Intelligent Engineering And Management For Industry 40

Industry 4.0 is changing how we manage operations to drive systems more intelligently. Technologies and applications are rapidly evolving. Disruptive technologies, such as artificial intelligence, big data, cloud computing and digital twin, are shaking up different industries and have motivated us to revisit engineering and management tools for improving system design, efficiency, effectiveness, reliability, and responsiveness. While these emerging technologies have powered new applications, novel industrial engineering methodologies are required to achieve the goals. Industrial Engineering was sprouted from major engineering disciplines that called for better professional understanding of industrialization. Ever since, the discipline of Industrial Engineering has been the star role player in confronting emerging industries; be it manufacturing, service, high tech products, outer space technology, information technology, industrial policy, ergonomics, and now the world’s greatest concern, sustainable development. This book presents the state-of-the-art in industrial engineering research from different countries and cities around the globe. The book covers a wide range of topics in industrial engineering, including: Demand Chain Management, E-business / Information Technology, Evolutionary Algorithm, Green Manufacturing/Management, Health Care Systems and more.

Engineering plays a major role in solving real-world problems, from small inconveniences to societal or global concerns around food scarcity, water shortages, environmental damage, problems in housing or infrastructure and more. In today's rapidly evolving world, the development of the latest generation of engineering and technology is crucial for maintaining productivity, innovation, and improving our overall quality of life. Intelligent Engineering Applications and Applied Sciences for Sustainability is an essential research book that serves as a compilation of cutting-edge research and advancements in engineering, science, and technology, and more importantly, how the application of these advancements will guide the path to a more sustainable future. This book focuses on intelligent engineering applications, which encompass the design and implementation of embedded technologies in various domains. It covers a wide range of fields and their influence on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), fostering interdisciplinary approaches and innovative solutions, including additive manufacturing technologies, aerospace science and engineering, agricultural advancements, computer science for sustainable development, applied biosciences, applied mathematics, industrial engineering, robotics and automation, transportation, future mobility, and much more. As an academic, rigorous exploration of various disciplines, this book serves as an invaluable resource for researchers, scholars, and professionals seeking to advance the frontiers of intelligent engineering applications and applied sciences for a sustainable future.

The book presents a collection of 103 peer-reviewed articles from the Second International Conference on Intelligent Systems in Production Engineering and Maintenance (ISPEM 2018). The conference was organized by the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and CAMT (Centre for Advanced Manufacturing Technologies), Wrocław University of Science and Technology and was held in Wrocław (Poland) on 17–18 September 2018. The conferences topics included the possibility of using a wide range of intelligent methods in production engineering, presenting and discussing new solutions for innovative plants, research findings and case studies demonstrating advances in production and maintenance from the point of view of Industry 4.0 – particularly applications of intelligent systems, methods and tools in production engineering, maintenance, logistics, quality management, information systems and product development. The book is divided into two parts: the first includes papers related to intelligent systems in production engineering, while the second is dedicated to special sessions focusing on: 1. Computer Aided methods in Production Engineering 2. Mining 4.0 and Intelligent Mining Transportation 3. Modelling and Simulation of Production Processes 4. Multi-Faceted Modelling of Networks and Processes 5. Product Design and Product Manufacturing in Industry 4.0 This book is an excellent source of information for scientists in the field of manufacturing engineering and for top managers in production enterprises.

Intelligent engineering systems try to replicate fundamental abilities of humans and nature in order to achieve sufficient progress in solving complex problems. In an ideal case multi-disciplinary applications of different modern engineering fields can result in synergistic effects. Information technology and computer modeling are the underlying tools that play a major role at any stages of developing intelligent systems. Chapters in the present volume have been written by eminent scientists from different parts of the world, dealing with challenging problems for efficient modeling of intelligent systems. The reader can find different characteristics and methodologies of computational intelligence with real life applications. Various facets of intelligent engineering and information technology are addressed. Starting with theoretical issues from pseudo-analysis to parametric classes of digital fuzzy conjunctions for hardware implementation of fuzzy systems, diverse aspects of control including quantum as well as fuzzy control and hybrid approaches, intelligent robotics dealing with mobile and autonomous robots and new trends, approaches and results on information technology, machines, materials and manufacturing, and issues of intelligent systems and complex processes are covered.

Industry 4.0 is a challenge for today’s businesses. It’s a concept that encompasses the technological innovations of automation, control, and information technology, as it’s applied to manufacturing processes. It’s a new topic that recently emerged in academia and industry, with few books that target both management and engineering. This book will cover the new advances and the way to manage competitive organizations. The chapters will include terms of theory, evidence, and/or methodology, and significantly advance social scientific research.
