Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The fourth industrial revolution, known as Industry 4.0, can provide and integrate many advanced technologies for automation so as to contribute to the operational efficiency and effectiveness of production processes, particularly, the process of combining smart machines and systems. The key technologies of Industry 4.0 are cyber-physical systems, Internet of things (IoT), big data analytics, cloud computing, machine learning, artificial intelligence, visualization, virtual reality, and autonomous robots towards practical applications in many industrial areas. To enhance the reliability of Industry 4.0, researchers from many fields and industries have to work together applying the new technologies in practical applications to provide secure online monitoring and control. This special issue aims to encourage scholars and researchers to present research achievements of state-of-the-art technologies with respect to reliable Industry 4.0 based on machine learning and IoT.

Authors are encouraged to submit papers in any of the following potential topics or related areas of Industry 4.0.

Deep learning is a cutting-edge image processing method that is still relatively new but produces reliable results. Leaf disease detection and categorization employ a variety of deep learning approaches. Tomatoes are one of the most popular vegetables and can be found in every kitchen in various forms, no matter the cuisine. After potato and sweet potato, it is the third most widely produced crop. The second-largest tomato grower in the world is India. However, many diseases affect the quality and quantity of tomato crops. This article discusses a deep-learning-based strategy for crop disease detection. A Convolutional-Neural-Network-based technique is used for disease detection and classification. Inside the model, two convolutional and two pooling layers are used. The results of the experiments show that the proposed model outperformed pre-trained InceptionV3, ResNet 152, and VGG19. The CNN model achieved 98% training accuracy and 88.17% testing accuracy. Full article

Education 4.0 imitates Industry 4.0 in many aspects such as technology, customs, challenges, and benefits. The remarkable advancement in embryonic technologies, including IoT (Internet of Things), Fog Computing, Cloud Computing, and Augmented and Virtual Reality (AR/VR), polishes every dimension of Industry 4.0. The constructive impacts of Industry 4.0 are also replicated in Education 4.0. Real-time assessment, irregularity detection, and alert generation are some of the leading necessities of Education 4.0. Conspicuously, this study proposes a reliable assessment, irregularity detection, and alert generation framework for Education 4.0. The proposed framework correspondingly addresses the comparable issues of Industry 4.0. The proposed study (1) recommends the use of IoT, Fog, and Cloud Computing, i.e., IFC technological integration for the implementation of Education 4.0. Subsequently, (2) the Symbolic Aggregation Approximation (SAX), Kalman Filter, and Learning Bayesian Network (LBN) are deployed for data pre-processing and classification. Further, (3) the assessment, irregularity detection, and alert generation are accomplished over SoTL (the set of threshold limits) and the Multi-Layered Bi-Directional Long Short-Term Memory (M-Bi-LSTM)-based predictive model. To substantiate the proposed framework, experimental simulations are implemented. The experimental outcomes substantiate the better performance of the proposed framework, in contrast to the other contemporary technologies deployed for the enactment of Education 4.0. Full article
