New Frontiers in Industry 4.0
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the last few years, the Industry 4.0 paradigm has been one of the leading paradigms towards integrating modern smart technologies in manufacturing and industrial practice. The main underlying Industry 4.0 goals have been to allow for the closer interconnection of machines, devices and people, to increase information transparency, to support humans in a broad range of decision-making activities and to enable the autonomous operation of cyber-physical systems.
Industry 4.0 comprises a set of major components, including:
- Internet of Things platforms and applications;
- Mobile and wearable devices;
- Smart sensors;
- Authentication, data security and protection;
- Cognitive computing platforms and applications, including technologies related to artificial intelligence, machine learning, as well as big data processing and analytics;
- Advanced interactive technologies, including augmented/virtual reality;
- Advanced data visualization techniques.
This topic aims to collect the results of research in these, and other relevant, Industry 4.0 areas. The submission of papers within those areas with strong connection to engineering, industrial and manufacturing applications is strongly encouraged.

Preprints.org is a multidiscipline platform providing preprint service that is dedicated to sharing your research from the start and empowering your research journey.
MDPI Topics is cooperating with Preprints.org and has built a direct connection between MDPI journals and Preprints.org. Authors are encouraged to enjoy the benefits by posting a preprint at Preprints.org prior to publication:
- Immediately share your ideas ahead of publication and establish your research priority;
- Protect your idea from being stolen with this time-stamped preprint article;
- Enhance the exposure and impact of your research;
- Receive feedback from your peers in advance;
- Have it indexed in Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
