Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special Issue, titled “Innovations in Livestock Monitoring in Agroindustry 4.0: Sensor Technologies, Signal Processing, and Computational Intelligence ”, takes a closer look at how new sensor technologies and smart systems are improving livestock monitoring. We’re on the lookout for contributions that dive into advanced sensors, IoT integration, and AI solutions, as well as digital signal processing and the development of electronic tools designed specifically for managing livestock. We’re especially interested in research that pulls these technologies together—like sensors, monitoring systems, and AI—to help improve animal health, productivity, and welfare. The goal is to highlight work that supports real-time monitoring, precision farming, and sustainable practices, all within the context of Agroindustry 4.0’s shift towards digital transformation.
