Information and Communication Technologies Within Industry 4.0 Concept

Internet of Things provides connectivity and interoperability between transport entities, transported entities and product entities in Industry 4.0 concept. The market requirements are changing on daily basis and for the business processes of manufacturing organizations to be successful, it is necessary to link all the supply chain stakeholders and ensure their real-time informing, by forming an ecosystem for connecting stakeholders of Industry 4.0 concept. By implementing contemporary information and communication technologies in the production line it is possible to ensure the flexibility of production and adaptation of product entities to end user requirements. The problem of providing real-time information to all participants in supply chain has been identified by analyzing the traditional supply chain in the manufacturing industry. Based on the analysis of information and communication technologies in Industry 4.0 concept, the aim of this research is to propose optimal information and communication technologies for connecting stakeholders of logistic production chain. This extends the opportunity for all logistic production chain participants to inspect the stage of product entities from the stage of the development of product materials to the delivery stage of the product to the end users.

Web 2.0 services for informing elderly people: Web for Health

This research on user requirements defines functionalities of the Web 2.0 systems for the targeted user group (elderly, people with impaired vision, hearing, speech, and neurodegenerative diseases - TUG) in order to improve the quality of their lives. For this purpose, there is a proposal of Web 2.0 technologies (HTML5 and PHP) whose functionalities allow dynamism and adaptability of information to the TUG. Architecture of solution is based on Cloud Computing (CC) technology which provides 24/7 support for provision of service and safety. Functionalities defined in this paper, are in fact a form of an assistive technology, which allows a registration of the TUG and enables a necessary adjustment of websites according to the degree of deficiency. Due to the functionalities listed within this paper, developed application solution allows the TUG to spend their third age in a dignified manner, providing them with the possibility to have more interaction with people and the opportunity to participate in various activities in their fields of interest.
