Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, entitled “Computer-Integrated Manufacturing in Industry 4.0/5.0”, aims to explore the advanced methodologies, technologies, and strategies that drive the evolution of smart manufacturing systems. With the integration of Industry 4.0 and emergence of Industry 5.0 concepts, modern manufacturing environments are witnessing unprecedented levels of connectivity, automation, and data-driven decision-making. This Special Issue welcomes the submission of research on key technologies, including artificial intelligence, cyber–physical systems, digital twins, Internet of Things (IoT), edge and cloud computing, and big data analytics. Furthermore, it explores collaborative robotics, human-centered manufacturing, and enhanced cybersecurity measures that are critical for resilient and secure manufacturing ecosystems.
The scope of this Special Issue spans the transformation of traditional manufacturing processes to highly adaptive, efficient, and personalized systems that not only optimize operational workflows but also enhance the interaction between workers and machines. We welcome the submission of studies that address the novel application of AI for predictive maintenance, augmented and virtual reality for training, the use of digital twins for real-time monitoring, and security frameworks that safeguard interconnected industrial environments. This Special Issue will serve as a platform for researchers and industry experts to contribute insights that support the seamless integration of advanced technologies into manufacturing, ultimately enhancing productivity, sustainability, and adaptability in the face of rapidly evolving industrial demands.

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. 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).
