Overview
Aims and Scope
The traditional manufacturing sectors (footwear, textiles and clothing, furniture and toys, among others) are based on small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with limited capacity on investing in modern production technologies. Although these sectors rely heavily on product customization and short manufacturing cycles, they are still not able to take full advantage of the fourth industrial revolution. Industry 4.0, surfaced to address the current challenges of shorter product life-cycles, highly customized products and stiff global competition. The new manufacturing paradigm supports the development of modular factory structures within a computerized Internet of Things (IoT) environment. With Industry 4.0, rigid planning and production processes can be revolutionized. However, the computerization of manufacturing has a high degree of complexity and its implementation tends to be expensive, which goes against the reality of SMEs that power the traditional sectors. For this reason, the purpose of this special issue is to collect research works proposing solutions that facilitate the implementation of Industry 4.0 to the traditional manufacturing sectors.
Accepted papers should address the following (indicative) topics and should aim at the implementation of Industry 4.0 to traditional manufacturing sectors.
Topics
Product customization technologies in traditional manufacturing sectors, including the utilization of 3D printing approaches.
Design and implementation of CAD/CAE/CAM algorithms and applications for traditional manufacturing sectors, including Cloud applications and efficient implementation through parallel architectures.
Interoperability and distributed manufacturing in traditional manufacturing sectors.
Artificial intelligence for design & manufacturing in traditional manufacturing sectors.
Robotics systems including collaborative robots, complex robotic cells, interconnection and security issues.
