COURSE TITLE: Analysis of intelligent production systems in the Smart Industry
At the beginning, the hierarchical model based on the network of discrete events for robotic systems is presented. Based on the hierarchical approach, the Petri net is analysed as a net of the highest conceptual level and the lowest level of local control. For modelling and control of complex robotic systems using extended Petri nets.
Such a system is structured, controlled, and analysed in this paper using the Visual Object Net ++ package, which is relatively simple and easy to use, and the results are presented as easy-to-interpret representations. The hierarchical structure of the robotic system is implemented on analysed computers using specialized programs.
It is possible to implement hierarchical models of discrete event systems, as a real-time operating system on a computer network connected by a serial bus, where each computer is dedicated to the local and Petri dish of a global robotic system subsystem. Because Petri models are simplified to apply general purpose computers, analysis, modelling, control of complex manufacturing systems can be done using Petri nets. Discrete event systems are a pragmatic tool for modelling industrial systems. For modelling systems using Petri nets, because we have our system in case of a discrete event. To highlight the auxiliary time the Petri model using the transport flow divided into hierarchical levels and sections are analysed successively. The proposed simulation of the robotic system using timed Petri, offers the possibility to visualize the robotic time. Applying the goods or the robot and the transmission times obtained by measuring the point, graphs are obtained showing the average time for the transport activity, using the parameter sets of the finished products.
It aims to model an intelligent monitoring and control system, leading to the optimization of material and information flows of the company. The paper presents a model of monitoring and control of the real system using intelligent systems. The simulation of the production system proposed for analysis offers the possibility to follow and control the process in real time. The use of simulation models must be understood: the influence of changes in the structure of the system, the influence on the general orders of the manufacturing process, to the influence of the parameters on the behaviour of the system. The character application consists of real-time tracking and control of the technological process. This is done based on the analysed modular systems using mathematical, graphical-analytical models for sizing, configuration, optimization and simulation.
The role of Industry 4.0 in the maintenance of manufacturing systems is highlighted. Due to the implementation of advanced technologies and ways of learning technological equipment, hard systems can adapt relatively easily to fluctuations in the manufacturing process over time. To perform the system under analysis, we used specialized packages for simulating Petri nets, and the final implementation is done on a specialized database. The model is intended to be a source of support for the activities of companies that want to adopt new technologies in the manufacturing system and identify as few errors as possible due to ensuring the necessary maintenance and control, imposed by the chosen technological process. The advantages are the prototyping and analysis of the entire system after the implementation of tracking and the ability to control the entire system, which leads to the prevention and subsequent elimination of queues or possible accidents.
It attempts a theoretical approach to cloud systems with an impact on production systems. I call systems cloud computing because they form a relatively new concept in computing, representing computing services distributed as a whole, applications, access to information and data storage without the user knowing the physical location and configuration of the systems. The advantages of this approach are in particular computing speed and storage capacity without investment in additional configurations, synchronization of user data, data processing using web applications. The downside is that it wants to identify a solution for data security, leading to distrust in users. The case study applies to a module of the production system because the system is complex.
It shows how to integrate cloud systems and access them with IoT devices. The IoT platforms addressed in the paper are Platform as a Service (PaaS) and Software as Service (SaaS). The analysis is presented by modeling a case study for discrete event systems. Because the general system is analyzed as a tiered cloud system, we will leave the general system as stochastic. Qualitative analysis aims to verify the structural and behavioral properties of the system, the existence of blockages, connection and security systems. Quantitative analysis measures the specific performance of the manufacturing system. The results show that this approach can be used to detect blockages in the system. Thus, manufacturers can resize production capacity and even optimize the entire manufacturing system.
The activity of modeling and evaluating the performance of the manufacturing system plays an important role in theoretical research and technological improvement with IoT. The study presents the method of modeling and evaluating performance based on Petri nets and expressing the behavior of the entire system. According to the information diagram of the system, the constraint relationship between locations and transitions is identified, after which the extended graphical model is built, and the method of behavioral expression is then chosen to obtain a set of performance indicators. The study is designed to verify the effectiveness and efficiency of the system.
IoT together with the components of the 5G architecture refers to the technology, monitoring and remote control and also where these technologies are applied. IoT can focus on the open innovative promises of new technologies and also on advanced and complex processing in very small and close environments, such as industrial automation.
