About
Roman Flaig is a researcher at the intersection of production engineering and sustainability, whose work explores how Industry 4.0 technologies can be harnessed for environmental and social good. His key research areas include the Internet of Production (IoP), sustainable manufacturing, and the integration of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into industrial digitalization. Flaig’s major contribution lies in articulating how the IoP—a vision for data-driven, interconnected production systems—can move beyond mere efficiency gains to actively address global challenges like climate change. His most-cited paper, “Sustainability in the Internet of Production: Interdisciplinary Opportunities and Challenges” (2023, 2 citations), serves as a foundational call to action, mapping the interdisciplinary pathways for aligning advanced manufacturing with ecological imperatives. While early in his citation trajectory, this work signals a timely and necessary pivot in production research. Flaig’s notable achievement is framing the IoP not just as a technical frontier but as a platform for holistic sustainability, bridging engineering, policy, and ethics. For students and researchers, his profile offers a compelling model of how to embed planetary boundaries into the core of next-generation manufacturing research.
