Smart manufacturing is a broad category of manufacturing that employs computer-integrated manufacturing, high levels of adaptability and rapid design changes, digital information technology, and more flexible technical workforce training. Smart manufacturing is a powerful disruptive force with the potential to restructure the current competitive landscape and produce a new set of market leaders. Companies that are slow to adopt new technologies and processes could be left behind. It is a combination of various technologies and solutions which collectively if implemented in a manufacturing ecosystem, is termed smart manufacturing. We call these technologies and solutions “enablers,” which help in optimizing the entire manufacturing process and thus increase overall profits. Some of the prominent enablers in the current market scenario includes Artificial intelligence, Blockchain in manufacturing, the Industrial Internet of things, Robotics, Condition monitoring, Cybersecurity and many others. The book consolidates results developed by leading academic and industrial groups in the area, providing systematic, comprehensive coverage of conceptual and methodological advances made to date.