The advantages of Petri nets modeling and analysis systems used in manufacturing are:
- Explicit relationships between events.
- The same modeling language can be used to describe the abstract of the system at different levels.
- Analysis of system properties to validate the solution.
The benchmarks will require study system available, so they can be seen. There are cases where the performance study refers to a system that is not available, it is necessary to develop a representative approximation of it, either in hardware or software.
For the elaboration of the works we have made a link to be able to do research in particular regarding the confidentiality of the cloud manufacturing, the analysis of the IoT resources in the manufacturing systems and which can equal it for research purposes, namely RAMI 4.0. IoT is described in the literature as being anything connected to a network that can communicate autonomously without additional human intervention. This concept used in production and other industrial processes allows machine designers to create intelligent equipment and machines so that they can track, record, display, monitor and adjust parameters autonomously. For the cloud, we turned to the simple definition Cloud is an application available only to customers with active mobile Internet, which offers a solution for data storage. Cloud storage consists of archiving, organizing and distributing on demand data between virtualized storage volumes that have been consolidated into hardware.
The impact of digital transformation in manufacturing includes improvements in safety, quality, production, efficiency, revenue and sustainability – all while reducing costs to remain competitive in the market.
Some major benefits of digitization for manufacturing companies
- digital solutions improve safety, fewer injuries and accidents occur at the workplace
- improvements in the quality of results, reduction of product repetition, reduction of warranty work and increase of customer satisfaction.
- effective process improvement, has a positive impact on employee productivity and production output.
Digitization is radically changing the face of manufacturing companies. Digital factories are transforming manufacturing as companies implement innovative technologies and seek employees with fundamentally different skill sets.
Leading manufacturing companies are implementing a number of key technologies to digitize manufacturing as well as their entire supply chain. These include end-to-end big data analytics solutions, real-time planning and connectivity, autonomous systems, digital twinning and worker augmentation, among many others. These technologies offer significant efficiency gains and enable companies to produce highly customized products, often at batch size. But the full effect of digitization is only realized when companies are connected in real time to their key suppliers and critical customers.

COURSE TITLE: The role of digitalization in agriculture
Agriculture, where the crop is grown and the livestock raised, is the basic and essential element of human life. Agriculture provides basic food and nutrition for livelihoods and other necessary products, such as fabrics. However, agriculture is encountering a lot of risks or challenges, which are equal to everyone living on the planet. The risks are from the past or have not come yet, such as climate change, limited water resources and arable lands, biodiversity loss, agriculture productivity, aging farmers, market fluctuations, consumers’ changing interest, increasing population, and demands for environmentally sustainable, etc. As we entered into Industry 4.0, which is also influencing agriculture, digital technologies are leading a new agriculture future. The use of IT, IoT, ICT, GPS, GIS, drones, robotics, AI, and other advanced technologies in agriculture significantly improves efficiency and outcomes and reduces the cost and environmental damage. Digital agriculture, smart agriculture, or agriculture 4.0 contributes to building new agriculture from the aspects of sustainable development goals (SDGs), climate change, crop and animal production, and agricultural economics. We suggest all the nations go hand in hand to make an effort in digital agriculture success, as it is still in the infancy stage.

Firms are adjusting the way they do business for more reasons than just the economy. Virtually every industry has been touched by dramatic shifts in the technological, demographic, social-cultural, natural, and political-legal environments. To provide context, insight, and inspiration for marketing decision making, companies must possess comprehensive, up-to-date information about macro trends, as well as about micro effects particular to their business. In this lecture, we consider how firms can develop processes to identify and track important macroenvironmental trends. We also outline how marketers can develop good sales forecasts.
COURSE TITLE: Conducting Marketing Research
Good marketers need insights to help them interpret past performance as well as plan future activities. To make the best possible tactical decisions in the short run and strategic decisions in the long run, they need timely, accurate, and actionable information about consumers, competition, and their brands. Discovering a consumer insight and understanding its marketing implications can often lead to a successful product launch or spur the growth of a brand. In this lecture, we review the steps in the marketing research process. We also consider how marketers can develop effective metrics for measuring marketing productivity.
