Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Smart industrial electronics are increasingly embedded in connected, data-intensive and adaptive industrial environments. This evolution is driven by the tighter integration of industrial electronics with enterprise and operational information systems—such as IIoT platforms, SCADA, MES, ERP, PLM, edge/cloud infrastructures and industrial data platforms—enabling real-time visibility, automated coordination and more informed control and decision-making.
This Special Issue focuses on architectures, methods and applications that advance the integration of information systems with smart industrial electronics. We aim to highlight robust, interoperable and secure solutions that support industrial monitoring, diagnostics, optimization and operational excellence across manufacturing and industrial services. Contributions that combine technical depth with validated implementations, prototypes, or industrial case studies are especially encouraged.
- Submissions may include, but are not limited to, the following topics:
- Integration architectures linking SCADA/MES/ERP/PLM with smart industrial devices and controllers;
- Industrial IoT platforms, industrial data pipelines and event-driven industrial information systems;
- Edge–cloud collaboration for low-latency monitoring, analytics and control;
- Data acquisition, sensor networks, condition monitoring and predictive maintenance systems;
- AI/ML for fault detection, anomaly detection, quality prediction and process optimization;
- Interoperability, data models and standards (e.g., OPC UA, industrial middleware, digital thread concepts);
- Real-time communication, reliability, safety and resilience in integrated industrial environments;
- Cybersecurity, privacy and trust for connected industrial electronics and information systems;
- Human–machine interaction (HMI), decision support and visualization for industrial operations;
- Reference architectures, benchmarking, datasets and comparative evaluations;
- Industrial use cases and pilot deployments with measurable operational impact.
We welcome original research articles and high-quality review papers. By fostering interdisciplinary exchange, this Special Issue aims to advance integrated information system solutions that enhance the performance, reliability and security of smart industrial electronics in modern industry.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Electronics 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.
