The paper describes how a multidisciplinary team has developed, on behalf of Ansaldo Energia Spa, a methodology based on the technologies made available by Industry 4.0; a methodology that allows rescue teams to quickly intervene in the event of man-down in isolated areas of the plant where the unfortunate person would risk being found with...

The Authors of this paper had first conceptualized and then developed the automated picking plant described in the paper "A 4.0 Automated Warehouse Storage and Picking System for Order Fulfillment", presented by the Authors to the WCE 2021 IAENG Congress and awarded with the "Best Paper Award of the 2021 International Conference of...

In this paper the authors address the problem of surveillance of bedridden patients in hospitals and residences for elderly. Unfortunately, patients cannot be supervised by operators 24 h a day, given the associated costs. An attempt to solve this problem is already provided by wearable devices. This paper describes a 4.0 system implemented to...

Thanks to the principles and technologies made available by Industry 4.0, the authors conceptualized and modeled a new strategy, capable of making an effective contribution to the problem of limiting contagion from Covid19 today, and tomorrow from any possible other type virus, bacteria or pathogen agent introduced by subjects who, although...

A fundamental aspect of the fight against the Coronavirus and against any other virus, is represented by the sanitization of the sites and objects contained therein. This operation is normally carried out using mixtures of ozone and steam and it is certainly effective but also limited due the damages that the vapor can cause to rooms and...

Despite the number of scientific contributions on the topic, there are still several challenges to be faced before the principles of Industry 4.0 become widely applicable. This study aims precisely to overcome some of the limitations of existing technologies and applications for material handling and picking. The current market solutions often...

The Authors, in this article, present a case study reporting the management and economic comparison between the traditional methods used for sanitizing confined spaces and an innovative process, performed by trained Operators using a 4.0 machine, created by the same Authors, able to produce and dismiss dry Ozone (thus replicating the Chapman...
