Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine learning have revolutionized various industries by enabling the automation, optimization, and predictive analytics of processes. In recent years, these technologies have been increasingly applied in industrial settings to enhance efficiency and decision-making operations. This Special Issue aims to explore the latest advancements, challenges, and opportunities associated with machine learning and generative AI in industrial applications. Industry 5.0 is expected to create new paradigms of human–AI collaboration and enhance productivity and safety when performing complex tasks.

The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the following:

  • Machine learning algorithms for predictive maintenance in manufacturing
  • Generative AI for design optimization in engineering
  • Deep learning for quality control in production processes
  • AI-driven decision support systems for industrial operations
  • Applications of machine learning in energy management and sustainability
  • Applications such as digital twins and supply chain management
  • Case studies and real-world implementations of machine learning in industrial settings

We invite researchers, practitioners, and experts to submit their original research papers, reviews, and surveys to this Special Issue. Extended conference papers are also welcome, but they should comprise at least 50% new material, e.g., in the form of technical extensions, more in-depth evaluations, or additional use cases. Submissions will undergo a rigorous peer-review process to ensure their high quality and relevance to the theme of the Special Issue.

IEC 61131-3 is an international standard for developing standardized software for automation and control systems. Machine vision systems are a prominent technology in the field of computer vision and are widely used in various industries, such as manufacturing, robotics, healthcare, and automotive, and are often combined with AI technologies. In industrial automation systems, software developed for defect detection or product classification typically involves separate systems for automation and machine vision programs, leading to increased system complexity and unnecessary resource wastage. To address these limitations, this study proposes an IEC 61131-3-based integrated development environment for programmable machine vision. We selected 11 APIs commonly used in machine vision systems, evaluated their functions in an IEC 61131-3 compliant development environment, and measured the performance of representative machine vision applications. This approach demonstrates the feasibility of developing PLC and machine vision programs within a single-controller system. We investigated the impact of controller performance on function execution.
