“…The progress of a smart campus indicates similar progress in several sustainability indicators (Negreiros et al , 2020) which consequently leverages the achievement of the SDGs once a well-known relationship is found in the contribution of smart technologies to the construction of more sustainable university campuses (Némoz, 2015; Villegas-Ch et al , 2019; Kostepen et al , 2020; Adenle et al , 2021; Ceccarini et al , 2021). By contributing to lifelong learning practices (Mazutti et al , 2020) and collective learning (Némoz, 2015), campus safety (Ceccarini et al , 2021), energy efficiency (Negreiros et al , 2020), sustainable mobility (Torres-Sospedra et al , 2015) among others, smart practices on university campuses are closely connected to the SDGs as they are multidisciplinary and include many dimensions of campus life, especially regarding quality education (SDG 4), innovation and infrastructure (SDG 9) and sustainable cities (SDG 11).…”

Purpose Smart campuses can be seen as the future of higher education efforts, especially for their contributions to sustainability and to encourage innovation. This paper aims to present the benefits of smart practices in a Higher Education Institutions and highlights its connections to the sustainable development goals (SDGs). Design/methodology/approach The methodology is divided into three steps: first, an international search and assessment of smart practices at universities; second, the identification of smart practices in a university campus in southern Brazil; and third, the presentation of the benefits of smart practices and their relationship with the SDGs. Findings The results showed that globally, the area most covered by smart practices in universities is the environment and, specifically, focused on waste reduction. in the context of this case study, the benefits of implementing smart practices mainly reach SDGs 4 and SDG 9, especially due to aspects of teaching technologies for the new classroom models and the optimization of campus infrastructure management. Practical implications The study encourages other universities to implement smart practices in their campuses, to becoming smart campuses while they also collaborate in achieving the SDGs while raising the discussion on the importance of committed actions taken on a university campus with the UN SDGs, to leverage synergies on campus operations at universities. Originality/value This paper presents a set of smart practices that universities are applying both globally and locally (in southern Brazil). In addition, it contributes to sustainability research by showing how smart practices have the potential to promote SDGs in universities, especially through campus operations.

Digital transformation affects universities as well as many industries. Universities are increasingly using various digital resources and systems to manage their knowledge. The smart campus, on the other hand, supports informed decision-making by integrating these resources and systems. Process mining provides real insights for digital transformation, allowing processes to be examined more transparently. This study aims to examine the proposed project implementation processes related to the smart university with the process mining methodology. For this purpose, 32 completed projects submitted to İzmir Bakırçay University Scientific Research Projects Coordinatorship (BAPK) with the proposed methodology adapted from Deming's continuous improvement cycle were examined. The data are taken from two different pages in the project automation system. According to the research findings, Projects are grouped into three categories: Guided Projects (GDM, 5 projects), Graduate Thesis Projects (TEZ, 5 projects), and Career Start Support Projects (KBP, 22 projects). 40.6% (13 projects) of the applications went directly to the project review stage, while 19 (59.4%) needed procedural correction. Considering the time from the creation of the application of 32 projects to the signing of the contract, it is seen that the arithmetic average of the cycle time is 15.1 weeks, and the median average is 52.5 days. The notable difference between arithmetic and median mean is that very few projects are of long duration. Procedural adjustments affect project evaluation cycle time by an additional 14 days. The carelessness or lack of knowledge of the applicants extends the cycle time of the process from 15 days to 53 days. The total duration of unnecessary waiting time in the process is 17 days. This study primarily proposes that non-digital processes should be digitized as soon as possible.

“…Intelligent sensors can accumulate vast data [56]. For example, they can detect temperature, humidity, stress, pressure, colour, light, inconsistencies, and other factors that affect the manufacturing process depending on their configuration [43,57]. They are linked with gateways that enable them to send this captured data to the cloud server.…”

This study aims to determine the role of Industry 4.0 sensors in digital transformation. Using a systematic literature review with a bibliometric analysis, we examine a sample of 52 studies from the SCOPUS database to identify research activity on this topic until December 2022. We find that 2022 was the year with the highest number of peer-reviewed documents on the subject, with 18 publications. We also examine current themes and find that sensors can connect multiple systems and devices, thus enabling machine-to-machine communication and facilitating great precision during product designing, development, and production, thus enabling customization and improving quality. However, despite these benefits, the current sensor technologies face multiple challenges that undermine their maximum adoption.
