Energy Efficiency in Strategy of Sustainable Production, Vol. II: Selected, Peer Reviewed Papers from the 3rd Green Factory Bavaria Colloquium 2016, November 30-December 1, 2016, Convention Center Nuremberg, Germany (Applied Mechanics and Materials)

The Green Factories in Bavaria bundle up the research skills of all relevant fields for energy efficient production, e.g. Mechanical Engineering, Processing Technologies, Electrical Engineering, Information Technology, Process Engineering, Materials Science and Economic Science. They also consider all major types of energy, e.g. for motion, illumination, information processing, manufacturing processes and thermal control. Furthermore, Green Factories address the use of energy in production, logistics and administration. With clear focus on energy efficiency in the production and Bavarian-wide, interdisciplinary collaboration, these Green Factories have to be expanded into an international research network. We hope that presented articles from 3rd Green Factory Bavaria Colloquium 2016 will be useful for many researchers and engineers for the development and operation of modern energy-efficient productions.
