This book covers a variety of topics related to the Industry 4.0 concept, with a special emphasis on the efficiency of production processes and innovative solutions for smart factories.

The book covers various topics in mechanical engineering, with a special attention to machine design, product assembly, technological aspects of production, mechatronics and production maintenance.

This book reports on research findings and technologies supporting the paradigm shift toward the Factory of the Future. Gathering peer-review contributions to the 9th International Scientific-Technical Conference MANUFACTURING 2026, held on May 19-21, 2026, in Poznan, Poland, it covers topics relating to material research, engineering design supported by numerical simulations and modeling, and robotics. It also discusses advances in green technology and energy efficiency, and industrial application of IoT. All in all, this book provides researchers and engineers with a timely snapshot of mechanical engineering research and answers to challenges generated by industry 4.0 and 5.0, digitalization and sustainable development.

This book covers a variety of topics in material, mechanical, and management engineering, especially in the area of machine design, product assembly, measurement systems, process planning and quality control.
