Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Smart manufacturing systems have become the main way to enhance enterprise intelligence, greenness, and sustainability. Smart, green, and sustainable design have become the focus of attention for enterprises and researchers. We invite scholars and enterprises from all walks of life to share their interests and successful cases here. Examples include the application of AI in smart manufacturing, innovation of smart manufacturing models, intelligence of smart manufacturing business, sustainable development of enterprise, and the construction route of smart manufacturing, etc.

Original research articles and reviews papers are welcome in this Special Issue. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:

  • Sustainable smart manufacturing;
  • Enterprise digital transformation
  • Smart/green/sustainable manufacturing systems
  • Smart/green/sustainable supply chain
  • Smart production system design;
  • Industrial artificial intelligence
  • Industrial intelligence networking
  • Service-oriented manufacturing
  • Self-adaptive scheduling
  • Smart lean operation
  • Productive services
  • Manufacturing service outsourcing
  • Sustainable value added
  • Sustainable development

This Special Issue aims to allow for more manufacturing industries to see the mature technologies, methods, and models currently available. By sharing with experts and scholars, more methods can be promoted and applied. In order to promote the high-quality development of the manufacturing industry, achieve digitization, intelligence, and greening, sustainability, and make the value of all stakeholders sustainable.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

In the era of the digital economy, it has become an inevitable trend for manufacturing enterprises to establish industrial Internet platforms toward achieving transformation and innovative development. However, the current development model of industrial Internet platforms is still imperfect, wherein the application scenario is complex, the investment cost is too high, the return-on-investment cycle is too long, and other factors have hindered the willingness of manufacturing enterprises to employ cloud services and capital investment. For this reason, governments have introduced a series of relevant incentive policies to promote the development of industrial Internet platforms and the transformation and upgrading of manufacturing enterprises. Considering the role of government incentives, this study first constructs an evolutionary game model with local governments, manufacturing enterprises, and industrial Internet platforms as the main players. Then, the dynamic change process of each game player’s strategy choice and the stable state of the system evolution under multiple scenarios are analyzed, and the validity of the conclusions is verified through a numerical simulation analysis. Finally, the statistical data of 28 provinces in China from 2018 to 2020 are used to conduct an empirical test to explore the impact of the industrial Internet on the transformation and innovation development of the manufacturing industry and the role of government incentives. The results show that the development of the industrial Internet has a significant role in promoting the innovation and development of the manufacturing industry; government incentives can promote the innovation and development of the industrial Internet and manufacturing industry, but incentives should not be too generous; and the impact of developing the industrial Internet on the level of innovation input/output of the manufacturing industry shows obvious regional differences. This study takes the local government as an independent game participant into consideration, which enriches the research field of combining evolutionary game theory with the transformation and innovative development of the manufacturing industry. In addition, this study provides theoretical guidance and practical references for the government to formulate incentive policies to promote the development of industrial Internet platforms and for manufacturing enterprises to utilize these platforms to carry out innovation and perform upgrades.
