Green Tribology and Industry 4.0: Fundamentals and Sustainable Advancements explores the integration of sustainable tribological practices with emerging Industry 4.0 technologies. It brings together expert insights on how smart manufacturing, Artificial Intelligence, and additive processes are transforming lubrication science and surface engineering to support greener, more efficient industrial systems. It also highlights advancements in eco-friendly lubrication techniques, such as Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL), and examines innovative areas like nano- and bio-tribology. It further emphasises the use of Artificial Intelligence and machine learning in industries that comply with stringent environmental regulations, reduce reliance on depleting energy resources and minimise their carbon footprint.

This book:

- Explores the impact of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning on Industry 4.0.

- Discusses the role of materials, coatings and lubricants in tribological systems to achieve sustainability.

- Discusses challenges and opportunities of AI/ML in tribological system optimisation.

- Discusses other topics Nano-tribology, Bio-tribology, Sustainable Manufacturing and Minimum Quality lubrications (MQL) Innovations.

With a focus on practical and future-ready solutions, this book is a valuable resource for researchers, engineers, and industry professionals striving for innovation and sustainability in modern industrial practices.
