Industrial Engineering Needs a Revolution to Become Effective and Sustainable: An Exhaustive Review and Outlook † Avinash Somatkar, Mahendra U. Gaikwad, Pramodkumar Bagade, Mukund R. Kharde, Vaishali M. Dhede Engineering Proceedings, 2025 Industrial engineering has long served as a cornerstone of productivity and efficiency in manufacturing environments by focusing on the design and optimization of machinery, processes, and systems. However, its application has largely remained confined within the traditional boundaries of factory floors. This narrow scope has limited its potential in addressing broader, systemic challenges in a rapidly evolving industrial landscape. This research identifies a significant gap: despite its foundational role in operations, industrial engineering has not fully adapted to the demands of Industry 4.0 and the emerging paradigms of Industry 5.0, which emphasize human–machine harmony, sustainability, and adaptability. This paper advocates for a revolution in industrial engineering—one that transcends conventional methods and redefines the discipline through open-minded innovation, universal applicability, and immediate transformation. The novelty of this review lies in its conceptual framework that promotes optimization as a mindset rather than a rigid methodology. It argues that industrial engineering must evolve into a dynamic discipline capable of creative problem-solving, unrestricted by outdated procedures or limited applications. This paper outlines three key transformations required to achieve this revolution: (1) the universal application of industrial engineering principles beyond traditional domains; (2) the prioritization of innovation and creativity over procedural optimization; and (3) the urgency of immediate implementation. By challenging conventional thinking and encouraging the development of novel, potentially patentable approaches, this study aims to position industrial engineering at the forefront of technological revolutions and socio-technical change. This revolutionary perspective is intended to guide both academics and practitioners in embracing a more fluid, adaptive, and forward-looking role, ensuring that industrial engineering remains relevant and impactful in shaping the future of global industry in the context of Industry 4.0 and beyond.
Gain enhancement of Microstrip patch Antenna Array by using substrate integrated waveguide for wireless communication system Vaishali R. Ekke, Prasanna L. Zade International Conference on Automatic Control and Dynamic Optimization Techniques Icacdot 2016, 2017 A new approach is investigated to enhance the gain of Microstrip Antenna Array using the substrate integrated waveguide (SIW). Integration of SIW is implemented firstly in single microstrip antenna and then in 4×1 array. Rectangular microstrip antenna array is backed with SIW cavity is designed to improve gain as well as bandwidth for wireless communication applications. Proposed antenna array acquires advantage of easy integration. Improvement in results is presented using simulation output of reflection coefficient, VSWR, and gain. Bandwidth is improved up to 10.98 % at frequency 2.3 – 2.5 GHz. The new approach gives an improvement in gain by 9.434 dB.

Gain enhancement of microstrip patch antenna array with AMC structure using multilayer PCB technology Vaishali Ekke, Prasanna Zade Communications in Computer and Information Science, 2016 Placement of artificial magnetic conductor (AMC) structures at the inset feed line of the patch operating at 2.4 GHz is analyzed. Proposed design for four element patch array using AMC with multilayer PCB technology which gives improvement in return loss and gain. Analysis had done for low cost stack up material for multilayer purpose. FR4 epoxy finally used as stack up material which is low cost and ease to fabricate. In antenna array AMC structure at the feed line considerably reduce side lobe level and back lobe level and improves gain. Simulated results are validated experimentally.
Design and implementation of T-junction triangular microstrip patch antenna array for wireless applications Vaishali R. Ekke, Prasanna L. Zade International Journal of Engineering and Technology, 2016 — This paper describes 2 x 2 triangular microstrip patch antenna using T-junction with quarter wave transformer. By regulating the distance in patch antenna and adjusting feed position, bandwidth can be obtained and by using an array, directivity is enhanced. The requirement of large bandwidth, high directivity, and minimum size leads to the design of 2 x 2 triangular microstrip patch antenna array feeding with T-junction network operate at 5.5 GHz. An antenna designed on an FR4 substrate that had a dielectric constant (r) 4.4, a loss tangent 0.02 and thickness of 1.6 mm. Simulated results showed that designed antenna has directivity 12.91 dB and bandwidth 173 MHz with VSWR 1.07 using T-junction feeding network. The proposed 2 x 2 triangular array has the benefit of light weight, simplicity of fabrication, single layer structure, and high directivity.

Design and implementation of artificial magnetic conductor structure along with feed line for microstrip patch antenna array Ekke Vaishali R., P. L. Zade Proceedings 2014 IEEE Global Conference on Wireless Computing and Networking Gcwcn 2014, 2015 This paper presents new design of artificial magnetic conductor structure along with feed line. 4 × 1 microstrip patch antenna array using AMC improves performance of antenna. AMC structures are used in design low profile antennas. High gain, minimum size and larger band width required for communication system. This leads to design patch antenna array. So this paper presents four element microstrip patch antenna array with artificial magnetic conductor structure. It uses FR4_epoxy as dielectric substrate. 4 × 1 microstrip patch antenna array is designed using HFSS simulation software. Simulation and measured results are compared.
