Abstract: This edition of RAE is entirely composed of full-length manuscripts selected amongst works presented at Congrega'24, the 1 st Ibero-American Congress on Engineering Asset Management & 2 nd Portuguese Congress on Engineering Asset Management, which took place from 3-5 July 2024 in Lisbon with the theme "Sustainable and Digital Innovation in Engineering Asset Management".One of the recurrent debates in Congrega'24 was about digitalization and the use of new technologies in industrial maintenance and asset management.This topic has been attracting much attention globally (GFMAM, 2024; Crespo, 2024), and this editorial provides a commentary of this specific issue.The adoption of new technologies in industrial environments not only raises operational performance to higher levels but also generates a significant impact on business sustainability.With advanced capabilities that enable more accurate, predictive and efficient maintenance, companies are able to reduce material waste, minimize energy consumption and extend the life of assets (de Almeida Pais et al., 2021).This positive impact translates into lower operating costs and a significant reduction in environmental impact, aligning operations with more responsible and sustainable standards.
