Sustainability is a topic that has been addressed and enhanced with significant improve opportunities by the fourth industrial revolution, which is an essential strategy in the medium- and long-term for industries to adapt to an urgent necessity from society: for competitive and sustainable manufacturing of goods. In that regard, energy efficiency is one of the key aspects for industries that want to achieve a sustainable and carbon neutral production process. This paper approaches how the application of technologies and methodologies can substantially improve processes overall efficiency in terms of energy consumption. The paper is divided in a three-step research, starting with: a systematic review to identify how smart manufacturing and cyber-physical systems are leveraging results in manufacturing energy efficiency; followed by experiments to make real time monitoring and simulation of industrial energy consumption to optimize processes and reduce energy waste and as a third and final step results are discussed showing gains in production planning and potential saving opportunities in manufacturing energy consumption and costs.

In the globalized economic scenario, the ability to adapt to the flexibility of demand is crucial for the longevity of companies. In this context, industrial logistics has a key function in production flexibility. To meet this urging need, the concept of industry 4.0 brings along the use of IoT (Internet of things). Considering the importance of industrial logistics on the flexibilization of production lines, this present research presents a systematic literature review through the application of the PROKNOW-C method (Knowledge Development Process – Constructivist) aiming to understand the use of IoT (Internet of Things) in industrial logistics. The findings can be summarized by four strategical elements that should be leveraged in the decision making process by any company willing to implement IoT in industrial logistics as key factors for implementation success: clear process definition, implementation planning, people training and standardization.

A análise da disponibilidade de recursos hídricos na região metropolitana deCuritiba e a importância das indústrias em buscar fontes alternativas de captação de águaThe analysis of the availability of water resources in the metropolitan region of Curitiba and the importance of industries in seeking alternative sources of water abstraction RESUMO Atualmente muitas iniciativas acontecem isoladamente ainda muito focada em edifícios e residências para uma aplicação mais básica como lavar carros, roupas e em vasos sanitários, porem o potencial vai muito, além disso. A captação da água da chuva ainda é uma técnica que pode contribuir muito com a escassez de água causada pela industrialização e crescimento populacional. A pesquisa aborda o problema de limitação de água doce em Curitiba e região metropolitana, onde a situação é classificada como "Criticidade quali-quantitativa". O principal objetivo da pesquisa é demonstrar a disponibilidade hídrica da região e o consumo de água potável de uma empresa metalúrgica localizada na Fazenda rio grande, Paraná com interesse em implantar a captação de água da chuva, e os pontos críticos para emprego dessa água em seu processo. A pesquisa foi estruturada utilizando a metodologia de revisão bibliográfica sistêmica, com principal objetivo de validar a relevância do tema reforçando que é uma preocupação global. Através da pesquisa e análise das palavras utilizando a ferramenta VOSviewer (Visualizing scientific landscapes), foi possível definir as palavras chaves. O resultado da pesquisa bibliográfica demonstra que o tema vem sendo cada vez mais discutido, e tem se tornado cada vez mais aplicado ao redor de todo o mundo, não sendo apenas uma aplicação local ou de uma determinada região. Após avaliação dos dados disponíveis nas bases da Agencia nacional de águas (ANA) e Companhia de Saneamento do Paraná (Sanepar) confirmam que a região precisa de investimentos em projetos de captação de água para que se tenha mais uma alternativa de formas alternativas de captação de água. ABSTRACTCurrently, many initiatives happen in isolation while still very focused on buildings and homes for a more basic application like washing cars, clothes and toilets, but the potential goes way beyond that. Rainwater harvesting is still a technique that can greatly contribute to water scarcity caused by industrialization and population growth. The research addresses the problem of freshwater limitation in Curitiba and the metropolitan region, where the situation is classified as "Quali-quantitative Criticality". The main objective of the research is to demonstrate the water availability of the region and the drinking water consumption of a metallurgical company located in Fazenda rio grande, Paraná, with interest in implementing rainwater harvesting, and the critical points for the use of this water in its area. process. The research was structured using the systemic literature review methodology, with the main objective of validating the relevance of the theme reinforcing that it is a global concern. Through ...

Single point incremental sheet forming stands out mainly by using traditional CNC machines to produce small batches of parts or customized products. Thus, any excessive force in the process may compromise the integrity of the machining center or even damage the component itself, limiting its formability. Hence, this work presents the design of experiments to investigate the behavior of mechanical forming forces and optimize the process. The main goal was to build a mathematical function by regression analysis that best represents the theoretical model. The equation proposed here allows to locate and estimate the maximum effort F z_peak based on five input parameters: tool diameter; wall angle; sheet thickness; vertical step size; and tool feed rate. At the same time, determine the set of data that maximize the required formability. The test was carried out using a carbide coated tool K40 and a commercial sheet steel ASTM A653 CS-A G90. The following were found: the feed rate is not significant and can be maximized to reduce production time; the tool diameter and wall angle are significant, and they have a slight influence on the forces and both depends on the design area; the vertical step size is significant and the most important parameter to leveling the process to reach maximum formability. Finally, the sheet thickness is obviously significant; however, it is also specified by the design.
