Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Following the success of the previous Special Issue, “Intelligent Factory 4.0: Advanced Production and Automation Systems” (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/machines/special_issues/Intelligent_Factory), we are pleased to announce the next in the series, titled “Intelligent Factory 4.0: Advanced Production and Automation Systems, Volume II.”
The Fourth Industrial Revolution (Industry 4.0) capitalizes on the implementation of digitization and automation in manufacturing and production systems. These solutions make it possible to improve the efficiency of production processes, and thus, overall industrial activity. Therefore, it is important to design and control increasingly complex industrial cyber-physical systems.
In this regard, the main goal of this Special Issue is to promote advanced research in the field of intelligent manufacturing systems within the context of Industry 4.0. These studies should focus on the integration, development, and improvement of production processes. Submissions detailing research in the field of the automation of production processes, as well as those that explore the development of digital twins, are highly desirable. Practical experiences, through the description of case studies and original solutions as part of industrial activities, will bring significant value. Additionally, theoretical works, including methodological and procedural considerations about smart manufacturing systems and their detailed processes, are of interest to this Special Issue.
Dr. Krzysztof Żywicki
