This book combines sustainable industrial innovation with artificial intelligence to achieve the automation of industries. It explores how AI is impacting the human element in industries, the cost benefit analysis of AI implementation,  streamlining of the workflow when AI is sustainably incorporated into industrial sector for automation; and the challenges and limitations faced by the researchers, corporate and policy-makers while planning, designing and operating industries automated by a sustainable AI. It contains a chapter dedicated to discussing development of a situationally aware industry using AI. 

The book presents a fresh flow of content related to sustainable computing aspects for industrial automation— importance of sustainable AI at various steps of the industrial lifecycle; chapter-wise focus on specific domains of industrial automation such as cyber physical systems, man-machine interface, industrial robotics etc., for a diverse coverage while remaining relevant to industrial automation; explores sustainability aspect of AI in terms of green practices, environmental impact, social impact, economic viability, resource-frugality etc.; dedicates separate chapters to critical topics such as survivability, information retrieval and processing and situational-awareness.

Sustainability interests the policy makers to incorporate the judicious usage of AI tools into the industry compliance regulations. Implementation of AI in industries is useful for researchers as well as practitioners. Automation of industries using AI would interest the corporate readers. Various technologies discussed in the book shall interest graduates and pre-final undergraduates for staying up-to-date with the latest terminologies.
