Critics Review

“Digitalization and Sustainable Manufacturing covers research results with a broad view on how digitalization has evolved through eight years as a major tool for transition towards sustainable manufacturing in selected Norwegian manufacturing companies. I recommend this book for readers looking for examples on industry-focused research on digitalization for sustainable manufacturing.”

Professor Dr. Ir. Bert Lauwers, President of the CIRP International Academy for Production Research 2022 – 2023, and full professor in Manufacturing Processes and Systems, and Dean of the Faculty of Engineering Technology, KU Leuven, Belgium

“I can recommend this book for its interesting snapshots from manufacturing industry-focused research on how digitalization can serve as a tool in the path towards a more sustainable manufacturing industry. The book offers insights from several areas, encompassing materials and manufacturing processes like additive manufacturing and welding, automation as well as manufacturing systems and organisation.”

Professor Michael Zwicky Hauschild, co-founder and director of the DTU Centre for Absolute Sustainability and professor at the Department of Environmental and Resource Engineering, DTU, Denmark
