Sustainable Production Planning: Insights Into Factors, Models, and Solution Methods

Effective resource management remains a major challenge for organizations seeking to balance economic efficiency with environmental and social responsibility. In this context, production planning becomes a strategic mechanism for integrating sustainability into industrial operations. This research addresses the impor...

Digital Twin of Skills (DToS): A Semantic Framework for Deterministic Human–Robot Orchestration in Industry 5.0

The Digital Twin of Skills (DToS) is proposed, a conceptual and standards-oriented framework that formalises a skill as an agent-agnostic entity defined by its intent, interface, operational context, and configurable constraints, and instantiated per executor (R-DToS for robotic, H-DToS for human resources).

Zero-defect manufacturing: state-of-the-art and conceptual framework

Zero-defects manufacturing: state-of-the-art and conceptual framework

Zero-defect manufacturing has become essential for delivering defect-free products in increasingly demanding and customised production environments. Within the framework of Industry 4.0, technologies such as the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), digital twins, and artificial intelligence offer promising solutions t...

Analysis of Deployment Patterns for Edge Hosted Multimodal AI in Cloud–Edge Robotic Systems Utilizing ROS 2

A comparative evaluation of four ROS 2 deployment patterns for cloud-edge robotic AI: monolithic containers, microservices, dynamic module loading and overlay workspaces reveals a clear trade-off between monolithic and microservices patterns, and shows that no pattern dominates.
