart RPM Reviving Science and Mathematics interest
CoreChart RPM program produces good results
High School students feedback:
- I found the program interesting and overall satisfaction : 86%
- I enjoyed learning like this : 89%
- the University students presented the program effectively : 96%
Project Manager Associate Professor Brenton Dansie:
I think the really encouraging sign is that 50% of students agreed that the program has stimulated their interest in a career in electronics engineering! I think that this is a great result.

Striving for Excellence
The South Australian Solar Car Consortium entry “Kelly” won first place in the 2003 World Solar Challenge in the Production Class
“Kelly” is fitted with 29 eLabtronics solar maximisers programmed in CoreChart
A Holistic Approach
A Total Commitment by Stakeholders
Fully Exploit and Expand the CoreChart Robotic
Peer Mentoring program:
•To reverse the catastrophic decline of Science and
Mathematics in Australian Schools
•To create large scale Intellectual Properties IP to counter
the low cost production centres of India and China
•Program is endorsed by EIA and AEEMA
