The manufacturing industry is facing massive changes driven by digitalization and sustainability. It is being redefined to meet UN SDGs with the creation of new materials, processes and machinery. The drive for digitalization in order to use resources more effectively and efficiently adds to the complexity of this twin transition. This book presents results from 8 years of research with 15 industry partners, following the transition towards a digitalized industry 4.0 manufacturing and sustainable manufacturing paradigm.

The selected chapters demonstrate how globally competitive manufacturing in high-cost countries such as Norway is enabled by AI-supported intelligent and flexible automation and use of digital twins, as well as human centred manufacturing. The book describes the interactions in innovative and sustainable organizations and changes in materials, products and processes, digital twins and AI-supported automated manufacturing processes. Supported by case studies and reflections from the manufacturing industry, the book evaluates how the combination of digitalization and sustainability enables competitiveness. With a focus on multi-material products and processes, robust and flexible automation, and innovative and sustainable organizations, it provides a multi-disciplinary insight into the challenges and opportunities faced by manufacturing industries over time.

This book serves as an ideal reference for researchers, scholars and policymakers in manufacturing, production and operations, with a particular interest in technology and sustainability.

Industry Reviews

"The Digitalization and Sustainable Manufacturing book covers research results with a broad view on how digitalization have evolved through 8 years as a major tool for transition towards Sustainable Manufacturing in selected Norwegian manufacturing companies. I recommend this book for readers looking for examples on industry-focused research on digitalization for sustainable manufacturing."

Professor Dr. Ir. Bert Lauwers, President of the CIRP International Academy for Production Research 2022 - 2023, and full professor in Manufacturing Processes and systems and dean of the Faculty of Engineering Technology, KU Leuven, Belgium

"I can recommend this book for its interesting snapshots from manufacturing industry-focused research on how digitalization can serve as a tool in the path towards a more sustainable manufacturing industry. The book offers insights from several areas, encompassing materials and manufacturing processes like additive manufacturing and welding, automation as well as manufacturing systems and organisation."
