Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Humans are responsible for protecting the environment, and creating a new economic model of sustainable development is our shared goal. Manufacturing accounts for one third of the global energy consumption, and the COVID-19 pandemic highlighted its important role of improving the quality of our lives. Therefore, manufacturers need to use an intelligent approach in product design, manufacture, and delivery in the supply chain to achieve sustainability. Although many researchers in academia and industry have conducted long-term research on intelligent manufacturing and achieved impressive feats, small- and medium-sized enterprises encounter problems with sustainable development such as labor shortages and an inability to sustain unmanned practices. With uncertainty in the economy, enterprises have higher requirements for the sustainability of intelligent manufacturing.
It is worth pointing out that no single solution can be adapted to all manufacturing industries. In the process of improving the sustainable performance of intelligent manufacturing, each manufacturing system has become unique. Even large manufacturers have dissimilar experiences between similar production lines in different factories, . Each case needs to be customized according to the characteristics of the factory and the knowledge base. The objective of this Special Issue is to gather state-of-the-art research on the recent advances in the field of sustainable science and technologies in intelligent manufacturing.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but not limited to) the following:
(1) Sustainable development mode of intelligent manufacturing;
(2) Unmanned condition monitoring with equipment;
(3) Intelligent fault diagnosis;
(4) Sustainable intelligent operation and maintenance;
(5) Sustainable education in intelligent manufacturing;
(6) AI-enhanced sustainable development modes in intelligent manufacturing;
(7) Sustainable development case in intelligent manufacturing;
(8) Advanced quality management methods in intelligent manufacturing.
I look forward to receiving your contributions.
