Modern Technologies and Manufacturing Systems

Dear Colleagues,

Technology today is evolving at such a rapid pace, enabling faster change and progress, causing an acceleration of the rate of change. The materials, methods and technologies recognized several years ago as new ones, today, often seem to be not efficient enough when compared to the market and industrial requirements. Accordingly, in the past several years, research on the development of modern conceptions of manufacturing systems has revolved around new concepts that are able to meet the assumptions of focused flexibility and the challenges of the Industry 4.0 philosophy. In this context, new practical and scientific results are of great interest and importance to mechanical engineering. Special attention is continuously given to the problems of new manufacturing technologies and modern conceptions of manufacturing systems that allow us to make high-quality products with a high level of effectiveness and a proper level of flexibility. Therefore, we would like to invite you to submit your research paper to the Topic “Modern Technologies and Manufacturing Systems”.

This Topic seeks high-quality works focusing on the following topics:

• Modern methods of machining;
• Metal-forming technologies;
• Joining technologies;
• Additive manufacturing technology;
• Laser machining technology;
• Industrial assembly technologies;
• Manufacturing engineering of composite materials;
• Manufacturing systems design for industrial applications;
• Paradigms of modern manufacturing system designs;
• Flexible and focused manufacturing systems;
• Reconfigurable manufacturing systems and other manufacturing concepts of the future;
• Advanced industrial engineering;
• Manufacturing system capacity balancing;
• Sustainable material-handling systems.
