Advanced Manufacturing Engineering Handbook

Build the smart factory with Industry 4.0, digital twins, IIoT, and predictive maintenance frameworks the working plant runs on. Zakir Pokrovsky distills two decades of factory-floor practice into a single field reference for the manufacturing engineer, plant manager, quality director, maintenance leader, and operations executive responsible for delivering measurable results today.

Twenty chapters move from strategy to execution. Early chapters ground the business case for digital production. The middle sections lay out the data infrastructure, shop-floor AI, additive systems, robotics, and lean six sigma methods retooled for real-time data. Closing chapters cover industrial cybersecurity, sustainability and ESG reporting, workforce transformation, and the pilot-to-scale roadmap that turns isolated wins into plant-wide capability.

Every chapter opens with a named scenario, cites the relevant ISO, IEC, IEEE, or NIST standard, names the failure modes the author has fixed in real plants, and closes with checklists or case summaries you can apply on Monday. The chapters are designed to be read independently when a specific problem lands on your desk.

Standards covered include ISA-95, ISO 23247, IEC 62443, ISO 55000, ISO 50001, IATF 16949, and ISO/ASTM 52900. A single working reference that earns its place on the shelf next to your monitor. Scroll up to grab your copy.
