Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Industry 4.0 paradigm is boosting the relevance of sensors and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies in the manufacturing and production industries. Some of the primary opportunities offered by Industry 4.0 are predictive maintenance (PdM), which makes use of condition monitoring data to diagnose and prognose anomalies in production processes, manufacturing equipment, and products; smart factory automation that enhances efficiency and reduces human error by automating repetitive tasks; enhanced supply chain management that uses IoT sensor data to enable real-time tracking of materials, products, and shipments; and data-driven decision making that analyzes the data to provide insights into operations, customer behavior, and market trends. Industry 4.0 strongly relies on IoT, which digitalizes physical actions, enabling human-to-human, human-to-machine, and machine-to-machine connections for intelligent perception.
This Special Issue of Sensors is entitled ‘Sensors and IoT Technologies for the Smart Industry’. It seeks papers that present recent achievements in the area and enable the community to address some of the existing challenges associated with the smart industry, particularly those related to the development and deployment of IoT-enabled solutions. We are interested in contributions that address one or more aspects of the whole data lifecycle, from intelligent sensing and data acquisition to efficient data storage, data analysis, and visualization. This Special Issue particularly welcomes papers that present intelligent algorithms and approaches to converting the collected data into meaningful information to enable decision support for smart industry applications.
The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the following topics:
- Intelligent sensors and actuators for the smart industry;
- Smart grid, smart agriculture, smart factories, smart cities, smart buildings, smart ports, and smart transport;
- Predictive maintenance (PdM);
- Prognostics and health management (PHM);
- Enhanced supply chain management;
- Data-driven decision making for Industry 4.0;
- Development and deployment of IoT-enabled solutions for the smart industry.

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.
