The first Digital Enterprise Technology (DET) International Conference was held in Durham, UK in 2002 and the second DET Conference in Seattle, USA in 2004. Sponsored by CIRP (College International pour la Recherche en Productique), the third DET Conference took place in Setúbal, Portugal in 2006. Digital Enterprise Technology: Perspectives and Future Challenges is an edited volume based on this conference. Topics include: distributed and collaborative design, process modeling and process planning, advanced factory equipment and layout design and modeling, physical-to-digital environment integrators, enterprise integration technologies, and entrepreneurship in DET.

Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).During the past decade, digital manufacturing science and technology have experienced very rapid development. These have not only provided industry with new methods, new tools and new digitalized products - which have transformed everything from design, materials processing to operational and management procedures - but are also changing the intercommunications, modes of thought and working environments of everybody in the manufacturing field. Digital manufacturing has brought remarkable and fundamental improvements to manufacturing industry and related research. This collection includes 181 peer-reviewed papers covering topics as varied as: e-commerce engineering, collaborative product design & manufacturing, modeling and simulation of the workflow of the design and manufacturing process, modeling and simulation of materials processing, modeling and integration of enterprises, enterprise resource-planning, workshop planning and management, knowledge engineering applications in digital enterprises, development of digitalized products, virtual manufacturing and numerical control of equipment.This book will be invaluable to production and development engineers, research students and academics working in these fields. This volume contains approximately 180 papers originally presented at the Sixth International Conference on e-Engineering & Digital Enterprise Technology, held in Harbin, China, in August 2007. The papers reflect the dynamic growth of digital manufacturing science and technology that has occurred in the past decade. Primary topics include: e-commerce engineering, collaborative product design and manufacturing, modeling and simulation of material processing, modeling and integration of enterprise, enterprise resources planning, knowledge engineering applications in digital enterprise, development of digitalized products, virtual manufacturing, and numerical control of equipment. Collection editors are: Cheng, Yingxue Yao, Zhou, Qi Yao, Xie, Yu, Gong, and Hou. All are affiliated with the Harbin Institute of Technology.

Digital transformation (DT) has become a buzzword. Every industry segment across the globe is consciously jumping toward digital innovation and disruption to get ahead of their competitors. In other words, every aspect of running a business is being digitally empowered to reap all the benefits of the digital paradigm. All kinds of digitally enabled businesses across the globe are intrinsically capable of achieving bigger and better things for their constituents. Their consumers, clients, and customers will realize immense benefits with real digital transformation initiatives and implementations. The much-awaited business transformation can be easily and elegantly accomplished with a workable and winnable digital transformation strategy, plan, and execution. There are several enablers and accelerators for realizing the much-discussed digital transformation. There are a lot of digitization and digitalization technologies available to streamline and speed up the process of the required transformation. Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) technologies in close association with decisive advancements in the artificial intelligence (AI) space can bring forth the desired transitions. The other prominent and dominant technologies toward forming digital organizations include cloud IT, edge/fog computing, real-time data analytics platforms, blockchain technology, digital twin paradigm, virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR) techniques, enterprise mobility, and 5G communication. These technological innovations are intrinsically competent and versatile enough to fulfill the varying requirements for establishing and sustaining digital enterprises. Enterprise Digital Transformation: Technology, Tools, and Use Cases features chapters on the evolving aspects of digital transformation and intelligence. It covers the unique competencies of digitally transformed enterprises, IIoT use cases, and applications. It explains promising technological solutions widely associated with digital innovation and disruption. The book focuses on setting up and sustaining smart factories that are fulfilling the Industry 4.0 vision that is realized through the IIoT and allied technologies.
