Abstract
Efficient energy utilization and waste reduction are imperative for sustainable mechanical engineering practices. This paper explores the integration of green energy sources and intelligent manufacturing techniques to enhance sustainability in the mechanical engineering sector. Through quantitative analysis and case studies, the efficacy of energy-efficient technologies, waste reduction strategies, and the adoption of green energy sources are examined. Additionally, the role of smart process automation and digital twin simulation in optimizing resource utilization and operational efficiency is discussed. The findings underscore the potential of integrating sustainable practices into mechanical engineering processes, contributing to environmental conservation, cost savings, and competitiveness.
