Description:

We live in a society driven by rapid and unpredictable changes. The concept of the "fourth industrial revolution" was introduced less than ten years ago, alongside "smart factories" — novelties in production technologies, enabling IT services and greater attention to energy consumption. Today, we are discussing the fifth stage in the evolution of society, the advent of the 5.0 company.

This book outlines strategic lines and suggests future directions for the development of the "super smart society," which takes responsibility and ensures sustainability by adhering to new smart technologies and skills. It is intended for a broad audience working in material science and engineering, energy, and environment, serving as an invaluable reference for researchers, academicians, students, and industrial institutions working on smart manufacturing design.
