“…These can communicate with each other as well as with users through smart sensors and software that transmit data through a given network [1], [2]. It essentially presents an emergent paradigm as it comprises hardware infrastructure, software, and services that enable physical objects, known as 'things', to be connected to the Internet [3], [4].…”

Performance evaluation of a vehicular edge device for customer feedback in Industry 4.0

Industry 4.0 is the term used to specify the current industrial revolution, not only from a technological point of view but also from economical, sociological and strategical points of view. The revolution involves several traditional economic sectors, as is the case with the industrial ecosystem. The main benefits are related to creating value during the entire product lifecycle and in terms of customer feedback, which is particularly relevant to the automotive industry. Its disruptive diffusion is due to various enabling technologies, such as the Internet of Things (IoT), and, as such, it is a vision rather than a technological step forward. Thus, this paper investigates a performance evaluation of an Edge OBD-II device, which collects data from vehicles in an autonomous way in order to provide customer feedback and tracking. The metrics evaluated were different sets of OBD-II Parameter IDs (PIDS), responsiveness, driver behaviour and CO2 pollution estimates. The experiments were performed using three vehicles in urban and highway areas in the city of Natal, Brazil. For validation purposes, the results obtained from the vehicles were compared with an OBD-II Emulator, which demonstrated the accuracy of the experiments.

“…In fact, PA is a management concept based on observing, measuring and responding to intra-field variability in crops through the use of technology. PATs allow farmers to recognise variations in the fields and to apply variable-rate treatments with a greater degree of precision than before [15]- [16]. The management of PA can be divided into four phases ( Figure 2):…”

Measuring a farm's profitability after adopting precision agriculture technologies: A case study from Italy

Precision agriculture (PA) offers the opportunity for farmers to improve both efficiency in managing resources and optimisation of process inputs, thus increasing their whole farm’s profitability. Despite these well-known benefits, the adoption of PA technologies (PATs) is still challenging due to socio-economic barriers and unique characteristics of the farms: cropping systems, technical developments, field sizes and farm scale. The economic aspect is undoubtedly one of the most important aspects to consider before adopting PATs. In most of the cases, farmers are reluctant to introduce precision farming systems since the costs and uncertainty about the profitability and advantages need to be addressed. This study aims to explore how PATs could affect the profitability of a representative Italian farm specialising in the production of cereals, making this a case study. In detail, an economic analysis was applied to determine the profitability of the farm, which showed that the adoption of PAT’s increased the yield of durum and soft wheat and significantly reduced the cost of mechanical operations and technical means. Therefore, the potential gains from the adoption of PATs challenges policymakers to design targeted interventions which could encourage their uptake. This paper is an extended version of the original contribution presented to the 2019 IEEE International Workshop on Metrology for Agriculture and Forestry (MetroAgriFor) in Portici, Italy.

“…Based on these measurements, a binding uniform methodology for the diagnostics of a wooden house sandwich structure system could be proposed and unite the methodology in order to save on construction costs and increase the indoor environment quality for the inhabitants. In the future, the system can be used for commercial use in order to monitor and diagnose any wooden structure or for it to be extended to be compatible with IoT [20]. Based on the measurement, the ventilation, heating, or cooling systems can be controlled.…”

A measurement system for the long-term diagnostics of the thermal and technical properties of wooden houses

To reduce construction costs and to increase energy savings and indoor environmental quality in a wooden house, an energy consumption measuring system for the diagnostics of the thermal and technical properties of building envelopes has been developed. At present, the vast majority of calculations for the thermal and technical characteristics of buildings are based on simple mathematical models of building envelope behavior, and these are derived primarily from the thermal transmission of individual materials. However, thermal transmission is measured in a stable laboratory environment. Therefore, the measured values may not match the real behavior of materials in continually changing climatic conditions. The energy consumption measuring system was installed in seven wooden houses in different climatic areas to diagnose the thermal and technical properties of a building envelope. The power consumption, temperature, and humidity of the air as well as of the wood; CO2 concentration; the temperature of the individual layers of the envelope sandwich structure; and wind speed and direction were measured. Thanks to the sets of real measurements of the measured thermal and technical behavior, the actual dependence of the indoor environment quality on the outdoor climatic conditions can be ascertained. The presented system can reveal imperfections in the heat capacity and hygroscopicity of materials used for the construction of a wooden house. Based on this measurement, the materials can be revised to save construction costs and energy; to increase the indoor environment quality; and to reduce the impact on the environment by decreasing the amount of used materials.
