Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Advanced manufacturing technology in the era of Industry 4.0 relies on breakthrough technologies such as the Internet of Things, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and robotics, and integrates mechanical engineering, electronic technology, automation technology, and information technology to create an "intelligent factory" with high flexibility and resource utilization. Using artificial intelligence algorithms and combining production processes and systems to achieve intelligent production ultimately improves the product quality and efficiency and reduces production costs.
The purpose of this Special Issue is to collect and promote the latest research results related to Industry 4.0 and advanced manufacturing technology, with a focus on intelligent manufacturing technology throughout the entire process of product design, processing, and assembly. The focus is on advanced methods, theories, and application cases that combine mechanical manufacturing technology, computer science, information technology, artificial intelligence, control technology, and production processes. We are launching this Special Issue with the aim of seeking original articles from scientific and technological perspectives to further enhance the capabilities of advanced manufacturing technology, while also playing a critical role in educating students and young researchers.
