Abstract

Industry 4.0 and the Internet of Things have revolutionized every manufacturing process, and the welding industry is far from this huge breakthrough. Big data and real-time monitoring as critical elements of the fourth industrial revolution are the essential parts of all manufacturing sectors, especially laser welding. Therefore, optimizing and controlling manufacturing processes using Industry 4.0 components, such as the Internet of Things, sensor-based monitoring, and big data analytics, are considered critical approaches toward sustainable, efficient, and defect-free manufacturing. In this regard, this chapter has argued intelligent laser welding and analyzed sustainable manufacturing challenges by using optimization approaches. It recommends possible concerted effort and reveals how laser welding and Industry 4.0 strategies can integrate, assist, and synchronize each other.
