Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Communication systems are the backbone of the factory of the future. In this context, digitization and networking are taking on an increasingly important role for manufacturing companies to make their production processes more flexible and at the same time more robust, ultimately with the vision of a resilient factory.
5G has the potential to become an important factor because of the ability to wirelessly connect multiple assets in factories and at the same time guarantee them a determined quality of service (QoS). Ultra-reliable low latency communication (URLLC) is of particular importance in this context.
To further develop the 5G ecosystem, additional R&D efforts are required to make industrial 5G devices marketable and to validate their performance in corresponding use cases. Furthermore, the integration of 5G networks into the industrial LAN and the interaction with edge–cloud systems is of high importance. The coexistence of public and non-public 5G networks also needs to be investigated.
Therefore, this Special Issue covers essential aspects of current research topics on the use of 5G in production.

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. Electronics 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 2400 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.
