The 5th International Conference of Agroindustry and Bio-economy (ICGAB) 2021 has been successfully carried out virtually, and the IOP Conference Proceeding Series: Earth and Environmental Science has been completed. It was the second time for ICGAB to be conducted virtually amid the Covid-19 pandemic. The Covid-19 pandemic has been hitting us for about two years, and the Government of the Republic of Indonesia has not removed the travel restriction and physical distancing policy. However, information technology helps us bridge the distance and overcome the physical restriction. Therefore, the committee decided to hold the conference virtually to provide forums for the students, academics, researchers, and professionals to disseminate their research despite the pandemic condition. Last year ICGAB successfully addressed the emerging technologies and the integrated information system for sustainable agroindustry. Such technology, innovation and information system are becoming critical for shifting agroindustry from conventional practices to be more sustainable. Therefore, Indonesia needs to strive, adapt and integrate the information system in agroindustry by implementing the internet of things (IoT) towards agroindustry 4.0. Such approaches may create opportunities for expanding sustainable agroindustry as well as to achieve food security. Thus, the current ICGAB topic is “Implementation of IoT to achieve Food Security and Green Agroindustry”. The 5th ICGAB 2021 aimed to communicate and disseminate research experiences, technology innovation, research and technology advances, and case studies related to implementing the internet of things (IoT) to achieve food security and green agroindustry. Since 2017, ICGAB has been successfully attracting more than 1100 participants from various countries. This year, the Faculty of Agricultural Technology Universitas Brawijaya (FAT UB) organised ICGAB virtually on 6-7 July 2021. The conference was managed in Universitas Brawijaya, Malang, East Java, Indonesia, using a virtual reality stage and Zoom platform. The distinguished keynote speakers for the plenary session were Prof. Naoshi Kondo from Kyoto University, Japan; Prof. Indrawati Oey from The University of Otago, New Zealand; Assoc. Prof. Young Hoon Jung from Kyungpook National University, Korea; and Dr. Irnia Nurika from Universitas Brawijaya, Indonesia. An International Workshop for Industry (IWI) was also carried out on the second day of the ICGAB conferences. Keynote speakers from industries were addressing IoT implementation in the industrial sector. The industrial practitioners as the second-day keynote speakers are Mr. Asep Noor, the General Manager Manufacturing System of Indolakto Indonesia; Mr. Fadli Hamsani from Schneider Indonesia; Dr. Nugroho Adi Sasongko from Agency for the Assessment and Application of Technology (BPPT), Indonesia, and Mr. Hoang Son Le from Yanmar Holdings, Japan.

The agro-industrial sector consumes a significant amount of natural resources for farming and meat production. By 2050, population growth is expected, generating more demand and, consequently, more consumption of scarce resources. This challenging scenario is a concern of the European Commission, revealed in the Green Deal commitment and by the United Nations’ 12th goal of sustainable development. Thus, organizations must increase productivity and be more sustainable as soon as possible. Internet of Things (IoT) is introduced as a solution to facilitate agro-food companies to be more eco-efficient, mainly facing difficulties on farms, such as food loss and waste, best efficiency in management of resources, and production. The deployment of this technology depends on the stage of maturity and potential of implementation. To assess and characterize companies, with respect of IoT implementation, a survey was applied in 21 micro, small and medium agro-food companies, belonging to milk, honey, olive oil, jams, fruticulture, bakery and pastry, meat, coffee, and wine sectors, in the central region of Portugal. As results, this paper reveals the stage of maturity, level of sophistication, potential, opportunities, solutions, and barriers for implementation of IoT. Additionally, suggestions and recommendations to improve practices are discussed.

At present, hospitals in our country have basically established the HIS system, which manages registration, treatment, and charge, among many others, of patients. During treatment, patients need to use medical devices repeatedly to acquire all sorts of inspection data. Currently, the output data of the medical devices are often manually input into information system, which is easy to get wrong or easy to cause mismatches between inspection reports and patients. For some small hospitals of which information construction is still relatively weak, the information generated by the devices is still presented in the form of paper reports. When doctors or patients want to have access to the data at a given time again, they can only look at the paper files. Data integration between medical devices has long been a difficult problem for the medical information system, because the data from medical devices lack mandatory unified global standards and have outstanding heterogeneity of devices. In order to protect their own interests, manufacturers use special protocols, etc., thus causing medical devices to still be the "lonely island" of hospital information system. Besides, unfocused application of the data will lead to failure to achieve a reasonable distribution of medical resources. With the deepening of IT construction in hospitals, medical information systems will be bound to develop toward mobile applications, intelligent analysis, and interconnection and interworking, on the premise that there is an effective medical device integration (MDI) technology. To this end, this paper presents a MDI model based on the Internet of Things (IoT). Through abstract classification, this model is able to extract the common characteristics of the devices, resolve the heterogeneous differences between them, and employ a unified protocol to integrate data between devices. And by the IoT technology, it realizes interconnection network of devices and conducts associate matching between the data and the inspection with the terminal device in a timely manner.

<span>The Internet of Things (IoT) is predicted to be one of the major megatrends in technology that applies worldwide including in Malaysia. Current advantages and expectations of using a connected device has become a reason to use applications in many areas, including the field of retail industry. The evolvement of technology has changed the retail landscape that replaces the manpower in their operations to improve the efficiency, quality and work ethics. Hence, this paper discussed comparative study of technology innovation applied and process flow in unmanned store from different country. Next, prototype of unmanned store apps was designed according to the most preferred technology based on the comparative study. IoT retailer model can be used to improve the retail experience for the customers. Thus, it may perform strategic marketing and gain retail intelligence. Besides, the revolution of using technology in this retail industry is contributing towards Industry 4.0 through digital transformation.</span>

This paper discusses the design and prototype implementation of a software solution facilitating the interaction of third-party developers with a legacy monitoring and control system in the airfield environment. By following the Internet of Things (IoT) approach and adopting open standards and paradigms such as REpresentational State Transfer (REST) and Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP) for message dispatching, the work aims at paving the way towards a more open world in the airfield industrial sector. The paper also presents performance results achieved by extending legacy components to support IoT standards. Quantitative results not only demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed solution, but also its suitability in terms of prompt message dispatching and increased fault tolerance.
