Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In a world where digitalization and automation continue to advance, we are witnessing a revolutionary transformation of production technology. The interconnectivity of production in combination with the use of suitable applications takes production to new levels of efficiency, flexibility and intelligence.
Focus is currently on intelligent machines, which gain new capabilities through the integration of sensors, actuators and applications. Brownfield facilities can also be integrated into modern production environments via retrofitting by upgrading them with intelligent components. However, intelligence is no longer limited to individual machines. Comprehensive networking enables entirely new production concepts that are characterized by high flexibility and adaptability.
Despite significant progress in the field of intelligent machines and manufacturing technologies, numerous further innovations are needed to prepare production technology for an increasingly dynamic environment.
In this Special Issue, we therefore call on researchers, engineers and experts to share the latest advancements in intelligent machine tools and manufacturing technology. We welcome contributions related to innovative applications, intelligent machines and components, adaptive production concepts and approaches for optimizing manufacturing technologies.
Prof. Dr. Jürgen Fleischer
