The era of the fourth industrial revolution has fundamentally
transformed the manufacturing landscape. Products are getting
increasingly complex and customers expect a higher level of
customization and quality. Manufacturing in the Era of 4th
Industrial Revolution explores three technologies that are the
building blocks of the next-generation advanced manufacturing.The
first technology covered in Volume 1 is Additive Manufacturing
(AM). AM has emerged as a very popular manufacturing process. The
most common form of AM is referred to as 'three-dimensional (3D)
printing'. Overall, the revolution of additive manufacturing has
led to many opportunities in fabricating complex, customized, and
novel products. As the number of printable materials increases and
AM processes evolve, manufacturing capabilities for future
engineering systems will expand rapidly, resulting in a completely
new paradigm for solving a myriad of global problems.The second
technology is industrial robots, which is covered in Volume 2 on
Robotics. Traditionally, industrial robots have been used on mass
production lines, where the same manufacturing operation is
repeated many times. Recent advances in human-safe industrial
robots present an opportunity for creating hybrid work cells, where
humans and robots can collaborate in close physical proximities.
This Cobots, or collaborative robots, has opened up to opportunity
for humans and robots to work more closely together. Recent
advances in artificial intelligence are striving to make industrial
robots more agile, with the ability to adapt to changing
environments and tasks. Additionally, recent advances in force and
tactile sensing enable robots to be used in complex manufacturing
tasks. These new capabilities are expanding the role of robotics in
manufacturing operations and leading to significant growth in the
industrial robotics area.The third technology covered in Volume 3
is augmented and virtual reality. Augmented and virtual reality
(AR/VR) technologies are being leveraged by the manufacturing
community to improve operations in a wide variety of ways.
Traditional applications have included operator training and design
visualization, with more recent applications including interactive
design and manufacturing planning, human and robot interactions,
ergonomic analysis, information and knowledge capture, and
manufacturing simulation. The advent of low-cost solutions in these
areas is accepted to accelerate the rate of adoption of these
technologies in the manufacturing and related sectors.Consisting of
chapters by leading experts in the world, Manufacturing in the Era
of 4th Industrial Revolution provides a reference set for
supporting graduate programs in the advanced manufacturing area.
