Patel C.D., Chen C.-H. (Eds) Digital Manufacturing: Key Elements of a Digital Factory

Amsterdam: Elsevier, 2024. — 485 p. — ISBN 978-0-443-13812-6.Digital Manufacturing: Key Elements of a Digital Factory explains the different devices and agents at the factory floor level that are driving the digital manufacturing revolution, including autonomous robots, process automation, artificial intelligence and cyber-physical systems. Individual chapters explore the fundamentals and benefits of major digital manufacturing tools including robotics, the industrial internet of things, digital twins, edge security, knowledge discovery, service-centric production, and related supply-chain strategies. Real-world case studies from industry are provided throughout to show how these work in practice.
In addition to learning about individual technologies, readers will discover how they are integrating to drive the digital transformation of manufacturing ecosystem. Final sections present new business models working towards sustainable net zero operations and economy.Key Features
