Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The industries of today and the near future are already smart. This adjective encompasses a large number of developments and advances that have been made in recent years in the collection and analysis of massive amounts of data in processes that were previously unmonitored. This massive digitization carried out in the industry allows the application of advanced techniques for data analysis in the plant, allowing a control of the process and the quality of production in continuous evolution. Obviously, this data collection requires the use of a large number of different types of sensors, establishing synergies between them to obtain relevant information. This information is usually further processed with machine learning or artificial intelligence algorithms to extract the underlying value it contains.
The aim of this Special Issue is to bring together all those novel research works in which special emphasis is placed on the use of advanced sensors in industrial manufacturing, paying special attention to the processing of the data obtained for the global improvement of the processes.
Dr. Alberto Tellaeche
Guest Editor
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.
