“…The field of metrology has witnessed significant advancements in measurement techniques and technologies over the years, driven by the demand for higher precision, efficiency, and automation in manufacturing processes. Traditional mechanical metrology techniques, such as vernier calipers, micrometers, and height gauges, formed the foundation of dimensional measurement (Sydenham, 1969;Wieczorowski, and Trojanowska, 2023). While still widely used for certain applications, these techniques have been largely supplanted by more advanced methods offering higher accuracy and automation (Lewis, 2021;Fabian et al, 2023).…”

“…Platforms have been developed in this field to assist in design, such as PDSIDES (Platform for Decision Support in the Design of Engineered Systems), which is designed to facilitate end-to-end digital integration, customization, agile collaboration networks, open innovation, co-creation, crowdsourcing and product servitization. On the other hand, Metrology, which has associated the tools of the Fourth Industrial Revolution with its applications and development, is known as Metrology 4.0 [84]. It is projected that Metrology 4.0 will revolutionize calibration processes by reducing times and costs and processing measurement information in real time [85].…”

Industry 4.0 is an industrial paradigm that is causing changes in form and substance in factories, companies and businesses around the world and is impacting work and education in general. In fact, the disruptive technologies that frame the Fourth Industrial Revolution have the potential to improve and optimize manufacturing processes and the entire value chain, which could lead to an exponential evolution in the production and distribution of goods and services. All these changes imply that the fields of engineering knowledge must be oriented towards the concept of Industry 4.0, for example, Mechanical Engineering. The development of various physical assets that are used by cyber-physical systems and digital twins is based on mechanics. However, the specialized literature on Industry 4.0 says little about the importance of mechanics in the new industrial era, and more importance is placed on the evolution of Information and Communication Technologies and artificial intelligence. This article presents a frame of reference for the importance of Mechanical Engineering in Industry 4.0 and proposes an extension to the concept of Mechanics 4.0, recently defined as the relationship between mechanics and artificial intelligence. To analyze Mechanical Engineering in Industry 4.0, the criteria of the four driving forces that defined mechanics in the Third Industrial Revolution were used. An analysis of Mechanical Engineering Education in Industry 4.0 is presented, and the concept of Mechanical Engineering 4.0 Education is improved. Finally, the importance of making changes to the educational models of engineering education is described.

One of the key aspects of the automation of machining processes is the elimination of manual measurements. This is crucial in the production of precision parts, where the absence of in-process control can lead to an increased number of non-compliant parts, resulting in financial losses for the company. In addition to economic considerations, environmental care is a fundamental requirement for manufacturing companies. While many efforts focus on finding environmentally friendly coolants or reducing machining time, researchers often overlook the impact of the measurement method on the balanced development of machining. The conditions inside CNC machines are quite demanding in terms of maintaining measurement stability. For this reason, this paper presents a comparative study of two types of machine inspection probes. The influence of the measurement axis and the effect of returning the probe to the magazine on the accuracy of the measurement were examined. This study revealed that the probe with a kinematic resistive design has a higher measurement uncertainty (2.7 µm) than a probe based on strain gauges (0.6 µm). This paper emphasizes the positive impact of the conducted activity on the sustainability of machining, highlighting benefits such as resource savings, energy savings, and positive effects on the health and safety of operators.
