This book covers a variety of topics in the field of industrial engineering, with a special focus on research and industrial applications aimed at both improving quality of processes and products and contributing to a sustainable economy. Based on a set of papers presented at the 2nd International Conference "Innovation in Engineering", ICIE, held in Minho, Portugal, on June 28-30, 2022, it focuses on innovative technologies associated with and strategies for the development of Industry 4.0. The chapters discuss new ways to improve industrial production and supply chain management by applying mathematical and computational methods. They also cover important issues relating to sustainability, education, and collaborations between industry and universities, and national developments. This book, which belongs to a three-volume set, provides engineering researchers and professionals with a timely overview and extensive information on trends and technologies behind the current and future developments of Industry 4.0.

This book gathers timely contributions on metrology and measurement systems, across different disciplines and fields of applications. The chapters, which were presented at the 7th International Scientific-Technical Conference, MANUFACTURING 2022, held on May 16-19, 2022, in Poznan, Poland, cover cutting-edge research and best-practices concerning the use of optical, computed tomographic, and coordinate metrology systems to assess the fidelity of 3D printing processes and products. They discuss strategies for automating, and for improving the effectiveness of quality control and measuring processes. All in all, this book provides both researchers and practitioners with a timely guide on cutting-edge measuring systems supporting the development of modern and additive manufacturing in the context of industry 4.0.
