Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Manufacturing companies face two major trends affecting their business: intelligent automatization and collaboration. After the first wave of digitization, new and modernized technologies such as integrated sensors, advanced robotics, and artificial intelligence led to the so-called Smart Manufacturing as part of Industry 4.0. Collaboration between the human operators and machines are completed thanks to the collaborative robots. Companies have realized that they still need humans at the shop floor besides high-level automation. This realization creates a new generation of the industrial revolution. Industry 5.0 brings human workers back to the factory floors. The Fifth Industrial Revolution will pair humans and machines to utilize human creativity to further increase process efficiency by combining workflows with intelligent systems. While the primary concern in Industry 4.0 is about automation, Industry 5.0 will be a synergy between humans and autonomous machines.
With the rapid development of innovative technologies, such as artificial intelligence methods, big data and cloud computing, the new concept of Industry 5.0 has been revolutionizing production and logistics systems by introducing collaborative processes and data-based operator support (so-called Operator 4.0). This Special Issue aims to disseminate advanced research in the theory and application of collaboration in the manufacturing industries (also known by some experts as Industry 5.0).
The main focus of this session is the invitation of high-quality, state-of-the-art research papers that deal with challenging issues in Industry 5.0. We solicit original papers of unpublished and completed research not currently under review by any other conference/magazine/journal.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Human–machine interface in IIoT for industrial applications;
- Digital Twin, Device Models, Adaptive- and Automation-Models;
- Human–machine interfaces (HMI) and SCADA supervisory systems;
- Human factors, industrial ergonomics, and safety in smart maintenance;
- Industrial applications of the Internet of Things;
- AI- or ML-based maintenance;
- Risk analysis for Industry Production Systems;
- Smart Manufacturing;
- Smart logistics related to industrial applications;
- Cyberphysical systems;
- Industrial sensor networks;
- Combinations of sensors/sensor networks and Augmented Reality in industrial environments;
- Real-time locating in production and logistics;
- Process modelling and simulation.

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.
