Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Many countries, including major economies like the European Union, the United Kingdom, Japan, and South Korea, have committed to reaching net-zero emissions by 2050 or earlier. In recent years, manufacturing has rapidly developed with the continued advancement of artificial intelligence and big data techniques. By integrating these emerging technologies, manufacturing can become even smarter, resulting in numerous opportunities for enhancing sustainability and efficiency. In this Special Issue, the aim is to bring together diverse researchers into a common forum, exploring how big data, machine learning, digital twin or other new techniques could contribute to the advancement of sustainable manufacturing, thus creating a better future.
This Special Issue welcomes papers on the following themes:
- Big data, machine learning and/or digital twin-aided sustainable traditional manufacturing, additive manufacturing, hybrid manufacturing or other novel manufacturing processes.
- Sustainable additive manufacturing, hybrid manufacturing or other novel manufacturing process developments.
All types of papers are welcome.
Dr. Jingchao Jiang
