We live in a society driven by rapid and unpredictable changes. The concept of the “fourth industrial revolution” was introduced less than ten years ago - the more aware and reality oriented “smart factories”. By this we mean novelties in production technologies, enabling IT services and greater attention to energy consumption. Today, we are discussing the fifth stage in the evolution of society, the advent of the 5.0 company. This book outlines strategic lines and suggests future directions for the development of the "super smart society" which takes responsibility and ensures sustainability by adhering to new smart technologies and skills. The book is intended for a broad audience working in the fields of material science and engineering, energy, environment, etc. It is an invaluable reference source for researchers, academicians, students, industrial institutions, government and independent institutes, individual research groups and scientists working in the field of industrial applications of smart manufacturing design.

This book discusses the increase in global competitiveness which challenges the manufacturing market to integrate design and product in order to improve quality and process. The book goes on to examine digital manufacturing technologies and critiques how they are transforming every link of the manufacturing value chain.Digital Effects, Strategies, and Industry 5.0 presents many different tooling processes that digital manufacturing utilizes such as artificial intelligence, automation and robotics, additive technology, human-machine interaction, and IoT. Digital manufacturing technologies and how they can transform every link of the manufacturing value chain, from research and development, supply chain, and factory operations to marketing, sales, and service, are examined within the book. Also included is coverage of Industry 5.0, the future, and how it is already starting a trend of change processes directed towards closer cooperation between man and machine, as well as systematic prevention of waste and wasting including industrial upcycling, along with case studies.This book is aimed at professionals and students in the areas of manufacturing and processing, productivity improvement, environmental, engineering management, and information management.

This book collects a high-quality selection of contemporary research and case studies on the complexity resulting from human/reliability management in industrial plants and critical infrastructures. It includes:Human-error management issues—considering how to reduce human errors as much as possible.Reliability management issues—considering the ability of a system or component to function under certain conditions for a specified period of time.Thus, the book analyses globally the problem regarding the human and reliability management to reduce human errors as much as possible and to ensure safety and security in critical infrastructures.Accidents continue to be the major concern in “critical infrastructures”, and human factors have been proved to be the prime causes to accidents. Clearly, human dynamics are a challenging management function to guarantee reliability, safety and costs reduction in critical infrastructures. The book is enriched by figures, examples and extensive case studies and is a valuable reference resource for those with involved in disaster and emergency planning as well as researchers interested both in theoretical and practical aspects.
