New Insights in Fault Detection and Isolation Systems for Industry 4.0

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue aims to investigate the currently available state of the art in fault detection and isolation, fault diagnosis, fault tolerance, and condition-based systems applied for industry 4.0 concepts implementation.

Today, the world is witnessing a digital transformation and the industry is also undergoing this revolution, which they called Industry 4.0. This Special Issue intends to compile new contributions from areas related to fault detection and isolation systems and fault tolerance for this transformation. What has been investigated and applied in these areas, in industry 4.0, in recent years and, for example, how the greater computing power (edge, fog and cloud) and industrial internet of things have contributed to improving this kind of systems and the availability of industrial assets, improving the processes efficiency.
