Creating Sustainable Production Systems Through Advanced Industrial Innovation

Abstract

In recent years, sustainability has shifted from being an aspect of manufacturing strategies that was of secondary importance to being central to those strategies. Increased energy costs, tougher environmental laws, greater demands by consumers and investors, and real-world effects of resource shortages and global warming have turned sustainable manufacturing from a nice-to-have endeavor into a necessity for companies. On the other hand, the development of cutting-edge industrial solutions, such as process optimization through artificial intelligence and circular manufacturing, enables manufacturers to achieve both improved efficiency and decreased environmental impact.
