“…Energy consumption growth is one of the results of increase in the manufacturing volume, and change from traditional to sustainable production depends on using optimization in the manufacturing process. 1,2 Efficiency in the manufacturing processes as one of the most basic and important parts of manufacturing substantially affects the cost of production. In machining, apart from the technological aspects of machining such as controlling lubricant flow and machining tools and so forth, strategies and choosing optimum conditions lead to saving energy and costs summarized in efficiency.…”

Machining of metal matrix composites (MMC) are being increasingly taken into consideration due to MMCs’ especial features like high strength to weight ratio, resistance to wear and creep. In this paper, effects of cutting parameters on the surface quality, tool life, and cutting force when machining of AZ91/SiC composites are analyzed to make the process optimized. To this end, a design of experiment based on the response surface methodology are done to consider variations of cutting parameters such as cutting speed, feed rate, and depth of cut. Challenges like particles pulled out and tool worn out in the machining process are evaluated. Subsequently, the results of cutting responses are analyzed and a multi-objective optimization is applied on the data to obtain the best surface quality, the highest production volume and the condition at which tool life is longest. The results showed although increasing the feed rate from 0.05 to 0.1 mm/rev leads to the tool life reduction about 70%, it enhances the productivity considerably about 100% for composites with volume fraction 5%. Moreover, at cutting speed 41.05 m/min and feed rate 0.07 mm/rev, machining process of AZ91/SiC-vol.5% becomes efficient.

“…Research about the flow field plate needed to be further conducted from the perspective of intelligent manufacturing. Furthermore, the purpose of intelligent manufacturing technology was to reduce manufacturing costs and simplify manufacturing processes. , Therefore, our optimization of the flow field plate not only considered the improvement of pressure drop but also took the simplification of manufacturing methods into account.…”

The flow field plate is a crucial factor affecting the pressure drop and cost of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC). In order to lower the pressure drop and cost of the PEMFC, a novel design method for the flow field plate structure was proposed. One of the originalities was the fact that intelligent manufacturing technology was applied to the design of the flow field plate, and the other one was the analysis of the pressure drop and cost of the PEMFC through experiments. First, the relationship between the flow field plate and the pressure drop was analyzed by using the finite volume method. Second, a PEMFC with a novel flow field plate was designed and manufactured, which was using intelligent manufacturing technology. Third, three types of flow field plates were tested by using a self-developed PEMFC test stand. Finally, three types of flow field plates were compared and analyzed, which included the cost of hydrogen, the cost of manufacture, and the pressure drop difference. When the relative humidity was 25% and the operating temperature was 333 K, the average difference between the pressure drop of the novel flow field plate and the serpentine flow field plate was 0.16%.

“…There needs to be more research on universal mathematical models of data that can be implanted. Specific models can only solve specific problems, which increases the difficulty of information processing [74][75][76]. Finally, these gaps and deficiencies encourage us to review the existing literature systematically, integrate the existing knowledge, understand the research progress, and explore the future research direction [77][78][79].…”

Digitization and greening have become the characteristics of social and economic development. Digital technology, as a critical enabler of green supply chain management, has been widely considered and recognized by academia and business circles. With the advent of the Industry 4.0 era and the rapid development of digital technology, this emerging field of technology is constantly being updated, and so the academic research in this field is increasing but has yet to reach saturation. We systematically reviewed 144 relevant papers published in the last 14 years. We used qualitative analysis to classify, summarize and analyze the literature in two dimensions (i.e., digital technologies and green supply chain practices). Then, we continued the classification from each dimension. According to the basic characteristics, there are five digital technologies: the Internet of Things, big data, cloud computing, blockchain, and artificial intelligence. The green supply chain is divided into green procurement, green production, green consumption, and green logistics according to the essential practices of the supply chain. This study explores which digital technologies are needed in a green supply chain. The study also discusses how these technologies can reduce the input of resources and energy and the emission of pollutants, finally improving the operating efficiency of the green supply chain, and achieving economic, social, and environmental benefits.
