Smart Manufacturing in the Era of Industry 4.0, 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

It is my pleasure to invite you to submit your research findings to this Special Issue, entitled “Smart Manufacturing in the Era of Industry 4.0, 2nd Edition”, of the Journal of Manufacturing and Materials Processing, published by MDPI. In the era of Industry 4.0, a wave of new scientific and technological breakthroughs, such as artificial intelligence, cyber-physical systems, robotics, automation, digital transformation, digital twinning, additive manufacturing, the Internet of Things (IoT), and sensor fusion, has pushed the boundaries of manufacturing realms and enabled the inception of smart manufacturing.

The aim of this Special Issue is to compile recent advancements and innovations in the research domains that enable smart manufacturing and the processing of materials. High-quality contributions that demonstrate substantial advancements and applications, with emphases on smart manufacturing and materials processing, will be considered for publication in this Special Issue. The desired topics of contributions include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Artificial intelligence in manufacturing and materials processing;
• Cyber-physical systems;
• Industrial robotics and automation;
• Digital transformation;
• Digital twinning;
• Additive manufacturing;
• The Internet of Things (IoT);
• Sensor fusion.
