The first challenge in Material Forming & Removal looks to explore the value of in-line controls in forming and machining process chains
The value of in-line controls in forming and machining process chains refers to the benefits and advantages of integrating real-time monitoring and control systems into the manufacturing process. By implementing sensors and feedback mechanisms at various stages of the process, manufacturers can monitor and adjust the process parameters to ensure that the final product meets the desired specifications. This can lead to improved product quality, reduced waste, and increased efficiency in the production process. Additionally, by using data collected from the in-line controls, manufacturers can optimize the process parameters and make informed decisions to further improve the process chain. Overall, the value of in-line controls in forming and machining process chains lies in their ability to improve product quality, reduce costs, and increase efficiency.
This Editors challenge aims at exploring the most recent trends and applications of in-line process control techniques capable to provide real-time feedbacks for advanced process control and the new scenarios of integration with artificial intelligence. The interdisciplinary approach comprises measuring techniques, modelling approaches, material knowledge and understanding of process parameters and their interconnections. With this aim in mind, this Challenge welcomes contributions relating to, but not limited to, the following themes:
- sensors for in-process monitoring,
- devices and actuators for process control,
- measuring and monitoring techniques and approaches,
- process numerical modelling,
- modelling of process controls,
- algorithms for process control.
Additionally, topics addressing the application of artificial intelligence in process control and its impact on the value of process chains and the skills of operators are welcome.
Contributions in the form of brief research reports, original research, reviews, mini-reviews, and perspectives are welcome.
The Specialty Chief Editors of Frontiers in Manufacturing Technology launch a new series of Research Topics to highlight current challenges across the field of Manufacturing. Other collections in the series are:
• Editor’s Challenge in Life Cycle Engineering: Battery Life Cycle Engineering
• Editor's Challenge in Digital Manufacturing - Digital Transformation of Manufacturing through Industrial Metaverse: Opportunities and Challenges for Industry 5.0
Keywords:
material forming, material removal, Process control, Intelligent processing, Control systems
Important Note:
All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
