Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are inviting submissions to the Special Issue on “Manufacturing IoT and Manufacturing Big Data”. The Special Issue aims to provide a high-level international publishing platform for experts and scholars to report the newest developments and latest practice in manufacturing IoT, manufacturing big data, smart manufacturing, and industrial engineering and logistics. The Special Issue will focus on the state-of-the-art theories and technologies of manufacturing IoT, big data for smart manufacturing, digital-twin-driving intelligent manufacturing, industrial engineering and intelligent logistics (exploring how the emerging technologies utilize the concept of smart production), and innovative design and service in manufacturing, including but not limited to the following topics:

  • Intelligent manufacturing method systems for industrial big data, manufacturing big data analysis models and algorithms (e.g., imbalanced learning, few-shot learning, positive-unlabeled (PU) learning, zero-shot learning, and modeling methods under various operating conditions), new generation of artificial intelligence methods, etc.;
  • Manufacturing big data perception, manufacturing big data integration, manufacturing big data modeling, CPS technology, manufacturing data platforms, edge computing, etc.;
  • Intelligent product design, intelligent workshop analysis and optimization, intelligent product operation and maintenance, PHM and predictive maintenance, digital-twin-driving intelligent manufacturing, intelligent logistics, etc.;
  • Industrial digitalization and digital industrialization: models, algorithms, and scenarios of big data and real economy, key technologies for marketization of data elements, etc.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue

  • Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
  • Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
  • Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
  • External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
  • e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.

Production lines face numerous challenges to meet market demands, including constant changes in products that require continuous adjustments. Efficient and rapid reconfiguration and adaptation of production processes are crucial. In cases of inadequate adaptation, bottlenecks can arise due to human errors or incorrect configurations, often introducing complexity in pinpointing the root cause and resulting in financial losses. Furthermore, improper machine maintenance contributes to this situation as well. This article seeks to establish a framework grounded in the contemporary smart factory, the IIoT, the Industry 4.0 paradigm, and Big Data. The proposed system places emphasis on leveraging real-time data analysis for predicting risks, while concurrently conducting a thorough analysis of historical data to monitor trends and enhance bottleneck identification. The defined architecture operates across multiple levels, acquiring real-time information and generating historical data for training and continuous optimization. Predictive results contribute to decision-making and assist in mitigating bottlenecks in manufacturing lines. Full article

Under the premise of resource constraint, it is crucial to identify the product innovation opportunities contained in failed patents through external search in order to compensate for the shortcomings of enterprises’ own technology. Due to the cost of patent research and development and the risk of infringement, this paper constructs a product innovation identification path that integrates the FOS and BERTopic model from the perspective of invalid patents. The path consists of three stages, including the identification of the problem to be solved by the product based on functional analysis, the extraction of the subject matter elements based on the core failed patent technology, and the generation and evaluation of innovative solutions based on TRIZ theory and the best- worst method (BWM). Finally, the feasibility of the path constructed in this paper is verified by taking a slurry pump as an example. The application results show that the product innovation identification path constructed in this paper can provide theoretical support for enterprises to carry out technological innovation activities efficiently.
