Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The 2025 IEEE International Workshop on Metrology for Industry 4.0 and IoT (http://www.metroind40iot.org/) will be held in Castelldefels, Barcelona, Spain, on 1–3 July 2025. Authors of the papers presented at the workshop related to Sensors are invited to submit extended versions of their work to this Special Issue for publication.
The workshop aims to discuss how contributions in metrology translate to the development of Industry 4.0 and IoT and subsequently new opportunities for the advancement of new measurement methods and apparatuses. We aim to provide a platform to connect people who work in the development of instrumentation and measurement methods for Industry 4.0 and IoT. Particular areas of focus include, but are not limited to, new technology for metrology-assisted production in Industry 4.0 and IoT, Industry 4.0 and IoT component measurements, sensors and associated signal conditioning for Industry 4.0 and IoT, and calibration methods for electronic tests and measurement for Industry 4.0 and IoT.
Topics:
- industrial sensors;
- virtual sensors and sensor interfacing;
- IoT-enabled sensors and measurement systems;
- measurement applications based on IoT;
- industrial IoT, Factory of Things, and Internet of Things;
- wireless sensor networks and IoT;
- wearables and body sensor networks;
- sensor systems for agriculture applications
- energy harvesting methods for sensor systems
- sensors data management;
- localization technologies.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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.
