Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Industrial Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing modern manufacturing, supply chains, and energy management by enabling intelligent automation, real-time decision-making, and enhanced operational efficiency. With advancements in machine vision, predictive maintenance, real-time scheduling, and low-carbon optimization, Industrial AI has become a key driver of digital transformation in various industries. This Special Issue aims to explore cutting-edge AI methodologies and their integration with sensor technologies for industrial applications. Smart sensors, combined with AI-driven analytics, are enabling unprecedented levels of precision in monitoring, diagnosing, and optimizing industrial processes. From predictive maintenance using IoT-enabled sensors to AI-driven quality control and energy-efficient production, the convergence of AI and sensor technologies is reshaping industrial landscapes. This Special Issue welcomes original research and review articles on novel AI algorithms, sensor-based industrial monitoring, and real-world applications that enhance automation, sustainability, and efficiency in industrial settings.
