This book shows how companies can practically implement the advantages of Industry 4.0 and digitalization and also addresses the current challenges with regard to engineering education for Industry 4.0. In this book, we collect the contributions of the 1st Symposium on Industrial Engineering and Automation (ISIEA 2022), which took place from June 21–22, 2022 at the Free University of Bolzano. The contributions cover three basic areas: (1) best practice examples and technical solutions for the implementation of Industry 4.0 in production and logistics, (2) management-oriented approaches for the digital transformation in companies, and (3) addressing Industry 4.0 in engineering education. The book targets different readers. Researchers find approaches to current research topics regarding Industry 4.0. Practitioners find valuable examples for technological implementations as well as management approaches for introducing digitalization. Students and lecturers find hints on how Industry4.0 can be integrated into university teaching.

This book aims at bringing together academic and industry, researchers in mechanical engineering and their worldwide partners in a stimulating environment. ISIEA is an annual event that takes place in Bolzano and is organized by the Industrial Engineering and Automation macro-area of the Free University of Bozen/Bolzano. The main theme of the 2024 edition covers all major areas of R&D and innovation in advanced mechanical engineering. Special sessions on tribology and materials, modeling and simulations, powertrains, applied mechanics and robotics have been presented. Special track related to life and efficiency of bearings; cycloidal speed reducers; multi-physics modeling approaches; infrared thermography; planning and control of robotic and mechatronic systems; mobile field robotics; formulations and applications of structural and multibody dynamics; innovative solutions for safer and more sustainable mobility; artificial intelligence in manufacturing and mechanical engineering; advancements in aerospace technologies; innovative engineering education; SME 5.0: intelligent, sustainable and human-centered SMEs have been presented.
