This book introduces the applications of Industry 4.0 in machine tools through an overview of the latest available digital technologies. It focuses on digital twining, communication between industrial controls, motion, and input/output devices, along with sustainability in SMEs. Machine Tools: An Industry 4.0 Perspective focuses on the digital twining of machine tools, which improves the life of the machines and provides a method of operating a factory during times of complete lockdown resulting from various conditions. It presents an overview of the communication between industrial controls, motion, and input/output devices through standardized digital interfaces such as SERCOS and USB. The book goes on to discuss industrial cybersecurity systems applicable to discrete manufacturing, which includes cyberattacks and human errors, and address the security aspects related to software, hardware, and data. The book also explores the application of big data for different stages of production and illustrates the uses such as predictive maintenance, product quality, product life cycle management (PLM), and more. This book is an ideal reference for undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate students of industrial, mechanical, and mechatronics engineering, along with professionals, and general readers.

With the advent of the 4th Industrial Revolution, the implementation of the nine pillars of technology has taken a firm root, especially after the post-COVID pandemic era. The integration of cyber-physical systems is one of the most important pillars that has led to the maximization of productivity, which also leads to the maximization of profits from a manufacturing system. This book discusses manufacturing enterprises, then looks at the theoretical and practical aspects of integrating these manufacturing systems using legacy and modern communication methodologies and relates them to the current level of technology readiness. Integration of Heterogenous Manufacturing Machinery in Cells and Systems: Policies and Practices focuses on the methods covering the use of Artificial Intelligence, Augmented Reality, the Internet of Things, and cellular and physical industrial communication. It describes the nine pillars of technology which include the Internet of Things, Cloud Computing, Autonomous, and Robotics Systems, Big Data Analytics, Augmented Reality, Cyber Security, Simulation, System integration, and Additive Manufacturing. The book highlights the methods used that cover mechanical, electrical, electronics, and computer software aspects of developing manufacturing machinery and discusses computer-aided design (CAD), production planning, and manufacturing, as well as production databases with basics and semantics. This book is an ideal reference for undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate students of industrial, manufacturing, mechanical, and mechatronics engineering, along with professionals and general readers.
