Expanding the Horizons of Manufacturing, towards Wide Integration, Smart System, and Tools.

Smart manufacturing's practical and meaningful design follows data, information, and operational technology through the blockchain, edge computing, and machine learning to develop and facilitate the smart manufacturing system. The modern industry, production, and manufacturing core is developed based on smart manufacturing (S.M.) systems and digitalization. This research topic aims at enterprise-wide modeling and optimization (EWMO) through the development and application of integrated modeling, simulation and optimization methodologies, and computer-aided tools for reliable and sustainable improvement opportunities within the entire manufacturing network (raw materials, production plants, distribution, retailers, and customers) and its components. Blockchain technology utilizes the data transmission and the manufacturing system's transactions, and the machine learning approach provides advanced data analysis for a vast manufacturing dataset.
