The supply chain is currently taking on a very important role in organizations seeking to improve the competitiveness and profitability of the company. Its transversal character mainly places it in an unbeatable position to achieve this role. This article, through a study of each of the key enabling technologies of Industry 4.0, aims to obtain a general overview of the current state of the art in shipbuilding adapted to these technologies. To do so, a systematic review of what the scientific community says is carried out, dividing each of the technologies into different categories. In addition, the global vision of countries interested in each of the enabling technologies is also studied. Both studies present a general vision to the companies of the concerns of the scientific community, thus encouraging research on the subject that is focused on the sustainability of the shipbuilding supply chain.

“…In both cases, the platform is connected to a Pixhawk autopilot system, while enhancing the flight control by 1) including a neural network to couple a vision-based track system [8] or 2) collaborating with a ground station to build a full distributed 3D position tracking system [20]. Finally, [31] demonstrates the use of companion solutions based on Raspberry Pi also in an unmanned aquatic vehicle.…”

Smart and Precision Agriculture is nowadays already exploiting advanced drones and machinery, but it is foreseen that in the near future more complex and intelligent applications will be required to be brought on-board to improve qualitatively and quantitative production. In this paper, we present an overview on the current usage of autonomous drones in this field and on the augmented computing capabilities that they could count on when companion computers are coupled to flight c ontrollers. T he p aper also present a novel architecture for companion computers that is under development within the Comp4Drones ECSEL-JU project.

“…Regarding the motion planning algorithm used in USVs aquatic monitoring platforms, the work in Reference [17] proposes a motion planning algorithm in a fleet of commercialized USVs for aquatic monitoring which implements an offline mechanism to generate trajectories taking into account the connectivity to the ground station. In Reference [18] the authors present a decentralized platform of Autonomous Aquatic Crafts (AACs) for research on swarm algorithm, that comprises two networks, one internal and another external to monitoring the state of the AACs. Both networks are defined based on an ad-hoc wireless technology with Xbee.…”

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a rapidly evolving technology that is changing almost every business, and aquaculture is no exception. In this work we present an integrated IoT platform for the acquisition of environmental data and the monitoring of aquaculture environments, supported by a real-time communication and processing network. The complete monitoring platform consists of environmental sensors equipped in a swarm of mobile Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs) and Buoys, capable of collecting aquatic and outside information, and sending it to a central station where it will be stored and processed. The sensing platform, formed by the USVs and Buoys, are equipped with multi-communication technology: IEEE 802.11n (Wi-Fi) and Bluetooth for short range communication, for mission delegation and the transmission of data collection, and LoRa for periodic report. On the back-end side, supported by FIWARE technology, an interactive web-based platform can be used to define sensing missions and for data visualization. Results on the sensing platform lifetime, mission control and delay processing time are presented to assess the performance of the aquatic monitoring system.
