“…Implementing the principles of I4.0 into industrial applications is a slow process, mainly due to the generally nonsystematic approach. At present, relevant technologies involve and rely on digitization, robotics, non-optimal data acquisition, virtual reality, IoT, and advanced data processing [ 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 ]; simultaneously, however, application standards remain undeveloped or are lacking completely, and a similar deficiency also affects corporate economy and common initiative in any given field [ 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 ]. Conversely, these separate technologies help to accelerate the implementation of I4.0 principles and open new opportunities and challenges for technical development; in the given context, such benefits were considered unfeasible 5–7 years ago.…”

One of the central concepts in the principles of Industry 4.0 relates to the methodology for designing and implementing the digital shell of the manufacturing process components. This concept, the Asset Administration Shell (AAS), embodies a systematically formed, standardized data envelope of a concrete component within Industry 4.0. The paper discusses the AAS in terms of its structure, its components, the sub-models that form a substantial part of the shell’s content, and its communication protocols (Open Platform Communication—Unified Architecture (OPC UA) and MQTT) or SW interfaces enabling vertical and horizontal communication to involve other components and levels of management systems. Using a case study of a virtual assembly line that integrates AASs into the technological process, the authors present a comprehensive analysis centered on forming AASs for individual components. In the given context, the manual AAS creation mode exploiting framework-based automated generation, which forms the AAS via a configuration wizard, is assessed. Another outcome consists of the activation of a virtual assembly line connected to real AASs, a step that allows us verify the properties of the distributed manufacturing management. Moreover, a discrete event system was modeled for the case study, enabling the effective application of the Industry 4.0 solution.

“…Various speed and altitude may be set during the flight and additional accessories may be controlled by the drone. The use of real-time image detection on an autonomous flight of the UAV can serve for package delivery, mapping of large areas, or for military missions and other security forces [8][9][10][11][12].…”

A Detection System with Spider Web Coil-Based Wireless Charging and an Active Battery Management System

The article presents a detection system with spider web coil-based wireless charging. Commonly available metal detectors are sold as handheld systems, which enable only progressive, lengthy, time-consuming search. Importantly, a part of the investigated area can thus be easily missed, and the probability that a metal object will not be found increases substantially. This problem, however, is eliminable via the automatic position tracking mode embedded in the solution obtained through our research. The proposed system facilitates using the spider web coil simultaneously for wireless charging and metal detection by pulse induction. The topology of the detector can emit variable pulse lengths, thus allowing the device to detect more types of metal and to adapt itself to the permeability of the soil. The coil has a branch in a relevant part of the winding to reduce undesirable electromagnetic interference during the charging. On the transmitting side of the topology, impedance matching is included to maintain the maximum spatial gap variability. By changing the position of the receiving side, the output voltage changes; therefore, a high efficiency DC/DC converter is employed. The individual battery cells demonstrate different internal resistances, requiring us to apply a new method to balance the cells voltage. The system can be utilized on self-guided vehicles or drones; advantageously, a GPS resending the coordinates to a mesh radio allows for accurate positioning. With the mesh topology, potential cooperation between the multiple systems is possible. The setup utilizes the same coil for wireless power transfer and detection.
