Industrial Big Data and Artificial Intelligence

Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

Industrial platforms now generate vast, heterogeneous, and fast-evolving data—from high-frequency sensor streams and control logs to imagery, text, and graphs. This Topic seeks contributions that convert such data into trustworthy intelligence for analysis, optimization, and decision support across industrial settings. We welcome advances in scalable spatiotemporal learning; multimodal fusion and vision–time-series co-modeling; streaming/real-time and on-device analytics; robust anomaly detection under distribution shift; AI for quality assurance, process tuning, scheduling, and control; hybrid and physics-aware modeling; causal inference, uncertainty quantification, and governance for safe, auditable AI; privacy-preserving collaboration (e.g., federated or split learning); synthetic data and simulation-validated methods; and human-in-the-loop tools and visualization. Submissions may present algorithms, system architectures, datasets and benchmarks, reproducible case studies, surveys, or best-practice guidelines. Emphasizing reliability, safety, and cost-aware scalability, this Topic aims to bridge lab-grade methods and real-world deployment across manufacturing, energy and power, process industries, robotics, logistics, and smart infrastructure.

Preprints.org is a multidisciplinary platform offering a preprint service designed to facilitate the early sharing of your research. It supports and empowers your research journey from the very beginning.

MDPI Topics is collaborating with Preprints.org and has established a direct connection between MDPI journals and the platform. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity by posting their preprints at Preprints.org prior to publication:

1. Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.
2. Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.
3. Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.
4. Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.
5. Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
