Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Sustainable and energy-efficient manufacturing is a key priority in modern industry, driven by the need to reduce environmental impact while improving productivity. Advances in sensor technologies and process monitoring are critical to achieving these goals. Smart sensors enable real-time control and the optimisation of process and energy usage in manufacturing systems.
This Special Issue, Sustainable and Energy-Efficient Manufacturing Systems Through Advanced Sensor and Process Monitoring, invites research papers that present current research and development in exploring sensors and their integration for sustainable manufacturing. Topics include, but are not limited to, energy-efficient production, real-time monitoring, condition-based maintenance, and intelligent decision making using sensor networks. Papers addressing the role of sensors in reducing energy consumption and waste and improving operational efficiency are encouraged.
This Special Issue aims to showcase innovations in sensor-based monitoring and control, advancing sustainable and smarter manufacturing systems.

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. Sensors 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 2600 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.
