Sustainability and Emerging Technologies for Smart Manufacturing

The manufacturing industry is undergoing a digital transformation, with increasing digitization of manufacturing and connected processes, and the emergence of Industry 4.0. This has led to the need for smarter and more sustainable manufacturing systems, which can enable mass personalization while maintaining efficiency and sustainability. As a result, there is a growing interest in exploring the ways in which emerging technologies can be leveraged to create such systems, as well as in the role of eco-design and innovation in creating sustainable manufacturing processes.

As we move towards an increasingly interconnected and digital world, the manufacturing industry is undergoing a major transformation. Industry 4.0, the fourth industrial revolution, is characterized by the integration of physical and digital systems, the use of smart technologies to automate processes and increase efficiency, and the emergence of new business models based on mass customization and personalization. However, this transformation also brings new challenges, particularly with regards to sustainability. As the manufacturing industry continues to grow, there is a growing need to ensure that this growth is sustainable and does not come at the expense of the environment or society. This requires new approaches to design, innovation, and manufacturing, which take into account the environmental, social, and economic impacts of the products and processes involved.

The 4th International Conference on Sustainability and Emerging Technologies for Smart Manufacturing (SETSM 2027) is an open international platform for scientists, researchers, experts, decision makers, practitioners and students from all over the world to share latest research results, exchange innovative ideas and cutting-edge practices in fields related to Advanced mechanical engineering, Smart manufacturing, Sustainable and Intelligent mechanical systems with emerging technologies for Industry 4.0. This conference provides an opportunity for participants to expand professional connections and network, build international partnerships and promote the industrialization of academic achievement.
