Technical Focus:

Smart manufacturing, also known as Industry 4.0, refers to the next-generation manufacturing paradigm that aims to make use of smart sensors, cloud computing infrastructures, artificial intelligence or machine learning, advanced robotics to improve manufacturing productivity and cost efficiency. As one of the key enablers for smart manufacturing, the Internet of Things (IoT) enables integration of physical objects with digital systems by offering connectivity of manufacturing devices and systems through sensors or augmented reality. The objective of this special issue is to collect cutting-edge research works focused on IoT-enabled smart manufacturing. Specific topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following:

Emerging sensing technologies for smart manufacturing and supply chain management
Sensor-enabled manufacturing process monitoring and control
Manufacturing intelligence and manufacturing informatics
Advanced diagnostics, prognostics and asset health management
Embedded systems for smart manufacturing
Augmented reality and wearable computing for greater equipment or process awareness
Machine-to-machine communication standards for smart manufacturing
Human machine interactions for smart manufacturing
Smart manufacturing test beds
Cybersecurity for smart manufacturing systems
Smart inspection systems
Cloud-based applications for smart manufacturing
IoT interoperability for smart manufacturing
