Friction stir welding (FSW) is gaining traction as a preferred technique due to its potential to reduce heat input and enhance the mechanical properties of welded joints. However, the path to commercializing FSW for flange joints is not without challenges. Two primary obstacles are the complexity of the welding path and the intricate design requirements for the fixtures. These factors contribute to the difficulty in determining the ideal weld settings and process parameters, which are critical for achieving optimal results. The current study addresses these challenges by applying FSW to flange joints using custom-engineered fixtures. These fixtures are meticulously designed to hold the pipes and plates securely during the welding process. The focus of the research is on optimizing the multi-performance characteristics of FSW for Al 6063 flange joints through the hybrid Grey-based Taguchi method. The integrity of the weld joint is assessed by examining various mechanical properties within the weld zone, including rotation speed, travel speed, tool profile, and shoulder diameter. The study identifies the optimal parameter settings for the FSW process: a rotation speed of 3000 rpm, a travel speed of 3 mm/min2, a shoulder diameter of 20 mm, and a conical tool profile. Under these ideal conditions, the welded material exhibited a tensile strength of 170.169 MPa, a hardness of 63.7709 HV, and a corrosion rate of 0.022 mm/year. These findings underscore the effectiveness of the optimized FSW process in producing robust and durable flange joints.

A non-traditional method of thermal machining called wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM) is utilized for the production of intricate and complex components, particularly those composed of difficult-to-machine materials. Stainless steel has gained widespread usage in various applications in contemporary industry owing to its exceptional properties. In this present investigation, a numerical 3D finite element modeling simulation was conducted using the ABAQUS software to analyze the Material Removal Rates (MRR) for both single and multi-discharge scenarios of AISI 304 stainless steel. The findings indicate a close correspondence between the MRR values predicted by the numerical modeling and those obtained experimentally corresponding to the optimal process parameters: I = 6 A, Ton = 45 s, and Toff = 5 s. Hence, this numerical approach offers the potential to forecast outcomes before actual machining operations.

In the current industrial context, the human workforce still represents a key resource thanks to its cognitive and motor flexibility. The present work explores the role of Industry 4.0 assistive technologies in production and logistics systems from a human-centric perspective. These technologies aim to provide cognitive or physical support to operators executing manual tasks, rather than substituting them. Therefore, there is need for a comprehensive understanding of the impact of assistive technologies on the well-being and performance of operators from a human-centric perspective. In this paper, a literature review on available assistive technologies is provided. Technologies are classified based on the type of manual task (picking, assembly), type of support provided to the operator (cognitive, motor), and potential drawbacks. Outcomes emphasize the need of a thorough human-centric perspective in developing and deploying assistive technologies.

Despite the presence of a huge amount of research on various aspects related to the rationale for selection of optimal technologies, spatial aspects have traditionally remained unattended by scientists. Justification for selection of optimal technologies for the production and transportation of good and justification for selection of optimal location and capacity of the corresponding industries are interrelated tasks of the complex problem of optimizing the spatial and technological development of an economic sector within the relevant space. At first, based on the criterion of the availability of factors of production of the corresponding good, attractive production sites are identified and for each of them selection of place-based optimal production technology is justified. The developed systematic approach involves the stage of identifying locally optimal places and technologies of production and transportation for each sales market option according to the criterion of the minimum total costs of producing a good in the volume of demand of the corresponding sales market option and the costs of transporting this good to potential sales markets that form the evaluated market option sales in the amount of their demand. At the final stage, options for potential systemically optimal places and technologies, which are formed from locally optimal places and technologies, are compared. The option of potential systemically optimal locations and corresponding production and transportation technologies with minimal total costs for production and transportation is the best.
