This book provides an in-depth exploration of the latest advancements in sustainable manufacturing, as presented at the International Conference on Sustainable Manufacturing. The proceedings focus on three pivotal areas: the production of new energy vehicles (NEVs), production robots, and software-defined manufacturing.The section on NEVs delves into innovations in battery technologies, lightweight materials, eco-friendly production processes, and sustainable sourcing, highlighting how these advancements reduce environmental impact and enhance efficiency.The segment on production robots examines the integration of automation and robotics to boost productivity and sustainability, emphasizing energy-efficient systems, collaborative robots (cobots), quality control, and predictive maintenance.The final part on software-defined manufacturing explores the digital transformation of manufacturing processes, discussing digital twins, the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), artificial intelligence, machine learning, cloud manufacturing, and cyber-physical systems. These technologies enable smarter, more adaptive, and sustainable manufacturing environments.This comprehensive collection of research and practical applications is essential for academics, industry professionals, and policymakers committed to advancing sustainable manufacturing practices.
