Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Nowadays, digital technologies are becoming the main factor fostering the development of modern industries. They affect all industry fields and aspects, from orders and resource management to final product delivery and maintenance.

In this upcoming Special Issue, titled "Digital Technologies Enabling Modern Industries", we aim to highlight the transformative power of digital technologies in reshaping modern industries. This Special Issue is dedicated to uncovering how advancements in robotics, artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things (IoT), and other digital innovations are synergizing to redefine traditional practices, enhance productivity, and facilitate sustainable growth. The focus ranges from the deployment of robotic solutions in complex environments to the seamless integration of AI for smarter decision making and operational efficiency. Robotics, central to this transformation, are evolving beyond their conventional roles, driven by breakthroughs in perception, navigation, grasping techniques, natural language processing, and many other aspects. These technologies are enabling autonomous operations in diverse landscapes and enhance synergy with human workers. Simultaneously, sensors and the IoT, technologies that stand at the forefront of the digital revolution, are another pivotal aspect within this Special Issue. These technologies are instrumental in creating interconnected ecosystems within industries, allowing for the seamless collection, transmission, and analysis of data.

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.
