“…In the same vein, Hopf and Müller (2015) study the energy and resource consumption efficiency in manufacturing sites in daily planning and operational activities. The authors apply a state-of-the-art energy information system in the context of a digital factory and use energy cards to provide energy consumption details about all the parts in a manufacturing system, hence fostering energy consumption visibility and optimization.…”

Internationalization of markets and climate change introduce multifaceted challenges for modern supply chain (SC) management in the today's digitalisation era. On the other hand, Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) systems have reached an age of maturity that allows for their utilization towards tackling dynamic market conditions and aligning SC management focus with sustainability considerations. However, extant research only myopically tackles the sustainability potential of AGVs, focusing more on addressing network optimization problems and less on developing integrated and systematic methodological approaches for promoting economic, environmental and social sustainability. To that end, the present study provides a critical taxonomy of key decisions for facilitating the adoption of AGV systems into SC design and * Corresponding author.

We then propose the Sustainable Supply Chain Cube (S2C2), a conceptual tool that integrates sustainable SC management with the proposed hierarchical decision-making framework for AGVs'. Market opportunities and the potential of integrating AGVs into a SC context with the use of the S2C2 tool are further discussed.

“…This is because, if the one provided by the manufacturers is available, in most cases it is not standardized. Furthermore, knowing the energy information in the different operating states of each machine is difficult in practice [2]. In addition, as energy reports must be properly linked to CSR reports, detailed measurements and contextual analysis can contribute to reducing energy consumption.…”

An IoT Based Mobile Augmented Reality Application for Energy Visualization in Buildings Environments

Augmented reality (AR) improves how we acquire, understand, and display information without distracting us from the real world. These technologies can be used in different applications and industries as they can incorporate domain-specific visualizations on a real-world screen. Mobile augmented reality (MAR) essentially consists of superimposing virtual elements over real objects on the screen, to give added value and enrich the interaction with reality. In numerous plants, it is being used for maintenance and repair tasks, as well as training. The Internet of Things (IoT) is increasingly pervading every aspect of our lives, including the power infrastructure of our buildings. IoT-enabled devices offer many connectivity options for helping supervise all-important energy assets. Aggregating data to cloud-based platforms enables operations teams to have on-time information access to make fast decisions and have a fast response regarding energy use, while maintenance teams keep on top of the appliance power quality and reliability needed by using MAR. This paper presents a novel approximation for visualizing appliance-related power quality to enhance awareness about the consumed electricity. A combined solution of MAR with IoT technologies is employed. Engineered solutions’ hands-free way to get data about surrounding appliances reduces the complexity, saves energy, and speeds up the operations. An innovative way to measure things at the right time leads to a competitive advantage.
