Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Industry 4.0 is the fourth iteration of industrialization with cyber-physical production systems becoming a reality. It has evolved around the principles of compatibility among all devices and machines with the ability to communicate and coordinate with each other. Transparency in the technology starts from the creation of a digital copy of the product, including the collection of data and its storage methods. This transition is supported by the software and analysis mechanism, visualizes sensor data, and automatically makes a decision or helps a person with decision making. This support can also develop to completely replace humans with machines during dangerous or routine operations. The aim is to decentralize management decisions and automate various solutions by systems with minimal human involvement.
This Special Issue entitled “Computer-Integrated Manufacturing in Industry 4.0” covers all relevant areas and technologies including but not limited to the following:
- Additive technologies;
- 3D printing;
- Modeling and simulation;
- Numerical and computational methods in Industry 4.0;
- Visualization and data analytics;
- Integration of systems;
- Internet of things;
- Cyber security;
- Cloud services;
- Augmented reality and virtual reality;
- Autonomous robots;
- Robotics;
- Online planning and analysis;
- Artificial intelligence and machine learning;
- Energy-efficient technologies;
- Alternative energy;
- Big data and analytics;
- Remote maintenance.
