Advancing Industrial Automation
Industrial Automation is facing multiple challenges in growing at the rate in which industry demands. Automation set-up, diagnostics and service is not automatic, and speed to implement and performance once installed can be impaired. Despite this, a series of easy to realise tools and approaches can be utilised to streamline processes, record outcomes, and feedback process control. These steps are baselining newly created automation cells so they are more reliable and can yield better performance – opening the potential for new applications. This keynote speech will outline some of these major challenges and the steps which can be taken in the near- and mid-term to address them.
About the speaker: After completing a doctorate in Systems Engineering focusing on hybrid manufacture, Blake has spent over a decade working in companies targeting process control, automation, robotics, tactile-probing and vision-based products. Combining a technical background with lived commercial experience, he is most recently focused on improving the state of Industrial Automation using 21st century methods to transform the setup, diagnostics and performance of robots.

Enabling Cyber Manufacturing As-a-Service Framework through Data-Driven Modelling Approaches
02
Future manufacturing envisions cyber manufacturing as-a-service frameworks that cater to on-demand production of discrete engineered products. These services are being enabled by recent advances in digitalization of the manufacturing enterprise spanning the factory floor and the supply chain through Industry 4.0/5.0 concepts and technologies. Critical to the success of this vision are computational tools that enable human-in-the-loop and, when safe and possible, automated decision-making. This talk will discuss the role of data- (and physics)-driven computational tools in decision-making at various stages of the design-to-manufacturing translation of discrete engineered products. Specifically, it will address the use of modern AI/ML (and physics-based) computational capabilities to automate key manufacturing decision-making or planning steps including manufacturability assessment, process selection and sequencing, and other aspects of detailed process planning with a focus on cutting processes. The talk will conclude with an overview of recent work on privacy-preserving data-driven modelling approaches for secure manufacturing supplier selection in a future cyber manufacturing as-a-service marketplace.

Beyond Conventional AM: How Additive Friction Stir Deposition Redefines Possibilities
Solid-state Additive Manufacturing (AM) techniques, including Additive Friction Stir Deposition (AFSD), have emerged as promising alternatives to conventional fusion-based methods. AFSD, a novel solid-state process which is also known as MELD, utilizes bar-type feedstock and frictional-deformational heat as the energy source to achieve bonding through extensive plastic deformation at temperatures below the material’s melting point. This approach eliminates many challenges associated with melting and rapid solidification, such as hot cracking and high residual stresses due to rapid cooling.
​
The ability to process in ambient air, coupled with high deposition rates and the production of good mechanical properties, makes AFSD a compelling candidate for replacing large-format castings and forgings—particularly in aerospace, naval, nuclear, and automotive sectors, where long lead times are a significant drawback. Despite its potential, AFSD’s low technology readiness level limits wider industrial adoption. Therefore, this talk will explore the latest advances in AFSD, highlighting its advantages, limitations, and the critical relationships between process, microstructure, and mechanical properties.
About the speaker: Dr. Evren Yasa graduated with her degree in Mechanical Engineering from the Istanbul Technical University (Turkey) and completed her master's degree at the University of British Columbia (BC, Canada) on volumetric error modelling and compensation. She received her Ph.D. degree with her thesis on "Combined Process of Selective Laser Melting and Selective Laser Erosion/Laser Re-melting" at the Catholic University of Leuven, for which she was awarded the "Emerald Outstanding Doctoral Study-Highly commended". After her Ph.D. study, she worked as a senior engineer at TEI, a GE-joint venture company specializing in manufacturing aero-engine parts, where she led Additive Manufacturing projects and facilities. Later, she joined Eskisehir Osmangazi University as an assistant professor and worked as a consultant to aerospace and defence companies to adopt Additive Manufacturing processes. She has been working as an independent expert in the field of laser-based manufacturing on behalf of the European Commission to evaluate proposals and project progresses.

Machining Transformation (MX) – How innovative technologies will shape the future of machining
Increased product complexity, novel materials, shortage of skilled personnel or resilience of supply chains – these are a just few of the challenges companies in manufacturing face today. On top of that, the industrial sector is responsible for a significant share of green house gas emissions. As a consequence, nothing less than a machining transformation is required to ensure reliant and sustainable manufacturing in the future. The presentation will highlight DMG MORI’s approach of a machining transformation (MX) that combines the areas of process integration, automation, green transformation (DX) and digital transformation (DX). Based on that, selected technical developments from hybrid machining (additive-subtractive), workpiece scanning, and energy-saving machine tool components will be discussed. Furthermore, the crucial role of academia in developing novel ideas will be addressed. The presentation concludes with an outlook and some open research questions.
About the speaker: After finishing my master’s degree in industrial engineering in 2012, I started as doctoral student at the Institute for Production Engineering and Machine Tools (IFW) at the Leibniz University in Hannover in collaboration with the Daimler AG. My research was focused on tool and process development for machining. In 2016, I obtained my doctoral degree and stayed in academia. During this time, I led several research groups on machining, process simulation and technical production planning. Since 2023 I am part of DMG MORI’s Central Development Coordination and responsible for our research projects in our European entities. As a former CIRP Research Affiliate and Corporate Member, now, I enjoy the opportunity to exchange and discuss ideas from industry and academia to improve production technology.
