Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Industry 4.0 rests on modern enabling technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), Additive Manufacturing (AM), Virtual and Augmented and Mixed Reality (AR/AR/MR), Cloud technologies, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML).
All these technologies process data and a lot of that data stems from sensors, which are the drivers of Industry 4.0.
This Special Issue welcomes concise academic technical articles that explore all aspects of the data pipeline, from sensors to AI, the Cloud, and the end user. Theoretical as well as articles exploring practical applications are welcome.
Brief and well-focused literature review articles that contribute to the knowledge surrounding this topic are also acceptable.
Prof. Dr. Jorn Mehnen
Guest Editor
