Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Manufacturing, as the most important pillar industry of the national economy, is an industry with a high energy consumption and high emissions. Sustainable manufacturing is an effective way to reduce energy consumption and realize the emission peak and carbon neutrality strategy. Digital transformation of production technologies and energy management is an emerging research hotspot in sustainable manufacturing, which can improve energy efficiency and reduce energy consumption of manufacturing industry.
In this context, this Special Issue intends to provide a forum for researchers around the world to present, discuss, and exchange their latest work on the topic of sustainable manufacturing: digital transformation of production technologies and energy management, and to envision developments in the future. We invite researchers to submit contributions of comprehensive reviews, case studies, or research articles with the development of data-based solutions for sustainable manufacturing.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Remanufacturing;
- Digital transformation of production technologies;
- Digital transformation of energy management;
- Big data and digital twins in sustainable manufacturing;
- Product lifecycle management;
- Energy efficiency evaluation.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
