Industrial Control Systems
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
The industrial control systems sector has experienced significant growth in the last few decades. Technological innovations, combined with immense pressure on manufacturers to meet deadlines, have led to increased adoption of automation in factories. Due to the Internet of Things, collaborative robots, automated test equipment and smart sensors, human error is minimized, while system efficiency, reliability and work rates are expedited. Connecting machines through sensor networks and collecting measurement data in real time has made it possible to reduce product defects and downtime and shift to predictive maintenance. In more recent times, the work of researchers has also focused on how industrial automation can help in reducing energy consumption, emissions, and waste. Therefore, we are pleased to invite the research community to submit review or regular research papers on, but not limited to, the following relevant topics related to industrial control systems:
- Instrumentation and measurement;
- Supervisory control and data acquisition;
- Smart sensing and monitoring;
- Human activity recognition;
- Fault detection;
- Edge artificial intelligence;
- Smart applications;
- Predictive maintenance in manufacturing;
- Embedded intelligence;
- Visual recognition;
- Distributed control systems;
- Wireless sensor network;
- Sustainability.

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