Abstract: The rising demand for energy in the manufacturing industry has led to huge environmental and economic problems, and it is urgent to improve the energy efficiency of the manufacturing industry. The research on energy-efficient manufacturing (EEM) has become a hot issue in the field of manufacturing systems and has attracted more attentions. To analyze the current domestic and foreign trends in more details, based on the author 's research in the field of EEM, the theory and applications research status on EEM are reviewed. Firstly, on the basis of the connotation of energy efficiency of manufacturing system, the content framework of EEM research is constructed from three levels, which are machine tool equipment, processing technology and manufacturing workshop. Then, the latest research at home and abroad under the content framework of EEM are systematically summarized, and four challenges of EEM are summarized. Finally, the future directions of EEM are proposed.

Key words: energy-efficient manufacturing, manufacturing system, content framework, research status and future prospects
