The article presents challenges faced by higher education didactics resulting from the development of new concepts, Industry 4.0 and Logistics 4.0. In this context, there is now a research problem in how to conduct the didactic process, to be related to the real issues of the production companies and the TSL industry that occur in the everyday life of a company. The article may be an aid in choosing a modern ERP class system for the needs of the didactic process in a higher education institution, which should support a sequence of integrated procurement processes, production and distribution of goods as part of the Industry 4.0 and Logistics 4.0 concept. The selection process presented in the article should include the formulation of requirements regarding the selection of the appropriate ERP system by the university, the choice of the system and the parameterization of the solution to the specifics of the didactic classes along with the development of the laboratory schedule.

In the competitive Supply Chain (SC) ecosystem, Information Technology is undoubtedly the driver for innovation. Modern SCs are constantly searching for competitive advantages that could enable sustain growth and market share improvement. Industry 4.0 is paving the way for the new digitalization era where interconnected devices interoperate in a 24/7 basis and provide real-time reliable data to the SC stakeholders. The Internet of Things (IoT) is a solution for thousands of digital devices that strive for e-presence in the new landscape and jointly with the use of autonomous systems highlight the added value of real-time decision-making systems in end-to-end SCs. This paper analyzes the use of autonomous vehicles in industrial facilities and integrates them to the SC ecosystem and the IoTs landscape.

“…Regarding water management in agricultural systems, the use of sensors to determine the water needs of crops compared to classical sampling-based techniques is recommended, as their application: (i) saves time; (ii) is not laborious and (iii) is feasible for large-scale farming [18]. These sensors can either be deployed at field/soil for informing intelligent irrigation systems [19] or be mounted on automated guided vehicles that perform farming operations to recognise the specific freshwater requirements of individual plants [20].…”

Growing global food demand and security concerns dictate the need for state-of-the-art food production technologies to increase farming efficiency. Concurrently, freshwater overexploitation in agriculture, especially in arid and water-scarce areas, emphasises the vital role of appropriate water-saving irrigations techniques to ensure natural resources sustainability in food supply networks. In line with the development of automated systems, the use of sensors for water monitoring, indicatively in the cases of smart farming or precision agriculture, could further promote the preservation of freshwater resources. To this end, this research first provides a review of sensor applications for improving sustainability in agrifood systems. We then focus on digital technologies applied for monitoring and assessing freshwater utilisation in the food commodities sector based on academic literature and real-world business evidence. A contextual map is developed for capturing the main technical, environmental and economic factors affecting the selection of sensors for water monitoring and stewardship during agricultural production. This first-effort framework, in terms of sensor-based freshwater monitoring, aims at supporting the agrifood system’s decision makers to identify the optimal sensor applications for improving sustainability and water efficiency in agricultural operations.
