This book addresses aspects of human factors in engineering and provides a detailed discussion of novel approaches, systems engineering tools, artificial cognitive systems, and intelligent technologies and automation. It presents applications in diverse areas, including digital manufacturing, transportation, infrastructure development, and cybersecurity.

The technologies which are part of Industry 4.0 infrastructure are of cutting-edge nature. It includes cloud computing, virtual and augmented reality, automated guided vehicle, sensors, robots, Internet of Things (IoT), Big Data and analytics, simulation machine-to-machine communication, cyber physical systems, and Artificial Intelligence. Each of the technologies has different application in a wide range of fields. The manufacturing, especially smart and intelligent manufacturing, is also possible due to integration of various Industry 4.0 technologies. One key technology which is highly necessary for smart and intelligent manufacturing is referred to as digital twin. The digital twin is not a new technology, apart from those mentioned earlier. However, digital twin is an innovative integration of some of Industry 4.0 technologies such as cyber-physical system, simulation, Big Data and analytics, cloud computing, and virtual and augmented reality, etc.

This book:

• Merges the engineering perspective with the human factors and social dimension of computing and Artificial Intelligence–based technologies.
• Covers technological development of human factors engineering and the human dimension in applications across all areas of modern society.
• Relates to human behavior in the context of technology and systems interactions.
• Discusses the design and the appropriation of 3D printing techniques in the management of an innovative product system.
• Presents systems engineering tools, user experience methodologies, artificial cognitive systems, intelligent technologies, and automation.

The text is for students, professionals, and researchers in the fields of ergonomics, human factors, industrial engineering, and manufacturing engineering.
