Digital Technologies for Sustainable Manufacturing provides a practical framework for promoting sustainability in manufacturing by combining Life Cycle Engineering with the 5S principles (Social, Sustainable, Sensing, Smart, and Safe). This book introduces ten core digital technologies—including AI, simulation tools, IoT, digital twins, additive manufacturing, CAD tools, blockchain, cloud computing, AR/VR, and robotics and automation—as vital drivers for fostering innovation and resilience across materials, products, processes, manufacturing systems, and supply chains. Each chapter blends theory with real-world case studies and shows how competitive intelligence helps stakeholders anticipate trends and make strategic decisions. This comprehensive book prepares engineers, scientists, and leaders to create a more sustainable, efficient, and future-ready manufacturing ecosystem.
