Call for papers/Topics

Topics of Interest for Submission include, but are Not Limited to:

1. Advanced Manufacturing Technologies

This area focuses on the cutting-edge processes and hardware that enable complex and highly precise production.

• Additive Manufacturing (3D Printing):

  • Metal AM and the development of new alloys (e.g., aerospace and biomedical applications).

  • Multi-Material and Hybrid AM (combining additive with subtractive processes).

  • Process control and quality assurance in layer-by-layer fabrication.

• Smart Automation and Robotics:

  • Collaborative Robots (Cobots) and human-robot interaction in assembly.

  • Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) for intralogistics and material handling.

  • Precision motion control and optimal trajectory generation for multi-axis machine tools.

• Advanced Materials Processing:

  • Micro-/Nano-Precision Fabrication and ultra-precision machining.

  • Laser-based processes (machining, welding) and energy beam processing.

  • Design and manufacturing of advanced composites and smart/active materials.

2.  System Optimization and Data Science

This theme addresses the modeling, analytical tools, and computational methods used to improve manufacturing performance.

• Industry 4.0 and Digital Transformation:

  • Development and application of Digital Twins for real-time simulation and testing of production systems.

  • Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), sensor networks, and data integration.

  • Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) and IT/OT (Information Technology/Operational Technology) network convergence.

• Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML):

  • Predictive Maintenance (PdM): Using ML algorithms to forecast equipment failures and minimize unplanned downtime.

  • Process Modeling and Control: ML-based process optimization for autonomous control and anomaly detection.

  • Zero-Defect Manufacturing (ZDM): Using AI for real-time quality inspection and control.

• Optimization Methodologies:

  • Application of Statistical Process Control (SPC) and Design of Experiments (DOE).

  • Algorithms like Genetic Algorithms (GA), MOORA, and TOPSIS for single- and multi-objective optimization (e.g., maximizing efficiency while minimizing cost).

  • Implementing Lean Manufacturing and Six Sigma methodologies (e.g., DMAIC, Value Stream Mapping) with digital tools.

3.  System-Level Applications and Sustainability

These topics look at the broader impact and management of optimized manufacturing systems across the supply chain.
