The Seventh International Conference on Advanced Production and Industrial Engineering (ICAPIE-22) was held during 11–12 June 2022. It was organized by Centre for Advanced Production and Industrial Engineering Research (CAPIER) – Delhi Technological University (DTU).

The prime motive of ICAPIE-22 was to seek new windows for discoveries and exploration in Design, Materials, and Manufacturing, which plays a major role in almost all fields of scientific growth, and to provide an arena for showcasing these advancements and research endeavours being undertaken in all parts of the world. We have the privilege to host a congregation of world-renowned scholars and experts as keynote speakers, who gathered for the conference and grace us with their words of wisdom in their fields of expertise. We feel proud in saying that in comparison to the last three years, we have received a larger number of technical papers with rich content, comprising path-breaking research from participants from various institutes.

We express our deep sense of gratitude to our Vice-Chancellor Prof. J. P. Saini, Chief patron for his keen interest in promoting research in the Delhi Technological University and for always been an inspiration for achieving greater heights.

The organizers are grateful to all authors and participants who have made significant contributions in the form of their papers.

We also thank Dr. Harish Kumar, HoD (Mechanical Engineering), National Institute of Technology Delhi, and the reviewers for their constructive suggestions to improve the manuscripts. We also thank IOS Press for their constructive comments and suggestions which helped in bringing the best quality work in the form of this publication, without which it would not have been possible to come up with this proceedings.
