Publicação
IEEE ACCESS

Abstract
Industry 5.0 complements the Industry 4.0 approach by enabling the transition of industry digitization to a sustainable, human-centered and resilient paradigm. This paper delves into the exploration of enabling technologies that facilitate both Industry 4.0 and Industry 5.0 in the context of supporting supply chain (SC) logistics. The paper defines the principles of Logistics 5.0, which focuses on smart logistics systems for customized distribution, transportation, inventory management and warehousing by emphasizing interconnectivity, digitization, and optimization across SC operations. The traditional logistics framework requires innovative solutions grounded in emerging Industry 5.0 technologies capable of capturing and processing extensive datasets to empower decision-making based on information and knowledge. A comprehensive research has enabled to critically analyze enabling Industry 5.0 technologies by assessing their application status through real-case scenarios within SC Logistics 5.0. Furthermore, the paper identifies research gaps in the reviewed technologies by outlining promising areas for each Industry 4.0 technology. This guidance aims to direct future studies toward the practical application of technologies in supporting Logistics 5.0.

NAVIGATING UNPREDICTABILITY: COLLABORATIVE NETWORKS IN NON-LINEAR WORLDS, PRO-VE 2024, PT I

Abstract
For decades, the collaborative networks community has studied supply chains, focusing on trust, visibility, collaboration, and innovation, with emergent technologies being a key area of research. The rise of digital technologies has led to extensive studies on supply chain digital transformation. With the surge of AI-based technologies, there is an increasing body of research on AI's human and social impact on Supply Chain Management (SCM). However, while Socio-Technical Systems (STS) thinking has been applied to digital transformations, it has not yet addressed AI-induced changes in supply chains. This paper synthesises recent research on AI integration in SCM and the use of STS thinking in AI systems design. We propose a mapping approach for profiling AI-induced supply chain transformations for strategic design. We also present the Supply Chain Socio-Technical AI (SC-STAI) profiling tool in practice, demonstrating how it maps supply chain participants' current and desired states regarding AI integration.

NAVIGATING UNPREDICTABILITY: COLLABORATIVE NETWORKS IN NON-LINEAR WORLDS, PRO-VE 2024, PT II

Abstract
Canvas have for long been embraced as a popular design tool. Initially aimed towards, business model development, the model of a one page, visual and collaborative tool has spread to the design of many different artifacts. Digital platforms, with its conjugation of business, technical, and social facets have benefited from the canvas model for its design practices, from both scholars and practitioners. Nonetheless, the recent push for more industry-specific and holistic digital platform research agenda is bound to have an impact in the tools used for platform design. In this paper, we apply a literature review method to examine existing canvas, inspired by the Business Model Canvas, as tools for the design of digital platforms. Using conceptual platform design research as a frame of reference, we review eight canvas specific for digital platform design, highlighting four critical limitations in their application regarding (1) adopted broad platform conceptualizations; (2) a restricted focus on business elements; (3) a lack of focus on platform evolution; and (4) a lack of guidance in the translation of canvas to explicit platform design propositions and requirements. By addressing these limitations, we set a path for the evolution of canvas as collaborative tools that can better support the more comprehensive and nuanced approaches required for the design of digital platforms acting in an evermore non-linear, volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous environments.

PRODUCT LIFECYCLE MANAGEMENT: LEVERAGING DIGITAL TWINS, CIRCULAR ECONOMY, AND KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT FOR SUSTAINABLE INNOVATION, PT I, PLM 2023

Abstract
Data generated throughout the product development lifecycle is often unused to its full potential, particularly for improving the engineering design process. Although Knowledge-Based Engineering (KBE) approaches are not new, the Digital Twin (DT) concept is giving new momentum to it, fostering the availability of lifecycle data with the potential to be transformed into new design knowledge. This approach creates an opportunity to research howdigital infrastructures and new knowledge-based processes can be articulated to implement more effective KBE approaches. This paper describes how combining a DT-based Digital Platform (DP) with new engineering design processes can improve Knowledge Management (KM) in product design. A case study of a company in the energy sector highlights the challenges and benefits of this approach.

Publicação
AtoZ: novas práticas em informação e conhecimento

Abstract
Introdução/objetivo: O objetivo deste artigo é analisar a literatura acadêmica atual sobre smart cities (cidades inteligentes) no Brasil com evidências de aplicação da tecnologia Digital Twin (gêmeo digital) ou Digital Shadow (sombra digital). Método: A Revisão Integrativa da Literatura foi utilizada como instrumento de pesquisa, analisando nos artigos: a) objetivo; b) método de pesquisa; c) objeto de estudo (local); d) aplicação da Digital Twin ou Digital Shadow; e) Resultado e conclusões. Resultados: Portfólio com 25 artigos sobre o tema e a análise qualitativa quanto ao objetivo, método, local de estudo, tecnologia Digital Twin, Digital Shadow e resultados. Estudos com elementos da Digital Shadow são percebidos timidamente em dois casos de cidades inteligentes no Brasil. Conclusão: As tecnologias inteligentes das cidades devem ser centradas nos interesses dos usuários para não perder a sua humanidade. Cabe acrescentar que as necessidades das pessoas mudam e, com isso, as tecnologias inteligentes devem ter visão de futuro, com vistas a antecipar as necessidades das gerações futuras. A tecnologia Digital Twin é um modelo que pode contribuir neste sentido, monitorando e provendo a leitura de cenários futuros de cidades inteligentes.

ATOZ-NOVAS PRATICAS EM INFORMACAO E CONHECIMENTO

Abstract
Introduction/Objective: the objective of this article is to analyze the current academic literature on smart cities in Brazil with evidence of the application of Digital Twin or Digital Shadow technology. Method: Integrative Literature Review was used as the research instrument, analyzing in the articles: a) objective; b) research method; c) study subject (location); d) application of Digital Twin or Digital Shadow; e) Results and conclusions. Results: portfolio with 25 articles on the topic and qualitative analysis regarding objective, method, study location, Digital Twin technology, Digital Shadow, and results. Studies with elements of Digital Shadow are perceived timidly in two cases of smart cities in Brazil. Conclusions: smart city technologies should be centered on the interests of users to not lose their humanity. It is worth adding that people's needs change and, therefore, smart technologies should have a forward-looking vision to anticipate the needs of future generations. Digital Twin technology is a model that can contribute in this sense, monitoring and providing readings of future scenarios for smart cities.
