Lecture Notes in Mechanical Engineering Proceedings of the International Conference on Smart and Advanced Manufacturing

This book presented selected papers from the International Conference on Smart and Advanced Manufacturing (ICSAM) 2024 held during 27-28 November, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. This book presented selected papers from the International Conference on Smart and Advanced Manufacturing (ICSAM) 2024 held during 27-28 November, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The book covers various aspects of design, development, assembly, integration, and verification within the manufacturing domain. The papers cover key topics such as (1) intelligent manufacturing; (2) process optimization; (3) design and fabrication; (4) joining technology; (5) materials processing; (6) materials innovation, bringing together contributions from industry practitioners, academics, and policymakers from different sectors science disciplines to offer a holistic perspective. The papers emphasize on practical case studies and showcase real-world examples of successful smart manufacturing implementations, challenges faced, and lessons learned. It highlights regional differences in smart manufacturing practices, regulations, and cultural nuances and also ethical implications of smart manufacturing technologies such as data privacy, worker safety, and environment. Lastly it dedicates a section to emerging trends and futuristic concepts, such as Industry 4.0, digital twins, blockchain in supply chains, and human–robot collaboration.
