Computer-Integrated Manufacturing in Industry 4.0/5.0

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.
