Developing Digital Twin for Smart Manufacturing. What are the preliminaries?

Digital Twin (DT) is an emerging concept, which by broad definition refers to (a set of) digital models of physical entities. This paper discusses the preliminaries of when and to what extent digital twinning could be applied to optimize whole manufacturing systems. The key considerations are formalized into ten generic propositions based on the synthesis […]

The results of recent research reveal the current environmental situation of the global biomass supply chain via maritime transportation and suggest managerial strategies for low cost and low carbon fuels technologies

Despite many efforts, a global energy crisis has arisen in recent decades due to several reasons, e.g., the risk of fossil-fuel depletion and numerous adverse effects exerted on the environment because of the non-renewable energy generation. This has led scientists and practitioners to explore sustainable energy alternatives with the capacity of satisfying the rising demand

Understanding better the circular system of Lithium-ion batteries contributes to the global energy transition in a sustainable way

Transport systems significantly impact our environment, accounting for 29% of the global energy consumption and 25% of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. International efforts promote the use of electric vehicles (EVs) to reduce overall GHG emissions to achieve the energy transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources. We investigated the most influential factors for developing

How to consider market uncertainties in maintenance policy selection?

Industries that rely their production output on physical assets cope with the trade-off between maximizing operational time while minimizing maintenance to avoid equipment breakdowns. In an uncertain market environment, it is not said that the optimal maintenance policy would remain fixed. To study the issue, we reproduce a simplified mine environment employing a virtual counterpart
