Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Recent scientific and technological evolutions are leading to a better-connected world. In this context, production systems engineering must be flexible, reliable, and correspond to the constant more efficient demand from clients of products and services. Aspects related with design, implementation, and maintenance of those systems are crucial for the expected behavior from respective users. This Special Issue considers all of the steps in the developmental process, from theoretical study and the development of innovative solutions to the implementation and maintenance of such systems during their cycle of life, contributing to a more sustainable and better world that is concerned with sustainability and efficiency of all involved stakeholders in this complex achievement.

The scope of this Special Issue is closely associated with that of the ISPEM’2023 conference. This conference and Special Issue are to present the current innovations and engineering achievements of scientists and industrial practitioners in the thematic areas described above.

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

  • Production Systems Management and Maintenance;
  • Industry 4.0 and Industry 5.0;
  • Modelling, Simulation, and Design;
  • Production Planning and Scheduling;
  • Maintenance Planning and Scheduling;
  • Intelligent Methods in Production and Maintenance;
  • Manufacturing Technology and System Engineering;
  • Supply Chain Management;
  • Reliability and Risk Assessment;
  • Control and Supervision;
  • Robotics;
  • Automation Measuring Systems and Sensors;
  • Cyber-Physical Systems;
  • Cloud and Distributed Manufacturing;
  • Human Aspects in Industry;
  • Advanced Aerospace Material and Composites;
  • Machining/Forming of Advanced Materials.

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. Applied Sciences 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 2400 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.

Faults in this sensor must be detected on time to ensure the functionality of the entire system’s architecture and to maintain system balance, which will keep false positive rates low during the system’s operational period. False positives reduce diagnostic confidence and necessitate unnecessary and costly mitigation actions, lowering system productivity. It is on this basis that this study proposes a clustering model algorithm (K-mean clustering) to investigate and manage the reliability and performance of the sensors. The results from the implementation of the K-mean clustering method show that the running of the algorithm fits the model correctly, both for the training of the dataset and for the prediction of the cluster in each of the datasets considered. A reasonable grouping was found for the two and three clusters considered, which are represented by the colors (blue, orange, and green). These colors indicate the fault state, non-fault state, normal state, and abnormal state of the non-intrusive continuous sensor. The simulated results show the fault state in the blue region and the non-fault state in the orange region for the two clusters, while the normal state is in the blue region and the abnormal state is in the orange and green regions for the three clusters considered.

Logistics processes, their effective planning as well as proper management and effective implementation are of key importance in an enterprise. This article analyzes the process of supplying raw materials necessary for the implementation of production tasks. The specificity of the examined waste processing company requires the knowledge about the size of potential deliveries because the delivered waste must be properly managed and stored due to its toxicity to the natural environment. In the article, hidden Markov models were used to assess the level of supply. They are a statistical modeling tool used to analyze and predict the phenomena of a sequence of events. It is not always possible to provide sufficiently reliable information with the existing classical methods in this regard. Therefore, the article proposes modeling techniques with the help of stochastic processes. In hidden Markov models, the system is represented as a Markov process with states that are invisible to the observer but with a visible output (observation) that is a random state function. In the article, the distribution of outputs from the hidden states is defined by a polynomial distribution. Full article
