Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The digitization of the manufacturing industry has led to leaner and more efficient production under the Industry 4.0 concept. Beginning with Industry 4.0, research on smart IoT technologies based on intelligence and connectivity is being conducted in various industrial fields. Artificial Intelligence applications open up a broad spectrum of opportunities to add value during manufacturing by optimizing processes and generating new business models.

This Special Issue intends to unite the topics of Artificial Intelligence for the IoT and Industrial IoT and, overall, address the wide range of applications of Artificial Intelligence for the IoT and Industrial IoT. Both review articles and original research papers related to the application of Artificial Intelligence for the IoT and Industrial IoT are welcome.

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following:

(1) Reference Architectural Model for IoT and Industry IoT;

(2) Security concerns with AI-powered mechanisms in an IoT and Industry IoT environment;

(3) Artificial intelligence and deep learning application for IoT and Industry IoT;

(4) Performance analysis based on complex networks in IoT and Industrial IoT networks.

Nowadays, the industrial Internet of things (IIoT) and smart factories are relying on intelligence and big data analytics for large-scale decision making. Yet, this method is facing critical challenges regarding computation and data processing due to the complexity and heterogeneous nature of big data. Smart factory systems rely primarily on the analysis results to optimize production, predict future market directions, prevent and manage risks, and so on. However, deploying the existing classical solutions such as machine learning, cloud, and AI is not effective anymore. Smart factory systems and industries need novel solutions to sustain their development. On the other hand, with the fast development of quantum information systems (QISs), multiple sectors are studying the opportunities and challenges of implementing quantum-based solutions for a more efficient and exponentially faster processing time. To this end, in this paper, we discuss the implementation of quantum solutions for reliable and sustainable IIoT-based smart factory development. We depict various applications where quantum algorithms could improve the scalability and productivity of IIoT systems. Moreover, we design a universal system model where smart factories would not need to acquire quantum computers to run quantum algorithms based on their needs; instead, they can use quantum cloud servers and quantum terminals implemented at the edge layer to help them run the desired quantum algorithms without the need of an expert. To prove the feasibility of our model, we implement two real-world case studies and evaluate their performance. The analysis shows the benefits of quantum solutions in different sectors of smart factories. Full article

As hydroenergetic losses are inherent to water supply systems, they are a frequent issue which water utilities deal with every day. The control of network pressure is essential to reducing these losses, providing a quality supply to consumers, saving electricity and preserving piping from excess pressure. However, to obtain these benefits, it is necessary to overcome some difficulties such as sensing the pressure of geographically distant consumer units and developing a control logic that is capable of making use of the data from these sensors and, at the same time, a good solution in terms of cost benefit. Therefore, this work has the purpose of developing a pressure monitoring and control system for water supply networks, using the ESP8266 microcontroller to collect data from pressure sensors for the integrated ScadaLTS supervisory system via the REST API. The modeling of the plant was developed using artificial neural networks together with fuzzy pressure control, both designed using the Python language. The proposed method was tested by considering a pumping station and two reference units located in the city of João Pessoa, Brazil, in which there was an excess of pressure in the supply network and low performance from the old controls, during the night period from 12:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m. The field results estimated 2.9% energy saving in relation to the previous form of control and a guarantee that the pressure in the network was at a healthy level.
