Synopsis: 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 - the more aware and reality oriented “smart factories”. By this we mean 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. The book is intended for a broad audience working in the fields of material science and engineering, energy, environment, etc. It is an invaluable reference source for researchers, academicians, students, industrial institutions, government and independent institutes, individual research groups and scientists working in the field of industrial applications of smart manufacturing design.
