     In recent years, Intelligent Manufacturing, characterized by the extensive application of artificial intelligence(AI), has become a trend of development in the field of advanced manufacturing. The intelligentized welding technology has deservedly become one of the highly active directions of intelligent manufacturing. The intelligentized welding manufacturing (IWM) deals with complex information, networking and intelligent technology during the whole process of welding product manufacturing, including a wide range of welding materials, structures, technics, processes, equipment and systems, products and market. Therefore, it is imperative to research and develop intelligentized manufacturing welding technology.

     It is under such a background, the Robotics & Automation Committee of Chinese Welding Society (CWS), co-sponsored by other academic institutions of the CWS, successfully launched and held the “2017 International Workshop on Intelligentized Welding Manufacturing (IWIWM '2017)" in Shanghai, on June 23-25, 2017. AS a series of IWIWM conferences every two years, the second IWIWM Conference, IWIWM2019-SH was held on Nov.6-8 in Shanghai, China and the IWIWM2019-LEX on Nov.8-10 in Lexington, Kentucky, USA, separately. This year,the“2021 International Workshop on Intelligentized Welding Manufacturing-IWIWM '2021” will be organized by Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU),China and Nanyang Technological University(NTU), Singapore.
