3rd International Conference on

Industry 4.0 and Advanced Manufacturing

11 - 12 Jan 2024 | Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, India

Overview

Industry 4.0 is about using connected intelligence to usher in greater productivity, quality, flexibility, safety and resource utilisation across manufacturing enterprises, in which advanced manufacturing technologies such as Robotics or Additive Manufacturing play a critical role.

International Conference on Industry 4.0 and Advanced Manufacturing, abbreviated as I-4AM (pronounced i-forum), is a biennial conference series, which intends to provide a platform to bring together all stakeholders in manufacturing and Industry 4.0, in particular those in academia and industry, in both India and abroad for them to deliberate on the nature, needs, challenges, opportunities, problems and solutions in this transformational area of endeavour. A specific focus of I-4AM is to provide a platform for exploring avenues for creating a vision of, and enablers for sustainable, affordable, and human-centric Industry 4.0, and to showcase cutting edge practice, research and educational innovation in this crucial and rapidly evolving area.

I-4AM 2024 is the third in a series of conferences held in India by the Centre for Product Design and Manufacturing (CPDM) (https://cpdm.iisc.ac.in/cpdm/index.php) during 11-12 January 2024. IISc is one of India's leading science and technology institutions and is one of the Institutes of Eminence decreed by the Ministry of Education (MoE), Government of India (https://iisc.ac.in/). I-4AM 2024 is sponsored by the Smart Factory at IISc (https://cpdm.iisc.ac.in/smartmanufacturing/), a Common Engineering Facility Centre (CEFC) under the Samarth Udyog Bharat 4.0 Programme (https://www.samarthudyog-i40.in/), Ministry of Heavy Industries, Government of India (https://heavyindustries.gov.in/).

The proceedings of I-4AM 2024 will be published as a book by Springer Nature that is indexed in Scopus and other databases.

The conference will have:

  • Dr. Sundar Krishnamurty, University of Massachusetts, Amherst



    • Short Bio
    Dr. Sundar Krishnamurty is the Ronnie and Eugene Isenberg Distinguished Professorship in Engineering and Department Head in the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. He is the PI for the NSF I-Corps @ UMass Amherst program and Site Director for the NSF I/UCRC Center for e-Design. Krishnamurty was a member of the National Academy of Engineering (NAE) Study Committee on Infusing Advanced Manufacturing into Undergraduate Engineering Education. Krishnamurty is a fellow of American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) and an elected member of the Department Head/Chair of the ASME Executive Committee. For his pioneering work in modeling and simulation and engineering knowledge management in design and manufacturing, Krishnamurty received the 2022 Excellence in Research Award from the Computers and Information in Engineering (CIE) Division of ASME.

    Abstract: Cutting-edge technologies are reshaping manufacturing around the world that make it possible to manufacture parts that cannot be created-or cannot be easily created-with traditional methods, to dramatically increase the customizability of manufactured products, to decrease the time between design and production, and, in some cases, to lower the cost of production. If we want to further build upon these new innovations, the next generation of engineers must be trained to work in advanced manufacturing from the undergraduate level and beyond. In late 2021, the National Academy of Engineering formed a study committee to explore how undergraduate engineering programs can better develop advanced manufacturing capabilities in the workforce. This project organized by the National Materials and Manufacturing Board in collaboration with the National Academy of Engineering examined advanced manufacturing techniques in academia and industry, with a particular focus on how industry can contribute to engineering programs and the role that governments can play by including undergraduate engineering students in their manufacturing initiatives. My talk will present highlights from our findings, including a robust roadmap with specific guidance on ways to incorporate experiential learning emphasizing advanced manufacturing and strengthen ties between academia, industry, and government through mentoring and internship programs.
