Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Competitiveness in different sectors is enormous and it is up to companies to take care of their processes in order to minimize the resources needed to manufacture their products. Automation and robotics have been crucial tools in improving industrial processes. Therefore, this Special Issue aims to bring together excellent work in the area of improving manufacturing processes, illustrating how much they can improve economic, environmental and social sustainability. In fact, the dissemination of the most recent developments in the area of manufacturing processes using automation and robotics can provide exceptional inputs with a view to improving other industrial sectors, thus contributing to the evolution of knowledge and competitiveness of companies. Therefore, we hope to receive exceptional research papers on the development of new technologies and industrial systems, as well as case studies duly based on theory which validate and prove previously carried out developments.
Dr. Francisco J. G. Silva
