The transition to Industry 4.0 intensifies the demand for advanced manufacturing techniques and efficient data processing capabilities. A notable challenge in engineering is that many older engineering drawings are only available in paper form, creating significant barriers for modern automated systems. This study tackles these challenges by employing advanced deep-learning techniques alongside traditional image processing to convert legacy engineering drawings into structured, machine-readable formats. Following this digitization process, this multi-modal approach further processes drawings containing a lot of heterogeneous data by filtering non-essential details to isolate and extract critical features. This process enables the conversion of complex drawings into formats suitable for computer vision and deep learning applications. The structured datasets resulting from this process are then utilized to enhance the efficiency of automated processes significantly. For instance, they enable more efficient pick-and-place operations by providing the data necessary for machine learning-driven automation.

Industry 4.0 and digital transformations shape business today more than ever, with the aim of achieving better results and performance. The introduction of digital technologies enables the creation of an agile and flexible business that is ready to respond to the demands of today's production. As a basic prerequisite for the implementation of Industry 4.0, modern information system are needed, which are the backbone for networking, collecting and processing data in real time. This especially applies to MES systems. However, in order for information systems as well as other digital technologies to realise their full potential on the path of Industry 4.0, knowledge and use of Lean manufacturing for the organisation is necessary, to achieve efficient production and business processes without losses. The goal of this paper is to contribute to a better understanding of the possibilities of digital technologies in the field of information systems in production, as well as to present the concept of digital transformation in SMEs with the support of Lean manufacturing, and all with the support of the learning factory. The paper presents an example of the implementation of digital transformation in a local company through the implementation of information systems as well as Lean manufacturing. Also, the paper describes previous research in the field of digital transformation of SMEs, achieved through the work and developed infrastructure of the learning factory, which gave a broader picture of the current state of enterprises in the environment on the way to digital transformation and Industry 4.0.

Change is complex, uncomfortable, frustrating but importantly, worth the investment- to teach better and to make positive and long-lasting improvements within our educational system. However, navigating the complexities of educating the next generation of engineers is no easy feat. Education is key to helping engineering adapt to 21st-century challenges because it develops the people within a system that is itself complex. This paper shares practical experience and learnings from the experience of two organisations, Engineers Without Borders UK (EWB-UK) and the UK's engineering Professors Council (EPC). Both have navigated this landscape to engage people to co-create resources that meaningfully integrate global responsibility into engineering education by changing how we teach. Firstly, through the engineering for People Design Challenge, which aims to bring to life real-world challenges through a project-based learning pedagogy. Secondly, the upskilling and guidance resources for educators through the EPC's Ethics and Sustainability Toolkits which are designed to help engineering educators improve their own knowledge and skills to integrate this content into teaching, and EWB-UK's Reimagined Degree Map which supports engineering departments to navigate the decisions that are urgently required to prepare students for 21st-century challenges. We analyse data, testimonials and insights from educators using the co-created resources who have made changes to their education practice.

Advances in manufacturing technology made plastics comparatively inexpensive, light, mouldable and durable. The great success of plastics comes along with a strong negative environmental impact and their accumulation in landfills and leakage into the natural environment is now recognized as a global environmental crisis. The circular economy approach to plastics provides a feasible solution to the prevailing linear system and aims to raise the proportion of plastic that is reused or recycled back into the system. The transition towards a circular economy, cannot be achieved solely through changes within the waste-handling system but must be combined with changes in other parts of the value chain, including the design, the manufacturing, etc. Plastic manufacturing companies need support in the transition. Therefore, this study aims to provide knowledge to plastics companies to move from linear towards circular manufacturing processes. We conduct a systematic literature review examining current practices and research needs in circularity within the plastics industry. This study contributes to the literature by mapping circularity strategies in plastics, explaining innovative circular plastic materials, and highlighting current circular manufacturing technologies such as additive manufacturing and the chemical transformation of waste plastics into various value-added chemical feedstocks, which can replace petrochemicals. Additionally, circular pathways are illustrated to support practitioners in identifying their current position in the value chain and understanding pathways to increase circularity. One of the key conclusions is that circular plastic value chains are still deficient in the implementation of R-strategies (such as rethinking, reducing, reusing, etc.) besides recycling.

The manufacturing industry is one of the major drivers and contributors to the success of the European economy. Within Central Europe, a large amount of high-value innovation know-how coming from academia and industry is clustered around the areas of advanced manufacturing and industry 4.0, two areas critical for maintaining Central Europe's competitive edge and high employment rate. However, lack of transparency in access to knowledge on the opportunities offered by Industry4.0 concepts and applications, insufficient cooperation and linkages between innovation actors within and between regions and countries as well as missing alignment of strategies and programs on a policy level are some of the challenges that the Central Europe innovation ecosystem is currently facing. In this paper, the authors describe the conceptualisation, realisation and outcomes of a series of stakeholder engagements workshops for the community-driven development of a sustainable comprehensive policy implementation framework for the areas of advanced manufacturing and industry4.0 in Central Europe.
