Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue invites opinions, arguments, discourses, individual technologies and integrated technologies that seek to discover and optimize sustainable manufacturing technologies. There are various technological and social viewpoints on the manufacturing industry, and accordingly, the viewpoints on sustainability and optimization also change. From the perspective of sustainability and optimization, this Special Issue welcomes the submission of papers addressing topics including, but not limited to:
- Manufacturing process technology;
- Manufacturing raw material technology;
- Manufacturing industry supports and policies;
- Manufacturing data processing;
- Manufacturing workforce training.
We feel the need to look at detailed topics that may have been dealt with in a fragmented form from a more generalized and integrated perspective. Materials scientists and process engineers have been conducting research and development in terms of sustainability for a long time, but it is time to pay more attention to discussions outside the technical realm. Sustainability and efficiency throughout the whole manufacturing process, including material, process, assembly, distribution, and recycling, are taking on increasing significance. In the broadest sense, faster sustainable growth will be achieved if industrial, environmental, climate and energy contributions are studied simultaneously. In this way, it is possible to achieve multiple goals, such as innovation, improvement of the energy efficiency of products, movement towards climate-neutral manufacturing, as well as job creation. It is also time to reassess public opinion and support for this process. In this context, this Special Issue is open to both technical and discursive contributions on manufacturing technologies.
