Supply chains have become increasingly complex, making it difficult to ensure transparency throughout the whole supply chain. In this context, first approaches came up, adopting immutable, decentralised, and secure characteristics of blockchain technology increase transparency, security, authenticity, auditability assets in chains. This paper investigates recent publications combining chain management classifies them regarding complexity be mapped on blockchain. As a result, is identified as...

The proper selection of a demand forecasting method is directly linked to the success supply chain management (SCM). However, today's manufacturing companies are confronted with uncertain and dynamic markets. Consequently, classical statistical methods not always appropriate for accurate reliable forecasting. Algorithms Artificial intelligence (AI) currently used improve methods. Existing literature only gives very general overview AI in combination This paper provides an analysis published...

Supply chains have evolved into dynamic, interconnected supply networks, which increases the complexity of achieving end-to-end traceability object flows and their experienced events. With its capability ensuring a secure, transparent, immutable environment without relying on trusted third party, emerging blockchain technology shows strong potential to enable in such complex multitiered networks. This paper aims overcome limitations existing blockchain-based architectures regarding...

The fifth mobile communications generation (5G) offers the deployment scenario of licensed 5G standalone non-public networks (NPNs). Standalone NPNs are locally restricted based on New Radio technology which fully isolated from public networks. operate their dedicated core network and offer organizations high data security customizability for intrinsic control. Especially in networked cloud manufacturing, is seen as a promising enabler delay-sensitive applications such autonomous robots...

Globalisation, shorter product life cycles, and increasing varieties have led to complex supply chains. At the same time, there is a growing interest of customers governments in having greater transparency brands, manufacturers, producers throughout chain. Due structure collaborative manufacturing networks, increase chain challenge for companies. The blockchain technology offers an innovative solution transparency, security, authenticity, auditability products. However, are still...

The usage of tracking and tracing technologies not only enables transparency visibility supply chains but also offers far-reaching advantages for companies, such as ensuring product quality or reducing supplier risks. Increasing the amount shared information supports both internal external planning processes well stability resilience globally operating value chains. This paper aims to differentiate define functionalities that are frequently used interchangeably in literature. Furthermore,...

As part of the “Perspectives on labour research Lusatia” (PAL) project, five chairs at Zwickau University Applied Sciences are working with industrial partners to develop low-threshold methods and tools for simplified screening work characteristics. Traditionally, assessment systems requires extensive specialist knowledge in areas occupational safety, ergonomics operational design. Creating a hazard stress register as basis system design is therefore time-consuming most times cost-intensive,...

Kurzfassung Die Blockchain-Technologie stellt einen vielversprechenden Ansatz fur Transparenz und Resilienz in Lieferketten dar. In diesem Beitrag wird untersucht, welche Blockchain-Losungen derzei...

The fifth generation of mobile communication (5G) is a wireless technology developed to provide reliable, fast data transmission for industrial applications, such as autonomous robots and connect cyber-physical systems using Internet Things (IoT) sensors. In this context, private 5G networks enable the full performance applications built on dedicated infrastructures. However, emerging technologies are complex challenging topic training in learning factories, often lacking physical or visual...

Mobile assistance systems (MAS) promise to overcome personnel shortages in operating theatres worldwide. A literature review inspired by the PRISMA 2020 method determines state of art MAS, and identifies a lack application areas for MAS theatre. Interviews with subject-matter experts aim investigate MAS. The results show that most operational tasks refer material management patient management. their potential reduce time needed management, physical mental strain have great Keywords: system,...
