Currently, there are numerous drawbacks associated with infrastructure health monitoring
and management, such as inefficiency, subpar real-time functionality, demanding data …

Adoption of digital twins in smart factories, that model real statuses of manufacturing systems
through simulation with real time actualization, are manifested in the form of increased …

Background and Purpose: The aim of this paper is to present the influence of Industry 4.0 on
the development of the new simulation modelling paradigm, embodied by the Digital Twin …

Recently, ontologies and semantic data technologies have increasingly come back into the
focus of research due to the emerging use of knowledge graphs. However, even though the …

The adoption of a digital twin for a smart factory offers several advantages, such as improved
production and reduced costs, and energy consumption. Due to the growing demands of the …

In this paper we present the methods and results obtained in a manufacturing process
optimisation project. The client company is a major regional manufacturer of specialized …

The notion of (self-) adaptation, according to J. Holland (1975), describes the process of
iterative refinement of an entity's behavior or structure to improve its performance in its …

Industry 4.0 proposes the use of digital and connected manufacturing technologies for
enhanced value creation. The measures that are traditionally associated with value creation …

Despite relevant research endeavors, modeling efforts related to the building of discrete-
event simulation models for planning changeable material flow systems still limit their …

Fruits such as guava or grapes need to be stored for long times under refrigerated
conditions, in order to prevent decay. Therefore, it is important to count on a refrigerated …
