Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In the current era, the rapid progress of artificial intelligence (AI) has led to the implementation of various AI techniques to ensure equipment and production reliability, safety, and quality, as well as to prevent unexpected failures within smart manufacturing systems. The widespread application of AI techniques presents new opportunities in the realm of smart manufacturing, particularly in the domains of intelligent fault diagnosis, prognosis, and surface defect detection. These AI-supported approaches are proficient in analyzing industrial signals or images to monitor the health and functionality of machines or products, showcasing significant potential to enhance the safety and efficiency of smart manufacturing practices. The proposed Special Issue on artificial-intelligence-driven intelligent fault prediction and health management techniques in manufacturing systems is dedicated to exploring the theories, methodologies, and practical applications of AI techniques within smart manufacturing environments. Researchers are encouraged to leverage various industrial data sources, such as signals, images, or videos, to diagnose and predict the operational status of machines and products.

This Special Issue aims to explore innovative applications of AI in the domains of intelligent fault diagnosis, prognosis, and surface defect detection. We invite contributions that delve into the theoretical foundations, methodological frameworks, and practical implementations of AI-driven techniques in manufacturing systems.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:

  • AI applications in intelligent fault diagnosis and prediction;
  • AI-supported industrial signal and image analysis;
  • AI-driven machine and product health management methods;
  • AI-driven fault prediction and health management techniques in smart manufacturing systems;
  • Industrial big data analytics and AI fusion in smart manufacturing systems.

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. Sensors 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 2600 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.
