Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the realization of cyber–physical systems introduced in the fourth stage of industrialization, industry 4.0 is leading the manufacturing process into the smart factory era. To help with smart manufacturing, IT-based integrations are being studied and implemented such as the horizontal integration of inter-corporation value networks, vertical integration inside factories and the end-to-end integration of the engineering value chain.
To allow machines connected as a collaborative community and to produce products based on analyzed feedback data, we rely on the IoT and cloud technologies to build smart factories. With the pervasive trends of collecting big data from IoT sensors and of analyzing data using machine learning or AI technologies, come novel methods to control or change the way physical goods are produced in all industrial sectors.
This includes important issues for smart factories, including how to smartly balance and compensate the work load and stress for each machine according to its individual health condition, how to produce quality products and maintain excellent machine performance, how to integrate various networks. This Special Issue therefore will therefore cover industry 4.0, industrial IoT, smart manufacturing, predictive maintenance, and cloud solutions for smart factory. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Internet architecture, protocols and application
- Internet operation and management for smart factories
- Industrial IoT, robotics and AI applications
Big data, machine learning and AI for industry 4.0 - Preventive/predictive maintenance for smart factories
- Cloud solutions and edge computing for smart factories
- Secure and scalable SCADA systems
- Data security and privacy in smart factories
- Cyber–physical systems (CPS)
- Conditional monitoring and control for intelligent manufacturing
- Wireless sensor and actuator networks in manufacturing
- Secure protocols for industrial applications

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. Future Internet is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 1600 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.
