About

Victor Azamfirei is a rising researcher at the forefront of sustainable and intelligent manufacturing, whose work bridges the critical gap between circular economy principles and zero-defect production. His research centers on three interconnected pillars: circular manufacturing strategies, robotic in-line quality inspection, and measurement-assisted assembly systems. Azamfirei’s most impactful contribution is his comprehensive 2025 critical review on product reuse and repurposing in circular manufacturing, which has already garnered 23 citations by synthesizing 115 articles to map key challenges and future pathways for sustainable industry. He is also a leading voice in advancing Zero-Defect Manufacturing (ZDM), with his 2023 study on adopting robotic in-line quality inspection in Swedish industry (10 citations) providing vital lessons on overcoming implementation barriers. His work on harmonising design and manufacturing through quality inspection (7 citations) and his pioneering case study on fixtureless robotic measurement-assisted assembly demonstrate his commitment to practical, flexible solutions for Industry 4.0. Azamfirei’s 2023 science and technology roadmap for robotic in-line inspection further solidifies his role in shaping the strategic direction of smart manufacturing. Through his integrated focus on sustainability, quality, and automation, Azamfirei is helping define how future factories can achieve both environmental responsibility and manufacturing excellence.
