2019 Smart Manufacturing on Production System, Quality Assurance, Process optimization, and Digital Modeling
This special issue belongs to the section "Applied Industrial Technologies".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Global manufacturing industries emphasize on Smart Manufacturing/Industry 4.0 research issues, which include: Production systems, quality assurance, process optimization, and digital modeling. The application and integration of statistical methods, computational intelligence, artificial intelligence, and control technology provide such solutions. This Special Issue invites authors to submit their high-quality papers in 2019 related to following topics:
(1) Production systems:
Production schedule, production facilities (condition sensing and monitoring, predictive maintenance, condition measurement and estimation, automatic calibration and Compensation, online adjustment, automatic control technology);
(2) Quality assurance:
Quality examination, quality estimation, quality prognosis, diagnosis, and analysis of process condition;
(3) Process optimization:
Process capability optimization, process parameter optimization, process proficiency optimization, energy usage optimization, and process stability optimization;
(4) Digital modeling:
Creating digital twin and twin model.
