It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 8th Mechanical and Industrial Engineering Symposium (MIE 2025), held on 30–31 July 2025 at Universitas Gadjah Mada, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. To facilitate global participation, the symposium was conducted in a hybrid format, integrating in-person sessions with virtual access via Zoom platform. This event was proudly organized under the auspices of the Directorate of Research, Universitas Gadjah Mada.

MIE 2025 received 391 submissions from 19 countries, encompassing innovative research in mechanical and industrial engineering. Following a rigorous peer-review process, 30 high-quality papers were selected for presentation and publication in this proceedings volume. These papers address critical themes, including renewable energy systems, nanofluid thermophysical properties, Stirling engine innovations, waste-to-energy gasification, hybrid microgrids for island electrification, IoT-based manufacturing monitoring, lean and agile production systems, port layout optimization, robust scheduling models, risk mitigation frameworks, additive manufacturing with AI, and sustainable adoption of electric vehicles, among others.

Mechanical and industrial engineering represents complementary disciplines essential to technological advancement and the optimization of complex systems across industries. Mechanical engineering encompasses the design, analysis, manufacturing, and maintenance of mechanical systems, drawing on principles of physics, mathematics, and materials science to innovate solutions—from engines and vehicles to robotics and advanced manufacturing equipment. This field drives progress in automotive, aerospace, energy, and healthcare sectors, emphasizing efficiency, safety, and sustainability.

Industrial engineering, in turn, focuses on optimizing processes, systems, and organizations to enhance productivity, quality, and efficiency. It integrates engineering with mathematical and social sciences to manage interactions among people, materials, information, equipment, and energy. Employing methodologies such as lean manufacturing, Six Sigma, and systems engineering, industrial engineers minimize waste, streamline operations, and elevate performance in manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, and service industries. Together, these disciplines foster innovation and sustainable development amid contemporary societal challenges.

We extend our profound gratitude to all authors for their invaluable contributions, and to the keynote and invited speakers—Prof. Shigeki Nakauchi (Toyohashi University of Technology, Japan), Prof. Bradley P. Ladewig (University of Luxembourg, Luxembourg), Prof. Abraham Cárdenas Tristán (Universidad Autónoma de San Luis Potosí, Mexico), Prof. Jian Xiong (Harbin Institute of Technology, China), Dr. Filip Biljecki (National University of Singapore, Singapore), Prof. Tutik Dwi Wahyuningsih (Universitas Gadjah Mada, Indonesia), Prof. Yulfian Aminanda (Universiti Teknologi Brunei, Brunei Darussalam), and Dr. Iman Santoso (Universitas Gadjah Mada, Indonesia)—for their erudite presentations and expertise.

We also express sincere appreciation to the scientific committee for their meticulous oversight of the peer-review process and to the organizing committee for their unwavering commitment to the symposium's seamless execution.

It is our earnest hope that this proceedings volume will serve as both a definitive record of cutting-edge advancements in mechanical and industrial engineering and a catalyst for future research, innovation, and international collaboration. May MIE 2025 mark a pivotal milestone in your scholarly and professional journey, advancing the frontiers of engineering and natural sciences.
