Abstract:

Recent advancements in smart technologies, such as the Internet of Things, Cyber-Physical System, Cloud Computing, Artificial Intelligence, Big Data Analytics, Digital Twin, etc., have greatly stimulated the development of smart manufacturing. There is plenty of existing research in smart manufacturing and sustainable manufacturing. However, some issues are challenging but have not been properly addressed until now. Sustainable smart manufacturing aims to integrate and apply various smart technologies in the entire lifecycle and decision-making processes, uncover the real potential of lifecycle big data, achieve data and knowledge sharing among all lifecycle stages, and promote the realization of sustainable smart manufacturing in a lifecycle perspective. The talk will cover a holistic system view of sustainable solutions, particularly in the production and operations management, and emerging technologies in digitalization and modelling to form the new paradigm of sustainable smart manufacturing in a wider range of product lifecycles. The current state of the art and challenges are discussed, and future research directions are proposed.
