Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
On a daily basis, there are a great number of advances in manufacturing systems around the world. However, their effect and the characteristics of their implementation represent a unique source of creativity that can open the door to the small and medium enterprises (SME) to accelerate the incursion in digital manufacturing. The technical aspects of the way in which technologies like the digital twins are produced and applied remain a subject of significant research. Although industry in general is moving towards the next evolution of automation, the world has recognized the importance of human-centered, sustainable, and resilient manufacturing. Digital transformation has enabled the mass personalization of products, and at the same time, the tracking and traceability along the entire life cycle. The landscape of tools at reach includes the hybrid manipulation of virtual and physical entities and its role in the entire cyber-physical system.
With the above in mind, this Special Issue will provide a forum for researchers and practitioners to exchange their latest theoretical and engineering achievements and identify critical issues and challenges for future studies in the digital manufacturing systems and the related tools, models, and technologies. Results of experimental research in field conditions are encouraged for submission. The theoretical papers and proofs of concepts accepted into this Special Issue are expected to contain original ideas and potential solutions for resolving real problems.

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. Machines is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
