OBJECTIVES AND SCOPE OF APMS 2025

APMS 2025 brings together leading international experts in manufacturing, service, and logistics systems from academia, industry, and government to explore cutting-edge developments in Cyber-Physical-Human Production Systems (CPHPS).

The conference will address key challenges and advancements in smart factories and warehouses, autonomous production systems, sustainable supply chains, and human-centric AI applications. Special attention will be given to how human capabilities can be integrated with AI insights to optimize next-generation production systems and meet societal responsibilities.

The conference will feature original, high-impact academic contributions, which will be published in the Springer Series AICT. The conference is sponsored by the International Federation of Information Processing (IFIP) and organized by IFIP Working Group 5.7, established in 1978.
