Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
A new technological era, called Industry 4.0, will change all manufacturing-related fields. Industrial and production processes will be transformed into intelligent factory systems. Production will be controlled autonomously and dynamically with a high degree of automation. Smart systems are replacing human-made decisions. One of the keystones of this transition is the digitalization of manufacturing.
The objectives of this Special Issue are to provide a snapshot of the status, potential, challenges, and recent developments of digital manufacturing and machining innovation and to open a discussion concerning new ideas in this area.
Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- New processes or practices in the field of machining processes;
- The implementation of digital twins for manufacturing;
- Industry 4.0;
- The Internet of Things in manufacturing;
- The use of artificial intelligence for industrial applications;
- Case studies related to the digital transformation of manufacturing processes;
- The role of machine vision in manufacturing.
We invite researchers to contribute original research articles as well as review articles that will further stimulate the continuing efforts to improve the current investigations within this field.
Prof. Dr. Simon Klančnik
Guest Editor
