“…In fact, these examples are widely used in predictions about our future, as there are more and more activities which involve more efficient communication and collaboration systems. ICTs have a role to play within the production process, financial management, the relationship with providers, clients and they are considered a vital source of competitiveness and innovation in sustainable industrial systems [12,16].…”

Abstract:The aim of this study is to quantify the impact of information and communication technologies (ICT) and its technological updates on the success of the green supply chain (GSC) implementation, as well as the benefits this affords. This research is applied to the Mexican maquiladora export industry. A model of structural equations is presented to know the importance of the integration of ICT, combined with the implementation of GSC and the generation of benefits with the use of ICT. The results indicate that there is a direct, positive effect (PE) and significant among the four latent variables (LTV) analyzed but the most noteworthy is the indirect effect that the variable updating the ICT has on the benefits of GSC, through the variable mediators' implementation of a GSC, since the direct effect of updating the ICT on the benefits of the implementation of GSC does not become significant. Whereby, it is recommended that the industry integrates and updates its ICT since, using the integrated and updated ICT and the implementation of a GSC, a series of economic, productive and environmental benefits will be created.

“…By proposing variety of contemporary safety monitoring and controlling info-communication models, we have in mind a need for positive and progressive transfer and adoption of new technologies from developed environments into a developing one [1]. In other words, we were trying to propose aff ordable, i.e., cost-eff ective solutions, which have to be smart, safety and sustainable ("3S") at the same time [19]. In this paper, fi rstly, we shall give a short overview of the MANET and ZigBee networks' concepts and their functionality.…”

Abstract:The paper presents the results of some OPNET simulation experiments realized with an aim to benchmark MANET and ZigBee networks' performances at the seaport environment. The MANET is formed among workers' and supervisors' personal digital assistants (PDAs). On the other side, the ZigBee is established between end-nodes or employees' body central units (BCUs), which collect signals from several active and passive devices embedded into ID badges and personal protective equipment (PPE) pieces; several moving and fi xed routers; and the coordinator mounted at the appropriate seaport location. The simulation experiments are realized over the layout of the Port of Bar (Montenegro) container and general cargo terminal by taking into account the real number of workers and supervisors engaged at the terminal per each shift. This research work should give an insight to the seaport's managers and stakeholders into some advantages and disadvantages of these two considered wireless networks' schemes, and to motivate them to provide conditions for implementing these or similar on seaport and backend info-communication solutions for uprising the level of occupational safety and overall seaport's environmental management system.
