Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to identify and discuss technical challenges and recent results related to smart factories (Industry 4.0). To meet the requirements of smart factories, new sensors, processing algorithms and advanced communication networks are needed. Improvements are also required in the areas of data storage and management, efficient monitoring, effective and flexible manufacturing resource management, better system scalability, and reconfiguration. Therefore, the topics considered for this Special Issue range from smart sensors and embedded systems that already exist in the lower layer to data processing and cloud techniques in the upper layer, in order to achieve a better understanding, adjustment and performance of all industrial processes
In defining the scope of the Special Issue, we attempt to capture the main directions within Industry 4.0. There are many topics related to this Special Issue, such as the use of advanced sensors, control and mechatronics in manufacturing processes, extensive data collection and storage, extensive data analysis, feedback on industrial processes, resource support, new security challenges, etc. In addition, it can involve the so-called cybernetic physical systems, the modeling of systems through intelligent techniques and the optimization of processes in real time, among others
The topics of interests for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to:
- Advanced sensors and systems in smart factory
- Wireless sensors
- Industrial internet of things
- Mitigation of communication issues in industrial control networks
- Security in industrial sensor networks
- Industrial information integration in smart factory
- Smart sensors and data processing for energy management
- Cloud computing techniques
- Technologies for manufacturing cyber-physical systems
- Collaborative intelligent devices.
- Information coordination and interaction
- Machine learning and decision science models for data analysis
- Tools and technologies for deploying and managing big data
- Security and privacy protection

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.
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.
